Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What are Fitts and Posner's three stages of learning?
Model answer
The three stages are cognitive, associative and autonomous.
- 2
What characterises the cognitive stage?
Model answer
The learner is trying to understand the skill and form a mental picture. Movements are jerky, with many errors.
- 3
What characterises the associative stage?
Model answer
The learner practises and refines the skill. Errors fall and movements become smoother.
- 4
What characterises the autonomous stage?
Model answer
The skill is performed automatically with little conscious thought. The performer can attend to tactics.
- 5
Which guidance suits the cognitive stage?
Model answer
Visual and manual or mechanical guidance suit the cognitive stage. The learner needs a clear picture and support.
- 6
Which guidance suits the autonomous stage?
Model answer
Detailed verbal guidance suits the autonomous stage. The performer can understand fine technical points.
