Classification of motor skills Methods of manipulating skills practice Part, Whole Part Whole, Progressive Classification of abilities

The development of motor skills and the use of practice methods. • Phases/stages of movement skill learning. Fitts and Posner. Cognitive etc • Types of guidance. Visual, verbal etc • Types of practice. Massed, Distributed, Fixed and Varied • Mental practice and mental rehearsal

Information processing during the performance of skills • • Welford and Whiting’s models Serial and parallel processing Memory Strategies to improve retention and retrieval. • Reaction time • Psychological Refractory Period

Motor control of skills • Motor programmes • Open and Closed loop control • Feedback. Positive, Negative, Extrinsic, Intrinsic, Terminal, Concurrent. KP and KR • Schema Theory

Learning skills in physical activity • • Motivation and Arousal Drive Theory Inverted U theory Catastrophe theory

Theories relating to the learning of movement skills • • • Operant conditioning. S-R (Skinner) Cognitive theory of learning (Gestalt) Observational learning (Bandura) Reinforcement Thorndike’s law

Transfer of learning • Optimising the effects of positive transfer • Varied practice
