Diagnosing Errors

Learning process

  • Provide learners with information regarding correctness of performance and provide refinement instructions
  • Practitioners must accurately analyze motor skills and figure out what to correct and how to correct it

Conducting an Observation

  • Identify purpose and key elements of the skill
    • Conduct a skill task analysis
  • Determine optimal viewing perspective
    • View from multiple perspectives; step back or up close?
  • Decide how many trials to observe for error diagnosis; multiple trials is preferred
  • Choose whether or not to videotape; practitioner anddocsity.com

Cause of errors

  • Constraints
  • Understanding the skill requirement
  • Poor selection and slow response prep
  • Incorrect response execution
  • Visual and proprioception problems

Errors Due to Constraints

  • Developmental level;technique may be due to maturation and level of ability
  • Equipment; equipment weight, size of equipment, use of equipment
  • Structure of the task or drill; practice drill doesn’t meet level of ability or maturation
  • Change in environment from closed to open
  • Fear

Practical Application

  • Based on the previous constraints, what kind of errors might you see from learners with whom you work/teach?

Comprehension Errors During

Skill Refinement

  • If learner doesn’t understand what the error is or how it is being created; videotape - Focus attention on sensory consequences; vision, proprioception - Engage learners performance evaluation;questions
  • If learner understands the error but is uncertain about how to correct it - Continue to demonstrate and provide feedbackdocsity.com

Errors in Selection

  • Must be able to differentiate between moving slowly and initiating movement slowly - Slow movement execution likely due to a problem with technique - Slow movement initiation likely a perceptual or decision-making problem; response preparation is hindered; slow RT

Corrections for Perceptual Errors

  • Teach what the critical cues are
  • Prompt learner to prepare response sooner
  • Directing learner’s attention to where in the environment the critical cues occur
  • Providing extensive practice opportunities in a variety of situations that contain common task relevant cues

Practical Application

  • What perceptual errors might you find in your work/teaching? - How do you correct these errors?

Corrections for Decision Making

Errors

  • Increase performer’s ability to identify and locate critical cues
  • Develop stronger cause and effect relationship between specific cues and the appropriate response
  • Teach how to systematically look for key performance characteristics when assessing a situation

Recall Errors

  • Difficulty remembering movements and strategies because of the passage of time between practice sessions
  • Unable to recall what to do in a given situation - Trace decay? Retrieval problem from LTM?

Errors in Neuromuscular

Coordination

  • Not enough practice time to establish the proper coordination; awkward, clumsy movements
  • Learner lacks underlying abilities; Look @ pp.13-
  • Learner lacks prerequisite skills
  • Negative transfer;previous skill interferes with current skill
  • Learner consciously attends to the specifics of a skill normally performed docsity.com

Correction of Errors in

Neuromuscular Coordination

  • Have to be able to distinguish between what learners can do and what they know
  • Provide additional opportunities to practice
  • Address physical deficits;ie. lack of strength, flexibility
    • Genetic deficiencies won’t be corrected, ie. poor RT/ manual dexterity
  • Reallocate attentional focus; through practice one doesn’t need to focus so much on the motor skill
