Front 1

Learning

Back 1

Takes place within the learner and can be defined as the acquisition of skills or information that changes a person's behavior, attitudes, insights, or perceptions.

Front 2

Motor Learning

Back 2

The acquisition of motor skills. "A set of processes associated with practice or experience leading to relatively permanent changes in the capability for responding."

Front 3

Procedural Learning

Back 3

Involves mastering movements or techniques. Procedures are the process and steps of how movements are performed.

Front 4

Declarative learning

Back 4

depends more on memory and other analytic skills and refers to the descriptive sequencing of events

Front 5

Extrinsic feedback

Back 5

provide a contrived environment so that the client can experience success at the task.

Front 6

intrinsic feedback

Back 6

self-correct

Front 7

generalization

Back 7

retention of skills and using them in other situational contexts.

Front 8

blocked (mass) practice

Back 8

involves repeated performance of the same motor skill. Performance improves faster but does not generalize to other settings.

Front 9

skill acquisition stage

Back 9

client understands the idea of the movement but has not learned it

Front 10

skill refinement stage

Back 10

client demonstrates improved performance, fewer and less significant errors, and increased consistency and efficiency of the movement.

Front 11

distributed practice schedule

Back 11

includes delays (or breaks) between sessions

Front 12

skill retention stage

Back 12

client can perform movement and achieve functional goals.

Front 13

random practice schedule

Back 13

most effective. empowers clients to practice at their own pace. objective is to retain the skill and transfer that skill to different settings.

Front 14

whole learning

Back 14

simple tasks are usually learned best. the client practices the entire task at one time.

Front 15

progressive-part learning

Back 15

teaching tasks in steps

Front 16

pure-part learning

Back 16

part is learned alone

Front 17

whole-to-part-to-whole learning

Back 17

learning a part in the context of the whole

Front 18

occupation

Back 18

activities deemed meaningful to the client in terms of desired occupations in desired context.

Front 19

contrived activities

Back 19

used in clinical settings when replicating the exact occupation.

Front 20

preparatory activities

Back 20

activities that help the client perform the specific components of the motor tasks. these are furthest from the occupation.

Front 21

transfer

Back 21

enables an individual to perform similar tasks in a new context by drawing on past experience. indicates not only that the skill was performed in a single situation but also has been acquired and retained.

Front 22

summary feedback

Back 22

may be given at the end of a series of trials rather than after each attempt.

Front 23

reinforcement

Back 23

the teacher gives positive and honest ________? observes and analyzes their behaviors to evaluate the outcome of learning. moves the learner toward independence and to successful intervention outcomes.
