An idea charge with emotionaimed at an attitude object
What is the behavioural component?
How a person behaves towards an attitude object
Its the most efficientpredictor of behaviour
What’s the cognitive component?
The thinking part of an opinion or attitude based on theinformation you have about the attitude object.
Its what a person believes or what they want to know
What’s the affective component?
its the emotional response to an attitude and can override the cognitive component.
it can be changed by giving the person new information
What are the components of the Triadic model of attitude?
The cognitive component
The affective component
The behavioural component
What are the elements of banduras observational learning theory ?
Attention
retention
motor reproduction
motivation
What is personality ?
The unique set of characteristics, traits, and behaviors that define an individual.
What’s a trait ?
underlying enduring proposition to behave a certain way
Who made the trait theory?
Esenk
Who are traits inherited from ?
Parents e.g shyness, motivation, confidence
What does the trait theory allow ?
behaviour to be predicted
What does the trait theory not take into account ?
The influence of the environment or significant others
What’s the equation of the social learning theory ?
Personality = modelling + reinforcement
what does the social learning theory believe ?
Behaviour is learned through observation, imitation, and reinforcement.
Regardless of our traits our behaviour can be developed by the people around us
B=f(PxE)?
Behaviour = function ( Personality traits x environment)
What’s the inner core of Hollanders model?
Fairly permanent, made up of basic values and attitudes influence our typical responses
What is the typical responses from Holanders model ?
the usual way we respond to situation.
Closely linked to the inner core.
What is role related behaviour from Holanders model ?
The most changeable aspect, we respond in ways that will best meet the situational demands.
This could be different from our core.
What is transfer ?
The process of one skill influencing the learning and performance of a separate skill as implied by schema theory.
What’s schema ?
An accumulation of knowledge and motor programmes that can be adapted and transferred to help a response to a new situation
What’s positive transfer ?
When one skill helps the learning and performance of another e.g two skill that have similar form
whats negative transfer ?
When one skill impairs the learning and performance of another skill
What’s Bilateral transfer ?
Transfer of learning or skill from one limb or side of the body to the other.
What’s zero transfer ?
No transfer at all between learning
What are ways to promote positive transfer ?
Make training realistic, Point out where transfer can occur, make sure one skill is well learned before moving on to another (planned progression), stop bad habits, praise the use of previously learned skills
What are the stages of observational learning ?
Demonstration
attention
retention
motor reproduction
motivation
What is learning ?
A more or less permanent change in behaviour that is reflected in a change of performance
What’s a learning plateau?
when a learner can face a learning block or plateau in which they maintain the standard performance but makes no further improvements
What could a learning platau be caused by ?
Loss of motivation, fatigue, goals set too low, limit of ability, boredom, limit of task
What are the stages of skill learning ?
Cognitive, associative, autonomous.
What happens in the cognitive stage ?
The learner tries to understand the skill
movement will lack coordination
trial and error may be used
the learner benefits from observing demonstrations
what happens in the associated phase?
response is inefficient
concentration is required
control of the skill through external feedback
motor programmes might start to be formed
trial and error may still be used
What happens in the autonomous phase?
This is the expert stage
the movement has been grooved
attention can be given to the peripheral environment cues
practice must continue to stay in this phase
What is massed practice good for ?
good for habitual responses
good for discrete skills
increases fitness
enhances over learning
organisation continum?
Discrete serial continuous
what is discrete ?
clear beginning and clear end
What’s serial?
A number of discrete elements
What’s continuous ?
no clear beginning or end
What’s fixed practice?
specific movement pattern repeatedly done in the same environment normally done in closed environments and is normally closed and discrete
