Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What are Fitts and Posner's three stages of learning?
Model answer
Fitts and Posner described the cognitive, associative and autonomous stages in 1967. Learners pass through them as they practise.
- 2
What happens in the cognitive stage of learning?
Model answer
The learner tries to understand the skill and makes many errors. Movements are slow, jerky and inconsistent.
- 3
How should a coach help a learner in the cognitive stage?
Model answer
The coach should give simple instructions, clear demonstrations and positive feedback. Too much information overwhelms the learner.
- 4
What happens in the associative stage of learning?
Model answer
The learner practises and refines the skill, and errors become fewer. Movements are smoother but not yet automatic.
- 5
How should a coach help a learner in the associative stage?
Model answer
The coach should give more detailed feedback and set practice that refines technique. The learner begins to use internal feel.
- 6
What happens in the autonomous stage of learning?
Model answer
The skill is performed automatically, consistently and with little conscious thought. The performer can concentrate on tactics.
