A relatively new golfer has taken a series of golf lessons beginning with putting,
then chipping, then pitching, and most recently full swing with his irons. He has
been able to transfer the relationship of impact from previous lessons to his full
swing. Why has this student succeeded in his golf learning?
Learning was retained and positively transferred between lessons
What is the cognitive rehearsal of a physical activity in the absence of any
observable muscular movement?
Mental practice
What approach is recommended to optimize learning transfer of a golf skill?
Simulating practice at a level of difficulty that is similar to actual playing
conditions (transfer skill at similar level in transfer learning)
,A teacher determines that a student better relates to internal motor imagery.
What technique would be most successful for this student?
Using internal imagery. Player imagines what they see and feel when they
execute the swing from the performer's perspective
What is a conscious experience in which a player uses all her senses to create or
recreate the execution of a motor skill in the player's mind?
Motor imagery
A student relates primarily to which type of imagery if she is unable to learn from
a face-on video of her swing?
Internal imagery
A student relates primarily to which type of imagery if she is able to learn from a
face-on video of her swing?
External imagery
Does cognitively rehearsing procedural skills at a fast rate before physically
performing them interfere with the benefits of mental practice?
No - Rehearse the skills at the same speed as performing the skill
,What is the definition of modeling when used for teaching and coaching?
The use of a demonstration as a means of conveying information about how to
perform a motor skill. (Observational learning, used in demonstration)
When is mental practice and motor imagery most effective?
When used in conjunction with physical practice
What is the best way for beginners to improve their shot performance?
Combine mental and physical practice
What makes 'cognitive hypothesis' an effective learning tool?
Helps identify what to do and where to focus attention
Which condition enhances the benefits of mental practice?
Cognitive hypothesis
Based on research, at what speed should a skill be mentally rehearsed prior to
actual performance?
The same as actual performance (the same speed)
, What is an effective means of helping a beginner to use motor imagery to
improve performance?
Combine with physical performance
What situation justifies substituting mental practice for physical practice?
When the student cannot physically practice
According to research, what will optimize performance when combining mental
and physical practice?
Engage in mental practice before engaging in physical practice.
What is an example of "Form Focus of Attention"?
Stance, ball position, posture (ex. keeping the body and head still during a putt)
What is an example of retroactive transfer?
New swing changes learned interfered with the ability to recover the original
swing
What is the influence of a previous skill on the current skill to be learned
regardless of whether the influence is positive or negative?
