EXAM WITH QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 2026: Motor
Learning and Performance,
Exams of Nursing Graded A+
Certified Pass
Deliberate practice=play (T/F) - ANSWERS-False
4 things about deliberate practice - ANSWERS-1. Activities designed to improve
the current level of performance
2. Requires effort/concentration
3. Not inherently enjoyable
4. Planned by knowledgeable coach/instructor
How long does it take for expertise to develop? - ANSWERS-Approx 10
years/10000 hrs
Can performance be predicted from hours accumulated in deliberate practice
activities? - ANSWERS-YES
,Does deliberate practice activities increase in a "monotonic" fashion with age and
experience? - ANSWERS-Yes
Practice Organization (4 points) - ANSWERS-1. Frequent rests are good
2. Variation in experiences are great
3. Variation in order (also great)
4. Self-judgements of learning can be faulty, but self-directing practice can be
good!
What is massed practice? - ANSWERS-Practice periods are close together with
little or no rest in between
Practice time is usually higher than resting
What is distributed (spaced) practice? - ANSWERS-Practice periods run w/ longer
intervals of rest b/w periods
Time spent practicing is typically the same or less than rest
Does more or less rest in between practice improve performance? Why? -
ANSWERS-More rest, this is because less rest=more fatigue, which results in
poor performance
What are the 3 hypotheses as why massed practice is worse? - ANSWERS-
Fatigue hypothesis, Cognitive-effort hypothesis, memory consolidation hypothesis
, What is the fatigue hypothesis? (why massed practice is worse than spaced) -
ANSWERS-Fatigue=poor performance
What is the cognitive-effort hypothesis? (why massed practice is worse than
spaced) - ANSWERS-Doing the same thing over and over=boring/less effort
What is the memory consolidation hypothesis? (why massed practice is worse
than spaced) - ANSWERS-Resting periods do not help long-term memory storage
What is constant practice? - ANSWERS-Same move, same environment
What is variable practice? - ANSWERS-Variable movements, different
environments and speeds
Is variable or constant practice better for acquisition? Transfer/retention? -
ANSWERS-Constant for acquisition, variable for transfer/retention
Four types of information stored in STM after GMP is selected? - ANSWERS-A.
Initial conditions of the movement
B. Parameters that were assigned to the movement
C. Outcome feedback about the movement
D. Sensory Consequences of the movement
What is the recall schema? - ANSWERS-Relation between parameters and
movement outcomes
