***This has to be original work with psychomotor psychology in mind as this in reference to the subject of performance. All findings within the study has to contain solid backing. No findings or backing can just be through reader. It has to have clear research findings. Also please review the attached rubric. Thank you*** Cognitive Effort and Skill AcquisitionThere are many factors that influence skill acquisition, learning, and practice such as observational learning, augmented feedback, practice schedules, and organization. Furthermore, much effort in motor production lacks cognition especially when a performer repeatedly executes a complex motor task (such as a golf swing on the driving range). The performer shifts from a planned execution of the skill to a more automatic process in which action requires little cognitive effort. This assignment will allow you to explore questions surrounding skill acquisition such as the consequence of practice that requires little cognitive effort, the importance of cognitive effort as a function in skill acquisition, and methods for manipulating practice or the learning environment to increase cognitive effort without overwhelming the learner.General Requirements:Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:Instructors will be using a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It is recommended that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in order to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.Directions:Write an essay (1,500-1,750 words) in which you will explore cognitive effort and skill acquisition. In your essay, include the following:A statement demonstrating the impact of cognitive effort on practice. An empirical examination of whether cognitive effort is important or necessary for motor skill acquisition.An empirical examination of whether cognitive effort is important or necessary for motor skill acquisition.A statement explaining how the learning environment could be manipulated to increase cognitive effort.

PurposeThis lab assignment provides you with an opportunity to review the processes that shape the earth and its resources. You will consider several geological hazards and explain how they could occur.DirectionsLabThe Plate Tectonics lab will be conducted using an interactive Earth Viewer activity (Links to an external site.) to explore the earth and the changes it has experienced. This interactive activity allows you to explore the science of Earth's deep history, from its formation 4.5 billion years ago to modern times.The interactive Earth Viewer dynamically shows how continents grow and shift as you scroll through billions of years. Additional layers let you explore changes in atmospheric composition, temperature, biodiversity, day length, and solar luminosity over geologic time.Download the Student Worksheet - Mass Extinctions (Links to an external site.) found on the right side of the screen and complete it. We converted it to a Word document for your convenience complete worksheet and turn in for grading, Plate Tectonics Lab Sheet.docx
