1
Q

Absolute error

A

amount of error without regard to the sign of the score

2
Q

Algebraic error

A

amount of error with regard to the sign of the score (not very accurate)

3
Q

Variable error

A

standard deviation of the algebraic error

4
Q

Reaction time

A

time between the onset of a stimulus and the first overt response

5
Q

Kinematics

A

study of movement w/o regard to force or mass

6
Q

Kinematic variables

A

velocity, positional location in space, jerk/angle

7
Q

Kinetics

A

study of movement w/ regard to force and mass

8
Q

Kinetic variables

A

force, mass

9
Q

Retention test

A

retain information over a given period of time, if curve is maintained it is assumed the skill has been learned

10
Q

Transfer test

A

if curve is maintained as transfer occurs from one situation to another it is assumed the skill has been learned

11
Q

Negatively accelerated curve

A

large to small

12
Q

Positively accelerated curve

A

small to large

13
Q

S-shaped curve

A

low to high rapidly

14
Q

Asymptote

A

a leveling off in performance due to an internal limitation

15
Q

Ceiling effect

A

leveling off in performance due to external limitations

16
Q

Plateau

A

temporary leveling off in performance followed by additional improvement with practice

17
Q

Phantom plateau

A

is not really there if it happens to be there –> something is not right (factors coming into play need to be changed)

18
Q

Tapering, shaving, peaking

A

PERIODIZATION
long-term variation of the volume and intensity of training to prevent overtraining and promote optimal performance at the desired time

19
Q

Mental practice

A

cognitive rehearsal of a physical skill in the absence of overt physical practice

20
Q

Internal imagery

A

experience of expected sensations of the response

21
Q

External imagery

A

perspective of an observer as in watching a videotape

22
Q

Roles of mental practice

A
skill acquisition (rehabilitation; power training; strategy making)
aid in performance preparation
23
Q

Five Types of Imagery

A

motivational (specific, general mastery, general arousal)

cognitive (specific, general)

24
Q

Cognitive theory

A

when skill high in cognitive components, MP works

25
Q

Psychoneuromuscular theory

A

MP creates sub-threshold motor neuron firing that lays down a movement pattern

26
Q

Overlearning

A

practice beyond a performance criterion
