What situation justifies substituting mental practice for physical practice?
(Correct) - ✅ When students cannot physically practice

and head still during a putt

learned interfered with the ability to recover the original swing
,What is the influence of a previous skill on the current skill to be learned
regardless of whether the influence is positive or negative? (Correct) - ✅
Proactive transfer
What determines the transfer of golf skill learning? (Correct) - ✅ The time
between original learning and transfer with the structural similarity of skills and
conditions
What conditions learn to greater learning transfer? (Correct) - ✅ If the student
believes the skills, conditions, and goals in the learning situations are similar
What term is used to describe transferring a learned skill of a 20-foot chip on a
practice green to a 50-foot chip on the same practice green? (Correct) - ✅
Response generalization
What term is used to describe learning the skill of putting on a practice green and
effectively transferring to various greens on the golf course? (Correct) - ✅
Stimulus generalization
What type of transfer likely occurs when applying the skill of a 20-chip leaned in a
practice situation calling for a 20-foot chip in a club championship tournament?
(Correct) - ✅ Slightly positive: conditions are dissimilar but skills are the same
A student and his coach have been practicing high pitch shots from tight lies that
he expects to find on the golf course for an upcoming tournament. What best
, describes the learning transfer concept in this situation? (Correct) - ✅ Similarity
of stimulus conditions
How is the 'transfer effect' most likely to influence a situation where a player with
an over-the-top down swing is being taught to drop the club below the shaft
plane? (Correct) - ✅ Negative: conditions and skills are similar but differ in
critical ways
A relatively new golfer has taken a series of lessons beginning with putting, then

Learning was retained and positively transferred between lessons

(Correct) - ✅ Simulating practice at a level of difficulty that is similar to actual
playing conditions
What is an example of a pre-swing adjustment? (Correct) - ✅ Grip pressure,
posture, head or arm position, ball position

learn and implement than others? Yes or no? (Correct) - ✅ Yes
