Learning and Performance Learning can be defined as... “... a change in the capability of a person to perform a skill that must be inferred from a relatively permanent improvement in performance as a result of practice

  • r experience” (Magill, 2010)

Thing to consider... Is learning different from performance?

Differences between Learning and Performance Learning

  • Inferred from performance
  • Relatively permanent
  • Due to practice
  • Not influenced by performance

variables Performance

  • Observable behaviour
  • Temporary
  • May not be due to practice
  • May be influenced by performance

variables

Gentile‟s (1972) Two Stage Model of Motor Skill Learning

Image by minwoo

Initial Stage of Learning 1 - Acquire a Movement Coordination Pattern 2 - Discriminate between regulatory and non-regulatory conditions Later Stages of Learning 1 - Ability to adapt the movement pattern to specific performance situation 2 - Increase consistency 3 – Perform the skill with an economy of effort

Applied Considerations of Gentile‟s (1972) Two Stage Model

Image by minwoo

During the Initial Stage

  • Learner should focus on achieving the action goal
  • Use practices that help identify regulatory characteristics

During the Later Stages Closed Skills

  • Requires fixation
  • Must refine movement

learnt in initial stage

  • Make practices similar as

possible to real life Open Skills

  • Requires diversification
  • Must learn to adapt

movements to open play

  • Vary the controllable

regulatory conditions Magill, 2010 Observable Indicators of Improved Skill Process Measures

  • Relates to the quality of the

actions executed

  • Skilled coaches will observe

movements against the target behaviour

  • Allows more detailed feedback

Outcome Measures

  • Relates to a measurable result

from the individuals performance

  • Measures of time, distance,

frequency, accuracy and consistency

Observable Products of Learning Knowledge of Concepts

  • Learner‟s improve understanding
  • f the rules, strategies and finer

points of the activity

  • Performers assess task

demands, determine appropriate actions and effectively analyse. Control and Co-ordination

  • Changes in control/coordination

make movements look less stiff

  • Skilled performers demonstrate

more efficient control of movement

  • Southard & Higgins (1987)

Muscles Used

  • Changes in patterns of muscle

activity

  • Contraction occurs at more

appropriate times.(Moore & Marteniuk, 1986).

Observable Products of Learning Attention

  • Attentional proficiency is an

important attribute (Abernathy, 1993)

  • More efficient and effective

search strategies Movement Efficiency

  • Energy costs diminish (Sparrow

& Irizarry-Lopez, 1987)

  • Coordination, control and

patterns of muscle activity improve

  • Less fatigued

Error Detection and Correction

  • More adapt in recognising and

correcting errors (Lui & Wrisberg, 1997)

  • Pay more attention to relevant

feedback information

Evaluation

  • Skills can be classified in a number of different ways based on the

key characteristics of the skill.

  • Understanding the ways in which humans process information is key

to achieving an understanding of how skills are learnt.

  • Models of learning can help the sports coach identify ways in which

to modify practice sessions so to promote effective learning.

  • Learning is not the same thing as performance. We cannot see
  • learning. We can however see performance and infer learning from

this.

  • There are a number of key observable signs of skill learning.

Coaches should be aware of these to assess the rate at which a skill is being learnt.
