You are observing an eighth grade basketball practice where the team is practicing free throws. You notice one child is using more of a "shot put" type motion vs. the proper technique. The nets are at regulation height and this particular individual is si
an error due to constraints.
The optimal viewing perspective from which to observe a skill is:
-up close.
-from behind.
-from the right side.
-from the left side.
-dependant on the skill.
dependant on the skill.
Corrections involving fundamental changes to the motor program:
-take a long time to fix.
-can be fixed almost instantaneously.
-will never be completely fixed.
-should be ignored.
take a long time to fix.

Specific body movements that are observable and affect a skills performance are called:
-cues.
-key elements.

execution.
Vertigo can cause a __________ error.

proprioception
Providing reminders is an appropriate correction for:
-errors due to constraints.
-recall errors.
-comprehension errors.
-errors in neuromuscular coordination.
recall errors.
Which of the following would be considered as a sensory error
-The learner failed to see important cues because he or she was in mid-blink.
-The learner failed to see important cues because he or she didn't know where in the environment to look for them.
The learner failed to see important cues because he or she was in mid-blink.
When a learner is trying to replace an established movement pattern with a new one they will likely display:
-errors in neuromuscular coordination.
-errors due to constraints.
-sensory errors.
-recall errors.
errors in neuromuscular coordination.
Which of the following would NOT be considered an advantage of using a video camera
-It permits repetitive viewing.
-It can be played in slow motion.
-It can provide the learner with the opportunity to see what he or she is doing incorrectly.
-It can alte
It can alter the performance of those not used to being videotaped.
Which of the following can likely be attributed to a perceptual or decision-making problem?
-A bat that is too heavy
-Slow bat speed
-Slow swing initiation
-All of the above
Slow swing initiation
Perceptual errors occur when the learner:

-can't distinguish between task relevant and irrelevant stimuli.
-focuses his or her attention on the wrong cues.
-All of the above
-A and B only
All of the above
When an error occurs because learners do not understand what you want them to do, the error falls into which of the following categories?

-Sensory Errors
Comprehension errors
Good decision-making begins with good:
-abilities.
-assessment.
-selection.
-execution.
assessment.
Which of the following can be a source for errors in performance?
-Equipment
-Fear
-The structure of a drill or task
-All of the above
All of the above
The state tournament is only a week away and you have noticed an error in Sally's technique that will require a parameter change. You should:
-fix the error.
-ignore the error.
-make a note of the error so you can fix it during the pre-season next year.
-
fix the error.
A flaw observed in an individual's performance is not necessarily indicative of the underlying cause of the error.
-True
-False
True
