Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Success in exercise and sport depends on your ability to develop a specific set of perceptual, cognitive and motor skills. This subject will expand your theoretical and practical understanding of motor performance and skill learning. In this subject you will explore the principles and apply the concepts of skill acquisition to a variety of real-world settings such as coaching, rehabilitation and everyday motor skill learning. In particular, this subject considers the role that different types of learning, practice, instruction and feedback have on the skill acquisition process. Throughout this subject, the implications of current research that has shaped our understanding of motor skill learning will be reviewed, in particular, evaluating the major characteristics of change that occur in human performance during the skill acquisition process.
