MOTOR LEARNING THEORIES:
Adam’s Closed Loop Theory: It deepens understanding about motor skills
through the mechanism of feedback and memory traces which are created
with the feedback provided.
Schmidt’s Schema Theory: Psychologists that do motor analysis explain
that when an individual learns to execute a motor act he or she is not
trying to learn the moving pattern but a generalized region.
Ecological Theory: Takes note of the individual, environment, and task
engagement and argues that, in fact, learning is about finding different
affordances in a specific setting.
Dynamic Systems Theory: It proposes that motor actions are achieved
through a network of components. A motor action can be described as a
result stemming from the interrelationship of many systems such as the
neural, musculo-skeletal…
Motor Program Theory: Movements then are controlled by such
movements and every goal is derived from them when still in the memory
each of such movements is executed.
Fitts and Posner’s Three-Stage Model: Describes the mechanics of motor
learning in a sequential process mostly comprising of three stages which
include cognitive, associative and autonomous stages, within which great
changes in cognition as well as performance occur.
Gentile’s Two-dimensional Taxonomy: Conducted a descriptive
classification of sports and of learnt movement skills using two dimensions
namely the environmental context and the functional context.
Control Theory: Control Theory involves the learning of how feedback as
well as feedforward mechanism
Observational Learning Theory: Describes the process of acquiring motor
skills through modeling and imitation by learning the task performed by
the others.
Neuroplasticity Theory: Describes motor learning as the development or
alteration in the structure and function of the central nervous system and
the ability of the nervous system to adapt and reorganise following a
learning task or an experience.
