hands on instruction ✔Correct Answer-direct instruction; characterized by the use of verbal
instructions, demonstrations, and provision of feedback; prescriptive
hands off instruction ✔Correct Answer-purposeful manipulation of key constraints;
emphasizes movement exploration
learner preparation ✔Correct Answer-capture learner's undivided attention before
introducing the skill; introduction of the skill
undivided attention ✔Correct Answer-location should be free of distractions; learner should
be able to see/hear clearly; equipment should be placed some distance from the learning area
role of task instructions ✔Correct Answer-introduce a learner to a new skill; skill refinement
6 consideration of verbal instructions ✔Correct Answer-role of task instructions; amount of
information; precise language; internal vs external focus; verbal cues; checking for
understanding
precise language ✔Correct Answer-use specific, developmentally appropriate terminology to
increase likelihood of instructions being clearly understood; use of analogies; familiar cues
internal focus ✔Correct Answer-learners focus conscious attention on their own body
movements; may have a negative impact on acquiring/refining new skills
ex. focus on wrist extension
external focus ✔Correct Answer-learners focus attention on the effects of their actions or on
the environment; seems to be more effective; outcome of movement
ex. focus on the hoop
verbal cue ✔Correct Answer-a word or concise phrase that focuses the learner's attention or
prompts a movement or movement sequence; be concise; limit the number of words; use the
same ones repeatedly
ex. keep your eye on the ball
check for understanding ✔Correct Answer-ask them to restate the skill's elements;
reiterating/reinforcing; explaining in their own words
demonstrations ✔Correct Answer-the preferred instructional method; modeling or
observational learning
, mirror neurons ✔Correct Answer-the neural mechanism through which observational
learning occurs; nerve cells that fire when: we perform an action and we watch someone else
perform the same action
social cognitive theory ✔Correct Answer-learner transforms visual information into a symbolic
cognitive memory representation; accomplished by observing others' behaviors; serves to guide
subsequent movements; provides frame of reference for error detection and correction
dynamic interpretation of modeling ✔Correct Answer-coordination and timing of limbs; what
is commonly observed; looking at segments of body that allows you to create the movement
cognitively
coordination ✔Correct Answer-technique (picked up by novices)
control ✔Correct Answer-force/speed of movement
manual guidance ✔Correct Answer-practitioner or device moves the learner through a
desired range of motion
part practice ✔Correct Answer-involves breaking a skill into smaller units; simplifies the skill;
learners experience early success; targets skill refinement
task complexity ✔Correct Answer-refers to the cognitive demands of the task; number of task
components/motor actions; tasks with a large number of components have high cognitive
complexity ex. dance routine
task organization ✔Correct Answer-refers to how the different elements of the task are
related; "how much does the performance of each part of the skill depend on the component
that precedes it"
part practice ✔Correct Answer-tasks with low organization and high complexity benefit most
from this
whole practice ✔Correct Answer-tasks with high organization and low complexity benefit
most from this
part-whole method ✔Correct Answer-practice elements separately then integrate elements
together
progressive-part method ✔Correct Answer-practice and refine two skill components
separately, combine both elements and reach mastery; third component introduced and
practiced in isolation, integrate with other two and so on
