Description

The same question is already POSTED on here from a previous student. However I need a different subject, scenario, etc. Would like something in Weightlifting/Olympic Lifting but will go as basic as needed (throwing a ball, kicking a ball, learning to squat, hit a ball, ANYTHING)



Information Processing Model

Adapted from………… Atkinson, R.C.; Shiffrin, R.M. (1968). "Chapter: Human memory: A proposed system and its control processes". In Spence,
K.W.; Spence, J.T. The psychology of learning and motivation. 2. New York: Academic Press. pp. 89–195.

Assignment 1: Diagram a motor skill using the above information processing model.

  • Choose and describe a hypothetical athlete/individual and a motor skill you would like to teach
  • Explain whether this skill is closed vs open, discrete, serial or continuous
  • Explain the individual’s ability and all situational/environmental issues
  • Explain issues of anticipation and possible arousal associated with learning and performing the skill
  • Find and summarize one peer reviewed journal article (one-page review + APA reference) that supports your choice of skill, teaching method, concern, need from an information processing related position. This article is in addition the the required 6 articles for your reference list. You must identify this article in your paper as your summarized peer reviewed article.
  • Remember, additional APA in-text documentation and referencing are required to support your analysis (review irubric)

Now the Diagram……………….Create a detailed outline of your skill with the following headings and explanations:

Display:

Identify all key information that typically confronts the learner. This will include both, important teaching information, and also possible irrelevant personal and environmental information.

Sensory Register:

Explain what information is attended to (registered), why?

Selective Filter:

Explain what information from the display is retained and what information is not attended to

Encoding:

Explain what information remains in attention and memory and why

Short-term memory:

Explain how you will help the athlete move the key information into short-term memory and analyze, interpret, integrate, create a schema for future selection

Choice Delay:

Explain:

  • What is meant by choice delay, why it happens and why this issue is important
  • Response execution of long-term memory: Explain this process, how it happens, how it is improved, why it might not happen consistently.

The length of this assignment should be 5 pages plus Title and reference page.

Motor Skill Development
Motor skills are abilities that are part of everyday life and are divided into two broad
categories: gross motor skills using large muscles and fine motor skills using smaller muscle
groups. The development of both forms of motor skills is essential to athletic training, however
training a specific motor skill often takes time and significant practice. The objective of motor skill
training, therefore, is to optimize performance, precision, and success over a period of time while
concurrently reducing the energy required to perform that skill (Spence & Spence, 1967).
A sport that utilizes a wide range of motor skills is Olympic lifting. The hypothetical
individual who I would teach these motor skills to is an 18 year old amateur athlete who wants to
begin learning Olympic lifting techniques as part of a complete training program. Therefore, for
this particular individual, there is some background athleticism and physical awareness, however
the specific movements involved in Olympic lifting have not been practiced before. Evidence
supports the idea that motor skill improvement requires both general activity and specific targeted
activities, so this individual would be encouraged to pursue other athletic endeavors while
additionally working on Olympic lifting-specific motor skills (Alesi et al., 2015).
The most important aspect of Olympic lifting is grip strength as a strong connection to the
bar is vital for proper performance. Therefore, the most important motor skill to develop for this
activity is the hook grip. This form of holding the bar is a pronated grip where the palms face the
athlete. It is important, however, to properly develop this skill to hold the bar correctly. The thumb
needs to be wrapped over the bar with the fingers laid over the thumb to ensure a tight grip. A
proper balance between support and pressure must be created, though, to avoid pus...
