Motor Learning Quiz

The therapist passively moves the learner to allow for an increase in proprioceptive feedback.

• Modelling

• Manual Guidance

• Instructions or focus

• Feedback

The frequency of doing this provided by the clinician can be during, or after the task is completed. If this is repeatedly provided throughout a movement, it may hinder the ability of the learner to retain and successfully transfer the skill as they become passive participants whom reliant on this.

• Modelling

• Manual Guidance

• Instructions or focus

• Feedback

This can be beneficial due to social interaction, competition or increased motivation.

• Modelling

• Manual Guidance

• Instructions or focus

• Feedback

The practice sessions are more spaced out (hours or days) and longer rest periods are included in the schedule.

• Massed Practice

• Distributed Practice

• Constant Practice

• Variable Practice

A practice that is when the same task or task variation is repeated without interruption.

• Constant Practice

• Variable Practice

• Blocked Practice

• Random Practice

This practice tends to help with the acquisition of skills early.

• Constant Practice

• Random Practice

• Blocked Practice

• Variable Practice

In this phase, movement errors reduce due to being detected by internal feedback processes.

• Associate

• Autonomous

• Cognitive

• Practice

The focus in this phase is not on the skill, but rather other skills/ strategies/ unrelated topics.

• Associative

• Autonomous

• Cognitive

• Practice

The individual is able to reliably produce the result.

• Improvement

• Consistency

• Retention

• Transfer

The ability to perform a similar movement, within a different context in which it was initially learnt is tested.
