Exam 14: Demonstration and Verbal Instructions

An experiment by Green and Flowers,which had participants learn a computer-based catching task,showed that explicit verbal instructions about the rules underlying the movement of the "ball" were better for learning the skill than instructions that established a discovery learning situation.

A procedure that some researchers use to investigate the question of what an observer perceives when observing a demonstration is known as the:

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

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

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

Demonstration should be the preferred method of providing information about how to perform a motor skill.

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

Verbal cues said out loud while a person is learning or performing a skill can help:

The view of why modeling benefits skill learning that argues that the visual system is capable of automatically processing visual information and constraining the motor system to act accordingly is called the ________ view

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

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.

When learners are able to self-select when they receive a demonstration,they request demonstrations very infrequently.

A term that has been used to describe the type of learning involved when a visual model is used to demonstrate a skill is ________ learning.

Research has shown that beginners who observe other beginners practicing a skill will perform at a higher level when they begin to perform the skill than the beginners they observed.

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

Verbal cues seem to work because they:

The point-light technique is a procedure that researchers have used to support the hypothesis that observers of skilled demonstrations can detect invariant relationships in coordinated movement.
