Principles of Motor Learning in Ecological Dynamics A comment on Functions of Learning and the Acquisition of Motor Skills (With Reference to Sport)

Abstract

This paper provides a commentary on the contribution by Dr Chow who questioned whether the functions of learning are general across all categories of tasks or whether there are some task-particular aspects to the functions of learning in relation to task type. Specifically, they queried whether principles and practice for the acquisition of sport skills are different than what they are for musical, industrial, military and human factors skills. In this commentary we argue that ecological dynamics contains general principles of motor learning that can be instantiated in specific performance contexts to underpin learning design. In this proposal, we highlight the importance of conducting skill acquisition research in sport, rather than relying on empirical outcomes of research from a variety of different performance contexts. Here we discuss how task constraints of different performance contexts (sport, industry, military, music) provide different specific information sources that individuals use to couple their actions when performing and acquiring skills. We conclude by suggesting that his relationship between performance task constraints and learning processes might help explain the traditional emphasis on performance curves and performance outcomes to infer motor learning.

A Design Space of Sports Interaction Technology

“…Our work should be consistent with instruction theory, pedagogy and motor learning theory 25 and general exercise and training principles (Brink et al, 2010;Dijkhuis et al, 2017;Borghuis et al, 2008), including various approaches to motor learning discussed below. 25 Jacobs and Michaels (2007), Jacobs et al (2012), Vilar et al (2012), Stolz and Pill (2014), Travassos et al (2012, Davids et al (2012bDavids et al ( , 2012aDavids et al ( , 2013Davids et al ( , 2015, Headrick et al (2015), Serra-Olivares et al (2015), Brymer and Renshaw (2010), Renshaw et al (2009Renshaw et al ( , 2019Renshaw et al ( , 2010Renshaw et al ( , 2016, Correia et al (2019), Chow et al (2007Chow et al ( , 2011, Carvalho et al (2013), Araújo et al (2006Araújo et al ( , 2016.…”

Validación De Un Instrumento Sobre Conocimiento Táctico-Ofensivo Para Jugadores Con Discapacidad Intelectual

“…Como se puede apreciar en la tabla 1, se muestran otros estudios realizados hasta la fecha sobre la toma de decisiones en el deporte del baloncesto y del tenis de mesa pero centrados en el análisis del plano procedimental de la acción, promovido también por la gran influencia actual del paradigma ecológico (Araújo & Davids, 2011;Kelso, 2012), basando los estudios en las formas de adaptación de los jugadores en función de las situaciones de juego evaluadas (Davids, Renshaw, Pinder, Araújo, & Vilar, 2012).…”

Alterações na cinemática angular do movimento básico de Hidroginástica “Balanço Lateral” induzidas pelo incremento do ritmo musical

“…Um número muito reduzido dedicou-se ao estudo de adaptações de índole fisiológica (p.e. Barbosa, Sousa, et al, 2010;Goncalves, Figueiredo, Paulo Vilas-Boas, Fernandes, & Soares, 2012). No campo da biomecânica as intervenções focaram-se no comportamento cinemático de movimentos como o caminhar (Barela, Stolf, & Duarte, 2006), a corrida estacionária (Alberton et al, 2011), os chutos (Oliveira et al, 2010) ou saltos (Costa et al, 2011).…”
