Ch 7. Changes in Perception and cognition

Expert-novice comparisons

Allows us to determine the perceptual changes that occur with motor learning

visual occlusion

certain aspects of the performance are blocked off from the observer to determine which aspects of the movement provide the most meaningful information

eye movement recordings

eye movements are recorded while observing performance to determine where attention is directed

pattern recognition and memory recall

tests of the ability to recall motor patterns; experts are generally better than novices because they are able to chunk information into meaningful groups of information
