is a set of processes motor learning
associated with
practice or
experience leading
to a relatively
permanent change
in the capability for
skilled
performance.
1. learning is set of processes (we don't
fully understand the processes, but do
4 Features of Motor know that they are powerful)
Learning 2. motor learning is not directly observable
3. learning occurs as a direct result of practice or
experience
4. change in performance must be relatively
permanent
we don't fully processes occur in the CNS

understand the
features of motor
learning because
Learning can be positive or negative
negative learning = bad habit
Measurement of Motor Performance Curves
Learning
performance plotted Performance Curves
as a function of
practice
on a performance performance
curve the y axis is

a limitation on the ceiling effect

people at the
highest score)
a limitation on the floor effect
lowest score possible
(pile up of people
at the lowest
score)
interpreting a ceiling this scoring system imposes a limit.

effect performance does not mean the players stoped
curve ( basketball improving. They might still be
lay-up test) improving.
A practice schedule massed practice
in which the
duration of rest
between practice
trials is relatively
short. (do not get
much rest)
A practice schedule distributed practice
in which the
duration of rest
between practice
trials is relatively
long. (has more
rest)
the effect of massed and distributed
practice on motor performance and
sample motor learning the task used is novel
learning experiment because it has to be something they never
massed vs. learned
distributed
practice massed =16trials - 30sec and then 5 sec rest
distributed =16 trials - 30 sec and then 30 sec rest
