Question 3

According to the response chain approach,when we have learned to produce a sequence of movements well

Accepted Answer

A) we can plan several steps in the sequence simultaneously 
B) sensory feedback from one movement serves as a stimulus for the next movement in the sequence 
C) we get better at the task by grouping the movements into chunks 
D) we may make errors of anticipation by starting one movement out of order

Question 5

Research on knowledge of performance (KP)has shown that in learning a complex motor skill,the best feedback

Accepted Answer
