Cognitive Processes and Learner Strategies in the Acquisition of Motor Skills.

摘要

The cognitive processes and learner strategies associated with motor skill acquisition, retention, and transfer were identified and defined in relation to processing mechanisms. Methods which trainees may use to deploy strategies in a variety of skill situations were also described. Additionally, a preliminary task classification scheme was proposed as it relates to our conceptual model of motor behavior. The classification scheme will serve to facilitate the enumeration of learner strategies and their relation to categories of motor tasks, which, in turn, would improve task analysis and instructional procedures. Finally, several experiments were described that are currently being conducted to test the effects of learner strategies on motor behavior. (Author)
