Augmented Feedback
answer
Chapter 15
question
• Sensory information that is naturally available when performing a skill What are some sources of task-intrinsic feedback?
answer
Task-intrinsic feedback
question
• Performance related information that is added to task-intrinsic feedback Typically comes from a source external to the person performing the skill
answer
Augmented feedback
question
- Knowledge of Results ( KR) - Knowledge of Performance ( KP)
answer
Two types of augmented feedback:
question
• Externally presented information about the outcome of performing a skill or about achieving the goal of the performance
answer
Knowledge of Results (KR)
question
• Externally presented information about movement characteristics that led to the performance outcome
answer
Knowledge of Performance (KP)
question
• Facilitates achievement of the action goal of the skill • Motivates the learner to continue striving toward a goal.
answer
The roles of augmented feedback in skill acquisition Two roles in skill learning process
question

question
- Traditional view - Current view
answer
Frequency of presenting augmented feedback:
question
Augmented feedback for every trial (100% frequency) is best for learning
answer
Traditional view
question
less than 100% frequency is best for learning
answer
Current view
question
• Augmented feedback on every trial guides learner to successful performance but results in poor learning due to acquiring a dependency on augmented feedback which leads to poor performance of the skill without it.
answer
Theoretical basis for current view: Guidance Hypothesis
question
Current view that reduced frequency is best for learning is based on research that has investigated several techniques that reduce frequency
answer
Techniques that Reduce augmented feedback frequency:
question
• Performance based bandwidths • Performer selected frequency • Summary and averaged augmented feedback
answer
Current view that reduced frequency is best for learning is based on research that has investigated several techniques that reduce frequency
question
Practice variability and specificity
answer
Chapter 16
question
1. Refers to the variety of movement and context characteristics the learner experiences while practicing a skill
answer
Practice Variability
question
skill variations physical context situation
answer
2. Movement and context characteristics that can be varied in practice:
question
that will be required in "test" conditions
answer
Skill variations
question
in which the skill is performed
answer
physical context
question
in which the skill occurs
answer
Situation
question
• Step 1: Assess characteristics of the physical context and skill characteristics of that performance • Step 2: vary these characteristics according to the type of skill being learned
answer
How to implement practice variability
question
• Answer can be determined from applying the learning phenomenon known as the contextual interference effect
answer
• Is there a best way to organize practice variability? See 3 option in Figure 16.2
question
The memory and performance disruption that results from performing variations of a skill within the context of practice
answer
Contextual interference can thiệp theo ngữ cảnh 1. Definition
question
• Originally described by Battig (1979) • Various amounts of contextual interference can occur during practice depending on the scheduling of the practice variability - see Figure 16.3
answer
1. Definition: The memory and performance disruption that results from performing variations of a skill within the context of practice
question
when practice schedules involve higher rather than lower amounts of contextual interference.
answer
2. The "contextual interference effect" occurs
question
• Learner overestimate their learning during practice • Performance during practice misleads them to judge they are not learning more than they actually are - see experiment by Simon & Bjork (2001)
answer
Contextual interference and judgments about learning A typical characteristic of blocked practice schedules:
question
1. Research shows much support for the contextual interference effect but also shows that it does not apply to all motor skill learning situations 2. Characteristics related to the limits of the effect:
answer
Limits of the Contextual interference effect:
question
• Motor skill characteristics • Learner characteristics
answer
2. Characteristics related to the limits of the effect:
question
• Elaboration hypothesis • Action plan reconstruction hypothesis
answer
Why does the contextual interference effect occur? Two predominant hypotheses:
question
The effect is related to the elaboration of the memory representation of the skill variations that a learner is practicing( shea & morgan 1979)
answer
• Elaboration hypothesis:
question
high amounts of contextual interference benefit learning because the interference requires a person to reconstruct an action plan on subsequent practice trials for each skill variation ( Lee & Magill.1985)
answer
• Action plan reconstruction hypothesis
question
• Higher levels of contextual interference involves greater attention demands during practice • People who practice according to a blocked schedule tend to overestimate how well they are learning during practice.
answer
Regardless of which hypothesis, two important characteristics have been demonstrated
question
The amount and distribution of practice
answer
Chapter 17
question
Continuation of practice beyond the amount needed to achieve a certain performance criterion
answer
• Overlearning:
question
• Research has shown that overlearning can have a positive influence on retention performance for motor learning skills
answer
Research literature review by Driskell et al.
question
•include a combination of cognitive and motor components and require performance of a series of relatively simple movements, e.g. typing from text • U.S army sponsored research found overlearning strategy (100% more trials) effective for long-term retention of assembling a rifle.
answer
Examples of overlearning strategy applied to types of motor skills: 1. Procedural skills
question
• Research has found point of diminishing returns for amount of extra practice 50% as effective as 100% or 200% increases from 0 to 50 but anything further no increase in performance = wasting time
answer
Examples of overlearning strategy applied to types of motor skills:. 2. Dynamic balance skills:
question
Research has shown situations in which learning deficits resulted from excessive practice, i.e. too much overlearning thâm hụt dẫn từ thực tế quá nhiều
answer
Overlearning strategy can lead to poor learning: See experiments by Shea & Kohl (1990. 1991); Travlos (1999)
question
• Extended practice of relatively simple skills resulted in learners not continuing to engage in appropriate amounts of cognitive effort ( Lee et al.1994) • Extended practice of the same relatively simple movement results in decreased capability to remember the movement as well as to transfer to a movement variation Indicates need for practice variability.
answer
2. What would account for these types of results?
question
What are some sources of task-intrinsic feedback?
answer
• Tactile • Proprioceptors • Auditory • Visual
question
• If you're throwing baseballs, and you have to throw one at 97mph, you need someone to tell you how close you are to 97.
answer
essential for skill learning
question
• If you're playing darts, and someone tells you that you missed the bullseye, you don't need someone to tell you because you can see it for yourself
answer
it may not be necessary for skill learning
question
• People who are learning to play golf have the coach tell them where to place their hands. This could reinforce what the participant's proprioceptors are telling his body
answer
can enhance skill learning beyond what is possible without augmented feedback
question
__________ on every trial guides the learner to successful performance that results in _____due to acquiring a ____ on augmented feedback which leads to poor performance of the skill without it
