- 3 theories of learning
- Operant Conditioning
- Behaviour could be modified or conditioned if it was directed towards a stimulus
- Presented by a psychologist called Skinner
- Experiments for this theory involved a rat that eventually learnt through trial and error that if a lever was pressed, food would be released
- Involves the learner forming and strengthening a stimulus-response (S-R) bond
- Referred to as a connectionist or associationalist theory
- How it works: The teacher presents a stimulus to the performer in an environment that replicates a relevant sports situation. The learner will through trial and error react or respond to the stimulus. When performed completes correct response, positive reinforcement is given
- Cognitive learning theory
- Learning is best achieved by presenting the whole skill to the learner in context of a realistic situation
- Thought to be dependant on perception
- Presents all information necessary for complete understanding
- Observational learning
- Copying the behaviour of others
- Copied from role models
- Role model must be positive and have good, inspirational behaviours to follow
- Form of visual guidance
