what are the three phases of learning

acquistion, retention, and transfer

acqusition phase

occurs durig initial instruction and education along with practice; this phase is often characterized by numerous errors of performance as the learner develops strategies to successfully complete the task

retention phase

demonstrated during subsequent sessions, when the learner demonstrates recall or retention f the task in a similar situation

transfer phase

focuses on the generalization of skill that is seen when the learner is able to spontaneously perform the task in different environments

procedural learning

occurs for tasks that are typically performed automatically, such as many motor and perceptual skills; developed through repeated practice in a variety of environmental settings

declarative learning

creates knowledge that can be cognitively recalled; the client being able to verbalize the steps while completing the task or if the client can repeat all the steps that go into completing the task

three instructional modes

visual instruction, somatosensory instruction, verbal instruction
