  1. 3.2 Learning curves and plateaus What is a Learning Curve? What is a Learning Plateau? how can itbe overcome?

  2. Learning Curve • Stage 1- Performer is at cognitive phase trying to develop subroutines, attempts will seem uncoordinated with little success • Stage 2- Rapid increase in performance as learner begins to master the task. Performance is more fluid and executed with enthusiasm • Stage 3- Performer hits a plateau with little or no improvement. May have reached limit of ability or become bored with task • Stage 4- Reduction in level of performance, possibly due to fatigue/injury or a loss of motivation (Drive reduction) Success Time 3 4 2 1

  3. Why do Learning Plateaus occur? • Not physically ready to improve • Lacks ability to develop current skills • Earlier incorrect learning • Fatigue • Moving from a simple skill to a complex skill • Boredom • Lack of motivation to improve • Goals set too high • Poor coaching/teaching

  4. How do you overcome a learning Plateau? • Ensure the performer is physically ready • Reset the goal to ensure it is achievable • Shorter practice/ Distributed practice avoiding boredom • Break down skill into component parts if possible • Allow time for mental rehearsal • Generate motivation using external rewards • Ensure accurate feedback is being regularly received • Make practice enjoyable
