Exam 14: Demonstration and Verbal Instructions

Observation of another beginner practicing a skill seems to work best when the observer can hear the ________ given by the instructor.

Research investigating the influence of the frequency of demonstrating a skill has shown that:

Verbal cues seem to work because they:

Learners can acquire a new pattern of relative motions when a demonstration contains:

Verbal instructions that direct the performer's attention to the intended movement outcomes will lead to better learning and performance than instructions that direct attention to the movements used to perform the skill.

The tendency to perform movements you are intentionally trying to avoid are referred to as:

Research has shown that to achieve the best learning of skills that require both speed and accuracy, the initial verbal instructions should emphasize:

From a perception point of view, the benefit of observing a skilled demonstration is that the visual system picks up information about the ________ characteristics of the skill.

Which of the following attention-related concepts is essential to apply when giving verbal instructions about how to perform a motor skill?

Learning the following skills will benefit more from viewing a skilled demonstration than from verbal instructions:

Observing skilled demonstrations is least likely to be better than verbal instructions for the learning of skills for which new ________ characteristics are learned.

The role that implicit learning can play in the learning of open motor skills has been shown by research which has demonstrated the learning of environmental context ________ conditions without the learner being consciously aware of the characteristics of those conditions.

According to Masters, learners are more likely to perform well when put under pressure if they are encouraged to learn:

A beginner can benefit from observing another beginner practice a skill especially when the observer can:

The ________ hypothesis is the most likely explanation for the research finding that verbal instructions that direct attention to specific movements of a skill hinder learning.

Which of the following describes the results of research on the use of verbal instructions that direct attention to specific movement components of a skill? The instructions:

The terms modeling and observational learning often are used interchangeably with the term demonstration when they refer to the learning of motor skills.

To help beginning dancers learn the rhythmic structure of a dance routine, either auditory or visual demonstration will be similarly effective for learning.

The view that modeling benefits skill learning because the model helps the learner develop an accessible representation in memory that will serve as a guide for performing the skill is known as the:

Research that has compared the use of visual and auditory models on learning to move at a criterion speed has shown that the:
