| What are the 3 stages of learning? •Cognitive •Associative •Autonomous |
| Stages of learning - Cognitive -Performances are inconsistent -Frequent errors -Success is not guaranteed -Performing the skill requires all of the athletes attention, they are still thinking of and learning the movements -Rely on the coach for cues -This is a process of trial and error -Low success rate -Feedback from coaches (external) required to correct/improve performance Stages of learning - Associative -Practice phase -Performances are becoming more consistent as motor programs are being formed -Simpler parts of the skill now look fluent and are well learned, the more complex elements requires most of the spare attention -The athlete is starting to get a sense of internal 'kinaesthetic' feedback when they perform the skill well. --They are starting to detect and correct their own errors and success rate has risen to 5-7 out of 10 -Errors are no longer major -Longest stage of learning Stages of learning - Autonomous -Final stage of learning, performances have become consistent, fluid and aesthetically pleasing -The motor programs involved are well learned and stored in the long-term memory -There is now spare attention which can be focused on opponents and tactics -To retain the new skill at this level, it must be constantly practiced to reinforce the motor programs -High success rate -Movements are automatic -The athletes does not think about the technique anymore -If technique is poor or in-correct it is difficult to correct at this stage |
