PGA Level 1 Teaching & Coaching Questions and Answers Already Passed Improvement in golf skill performance due to increased strength and flexibility as a result of participation in a fitness program is that learning has taken place. (T/F) False A common mistake in teaching is the expectation that the student will be able to learn a skill from a verbal suggestion. (T/F) True Cognitive learning is the first phase of learning a student will pass through when learning a new skill. (T/F) True Effectively inhibiting unwanted movements is a characteristic of the autonomous phase of learning. (T/F) True Competing movements encountered in new skill learning can cause a motor program memory to be forgotten. (T/F) True Students can expect a slower rate of learning as they progress through the 3 phases of golf skill learning. (T/F) True Motor learning has taken place when the improvements in skill technique were caused by changes in motivation. (T/F) False 3 Phases of Golf Skill Learning 1) Early (cognitive), 2) Intermediate (associative), 3) Advanced (autonomous) Memory An internal representation of an event, experience, or something learned, and is about its storage and retrieval. Retention Persistence or durability over time of something learned. A student's improved performance by the end of the first lesson is evidence that learning has occurred. (T/F) True As learning takes place there are 4 performance characteristics observed. What are they? Improvement, consistency, persistence, adaptability According to the Challenge Point Framework, the level of difficulty should be increased as a player improves or becomes familiar with how swing movements feel. (T/F) True Changes in performance that result from increased motivation are suitable as evidence for learning? (T/F) False One-minute is about the short term memory storage capacity for new cognitive information before it is lost due to inattention? (T/F) True Performance production measures are the result of the movement. (T/F) True Intrinsic Feedback Comes solely from the student and arises as a natural consequence of the performed skill. Augmented Feedback Received from a source external to the performer that supplements the intrinsic feedback. Performance is: Observable Behavior Learning is not: Observable Behavior What is an indication that learning has occurred? When a relatively permanent change in performance has occurred. Outcome Measures simply focus on what happens as a result of the movement. What happens to the student in the early phase of golf skill learning? The student may have cognitive self-talk aloud, lack confidence, and fear of failure. What should instructors teach their students in the early learning phase? 1)Explain and demonstrate the new skill or correction, 2)CLEARLY point out appropriate cues, 3)Encourage students to exercise patience in learning and 4) Encourage positive and rational self talk. How does a student transfer golf skills learned in the cognitive phase to play on the course in the intermediate phase? Transfer Practice What would be a Transfer Test to determine learning? If a student has been chipping on flat lie, move the student to uneven lies. What would be a Retention Test to determine learning? If the student takes a lesson and then practices three times that week, how will the skill hold up after two weeks with no practice. According to the 2004 Guadagnoli and Lee study, what is th
