- Ch. 1-11, 9781492574682, with Rationales
a set of internal processes associated with practice or experience leading to relatively permanent
changes in the capability for skilled performance is - ANSWER:none of the above
what is an observable behavior that can be measured - ANSWER:performance
because learning cannot be seen it must remain a what from performance - ANSWER:inference
in general grading on "improvement scores" is a poor procedure because it - ANSWER:fails to
recognize the difficulty of improving as one advances to higher levels of performance
an important characteristic of skill learning is that a person who has learned a skill should be able to
demonstrate the improved level of performance today, tomorrow, next week, and so on. This general
performance characteristic is called - ANSWER:persistence
as learning progresses a person's performance levels should become more similar from one attempt
to another. this general performance characteristic is called - ANSWER:consistency
as skill learning takes place a person performs at a higher level of skill at some later time than at some
previous time. this general performance characteristic is called - ANSWER:improvement
if a performance curve shows proportional performance increases over the time period for which it is
measured which type of curve would best describe this - ANSWER:linear curve
if a performance curve shows small gains in performance, then large gains, then finally small gains
again, which type of curve would best describe this - ANSWER:o give or s shaped
which method of assessing learning is being used if a person is required to perform a skill one week
after he/she had practiced the skill - ANSWER:retention test
if a person is required to perform a practiced skill in a new situation, which method of assessing
learning is best used - ANSWER:transfer test
a period of stationary performance, preceded, and sometimes followed, by an accelerated
performance increment is a - ANSWER:performance plateau
of the major criteria for judging the appropriateness of a performance measure, which one indicates
whether the performance score actually measures what it is supposed to measure - ANSWER:validity
of the four criteria of an appropriate performance measure, three are important for both applied
settings and laboratory settings. Which one is appropriate only for laboratory - ANSWER:novelty
what of a performance measure refers to the repeatability of the measure - ANSWER:reliability
what of a performance measure means that two different people should be able to arrive at a similar
score for a subject's performance - ANSWER:objectivity
the learner just tries to understand the "goal" of the movement and build a plan or strategy for
proceeding in which stage of Fitts and Posner's model - ANSWER:cognitive
performance is highly proficient; the learner has complete understanding of the skill. this
characterizes which stage of Fitss and Posner's model - ANSWER:autonomous
, performance is improving through practice, but is not yet highly proficient. this characterizes which
stage in the Fitts and Posner's model - ANSWER:associative
in the cognitive stage of learning, performance is primarily under control of which sensory system -
ANSWER:visual
performance is highly variable in which stage of learning in the Fitts and Posner's model -
ANSWER:cognitive
as a person practices a skill, an important change that occurs is the capability to - ANSWER:detect and
correct errors
we would expect changes in movement patterns to occur as a person becomes more skilled. These
changes should show that a person - ANSWER:increases in movement efficiency and coordination
according to an important review of the literature by Ericsson et al. (1993), what is the minimum
number of years of deliberate practice required for achieving expertise, regardless of the domain
(sport, music, chess, art, etc) - ANSWER:10
as we progress from a club level of performance to international and world class levels, what happens
to the number of active individuals at these levels - ANSWER:it decreases
if successful prediction of later practice performance is possible from early practice performance,
then correlating early and later practice trials should result in a - ANSWER:high
the superdiagonal form of a correlation matrix, in which all practice trials are correlated with each
other shows - ANSWER:mainly adjacent trials tend to have high correlations with each other
one of the primary reasons why it is difficult to predict later success from early practice is that -
ANSWER:abilities that underlie successful performance early in practice are different from those
required for later success
according to Ericsson et al (1993) conceptualization of expertise, deliberate practice has to be
maximized within the following three constraints - ANSWER:resource, effort, and motivation
the influence of pervious experience on performing a skill in a new context or on learning skill is -
ANSWER:none of the above
transfer tests in motor learning research can involve - ANSWER:all of these conditions can be involved
in transfer designs (performing a different, although related skill than was practiced and performing a
novel variation of the practiced skill and lastly performing the practiced skill in a new situation
negative transfer can be expected for which one of the following situations - ANSWER:learning to hit a
tennis forehand after having learned a racquetball forehand
what type of transfer of learning would be expected between learning to swim and learning to drive a
car - ANSWER:zero
the overall transfer of learning among tennis, racquetball, badminton, handball, and squash would
most likely be - ANSWER:positive
student a and student b set out to learn how to drive an automobile with a standard transmission
(clutch and stick shift). student a already knows how to drive an automatic transmission; student b
has no previous driving experience. which of the following is more likely to happen - ANSWER:student
a will probably learn the new skill faster
