Stages of Motor Learning
Stage 4 Answer: During adolescence, children continue to develop general and specific
motor skills and master specialized movements. At this point, factors including practice,
motivation, and talent begin to affect the level of further development.
Practice Answer: Frequent, structured practice of motor skills enhances skill
development in children.
Positive Feedback Answer: When a skill is learned it goes into short term memory and
receives positive feedback. The skill may eventually go into their long-term memory,
creating memory that is more permanent. Encourage the performer and helps in making
the performer remember every aspect of the performance.
Intrinsic Feedback Answer: Information received by the athlete as a direct result of
producing a movement through the kinesthetic senses- e.g. feeling from muscles, joints,
and balance.
Extrinsic Feedback Answer: Information not inherent in the movement itself but which
improves intrinsic feedback (this is also known as augmented feedback).
_____ feedback enables the athlete to establish a kinesthetic reference for the correct
movement. Answer: Extrinsic
