What is the definition of learning in sport?

A relatively permanent change in ability due to practice.

What is performance in sport?

A temporary execution of a skill that can vary day-to-day.

What are the three stages of learning?

Cognitive, Associative, Autonomous.

What characterizes the Cognitive stage of learning?

Beginner level with lots of mistakes needing demonstrations and feedback.

What happens in the Associative stage of learning?

Fewer errors; movement becomes smoother and more consistent.

What defines the Autonomous stage of learning?

Skill execution becomes automatic with little conscious thought.

What does a positive acceleration learning curve indicate?

Slow initial improvement followed by fast improvement.

What factors can affect the rate of learning?

Motivation, quality of coaching, task complexity, feedback quality, physical fitness, and prior experience.

What is positive transfer in skill learning?

One skill helps another skill improve.

Give an example of negative transfer.

A badminton wrist flick interfering with a tennis forehand.

What does the Information Processing model consist of?

Input → Decision making → Output → Feedback.

What is the difference between Short-Term Memory (STM) and Long-Term Memory (LTM) in sports?

STM lasts about 30 seconds with 5-9 items; LTM has unlimited capacity and long duration.

What is reaction time?

Time from stimulus to the start of movement.

What is the Psychological Refractory Period (PRP)?

A delay in responding to a second stimulus when it closely follows the first, due to bottleneck processing.

How does correct anticipation affect performance?

It leads to faster responses as the movement can be pre-programmed.

What are the two types of anticipation?

Spatial (where) and Temporal (when).

What is the difference between gross and fine skills?

Gross skills involve large muscle groups like a rugby tackle; fine skills involve small muscle groups like a darts throw.

What is fixed practice used for?

To practice closed skills in the same environment.

What are the advantages of distributed practice?

More rest, avoids fatigue, and allows time for reflection.

What is intrinsic feedback?

Feedback received from one's own senses or muscles.

How can signal detection be improved?

Through experience, training, selective attention, cue intensity, and time.

What is selective attention in sports?

The ability to focus on relevant cues while ignoring distractions.

What are the key parts of the Welford model of information processing?

Input → Perception → Decision making → STM ↔ LTM → Output → Feedback.
