Theories of Motor Learning
Theories of Motor Learning
- Adam's Two-Stage Theory
- Elements of Motor Behavior
- Perceptual trace: reference input into comparator.
- Memory trace - motor commands for a given movement.
- You may lack either trace.
- How learning proceeds:
- the VERBAL-MOTOR stage:
- subject is without perceptual trace.
- subject is unable by self to judge improvement.
- improvement depends upon KR.
- the MOTOR stage.
- the subject has a good perceptual trace.
- external feedback is practically unimportant.
- behavior can still improve even without external KR.
