Performance

Performance Learning
2
Performance

• Observable behavior
• Execution of specific skill
  at specific time in
  specific situation

3
Motor Learning

• Relatively permanent change in motor behavior
• Inferred from repeated observations of
  performance
• Promoted through
  practice or experience

4
Learning Charactersitics

• Improvement
• Consistency
• Persists
• Adaptability

You Try?

• Flip card off flat surface
• Plot performance
• Points plotted
• 0 miss completely
• 1 touch card, no catch
• 2 catch on side
• 3 catch on opposite corner
• 4 catch on opposite end

8
What do you think?

• Do performance curves reveal that learning is
  occurring?
• Disadvantages of performance curves?
• Does learning occur even after performance
  plateaus?

9
Retention Tests

• Method to infer if learning persists
• Given after interval of time when skill not
  practiced

10
Transfer Tests

• Measures ability to generalize skill learning
• Intratask Test
• Second set of performance conditions

11
Transfer Tests

• Measures ability to generalize skill learning
• Intertask Test
• Second movement skill or variation

12
Dynamics of Action

• Consistency in coordination
• How measured?
