Answer Motor imagery
4. A student relates primarily to which type of imagery if she is unable to learn
from a face-on video of her swing?
Answer External imagery
,5. A student relates primarily to which type of imagery if she is able to learn from
a face-on video of her swing?
Answer Internal imagery
6. Does cognitively rehearsing procedural skills at a fast rate before physically
performing them interfere with the benefits of mental practice?
Answer Practicing at a faster rate helps to remember the steps they need to perform
7. What is the definition of modeling when used for teaching and coaching?
Answer The use of a demonstration as a means of conveying information about how to perform a motor skill.
(Observational learning, used in demonstration)
8. When is mental practice and motor imagery most effective?
Answer When used in conjunc- tion with physical practice
9. What is the best way for beginners to improve their shot performance?
Answer Combine mental and physical practice
10. What makes 'cognitive hypothesis' an effective learning tool?
Answer Helps identify what to do and where to focus attention
,11. Which condition enhances the benefits of mental practice?

13. What is an effective means of helping a beginner to use motor imagery to
improve performance?
Answer Combine with physical performance
14. What situation justifies substituting mental practice for physical practice?
Answer -
When the student cannot physically practice

mental and physical practice?
Answer Recall past shots, execute prior memory
, 16. What is an example of "Form Focus of Attention"?
Answer Stance, ball position, posture
17. What is an example of retroactive transfer?
Answer Subsequent learning of a skill attects ability to perform previous acquired skill

19. Addison has acquired a new student who previously played ice hockey.
During the opening interview, Addison asks questions to find out ways he can
take advantage of previous learning, what skills to teach, and what order to
teach them. This is an example of what learning transfer concept?
Answer Proactive transfer
20. What determines the transfer of golf skill learning?
Answer Time, structural similarity, skills and goals, skill level
21. What conditions lead to greater learning transfer?
