Chapter 10 Quiz Motor Learning Exam
Questions And Correct Answers
You are observing an eighth grade basketball practice where the team is practicing free throws.
You notice one child is using more of a "shot put" type motion vs. the proper technique. The nets
are at regulation height and this particular individual is significantly shorter than the rest of the
team. The error you saw (shot putting) is likely:
-a recall error.
-a comprehension error.
-a decision making error.
-an error due to constraints. - answer✔✔an error due to constraints.
The optimal viewing perspective from which to observe a skill is:
-up close.
-from behind.
-from the right side.
-from the left side.
-dependant on the skill. - answer✔✔dependant on the skill.
Corrections involving fundamental changes to the motor program:
-take a long time to fix.
-can be fixed almost instantaneously.
-will never be completely fixed.

-should be ignored. - answer✔✔take a long time to fix.
Teaching a learner how to systematically look for key performance characteristics when
assessing a situation will resolve:
-errors due to constraints.
-sensory errors.
-recall errors.
-decision-making errors. - answer✔✔decision-making errors.
A factor that should be considered prior to making a correction is the learner's motivation to do
so.
-True
-False - answer✔✔true

-cues.
-key elements.
-patterns.
-behaviors. - answer✔✔key elements.
Which of the following would NOT be considered an underlying cause of a movement execution
error?
-Insufficient practice
