  1. Chapter 1 Motor behavior Motor control Motor development Motor learning

  2. Definition • Motor learning • Relatively permanent change • In the capability to produce skilled movement • Associated with practice • Note that we can’t see learning and have to study it indirectly by studying performance/behavior

  3. Origins of field • Psychology • Thorndike’s law of effect • Behavior that is followed by positive feedback tends to be repeated, behavior followed by negative feedback tends to be avoided • US Army Air Force – Psychomotor testing program – Paul Fitts • Franklin Henry

  4. Concepts • Skill • Task perspective • Level of proficiency perspective

  5. Classification schemes • Discrete/serial/continuous • Motor/cognitive • Fine/gross • Open/closed • Gentile’s Taxonomy

  6. Classification schemes Gentile’s 2D Taxonomy • First dimension • Action • Object manipulation • Body transport

  7. Classification schemes Gentile’s 2D Taxonomy • Second dimension • Environment • Regulatory variability • Environment stationary (closed) or in motion (open) • Context variability (inter-trial variability) • Action is same from one trial to the next or is different from one trial to the next

  8. Stages of learning • Fitts and Posner • Cognitive (verbal) • Associative (motor) • Autonomous

  9. Chapter 1 Homework • Choose a motor skill • Develop 2 teaching progressions/drills that lead to the motor skill • Classify each progressions according to the taxonomy and state how each increases the complexity (what is added in each step)
