Understanding the Nature of Motor

Learning
• Presented by: FILZA SHAH
• Course: Special Education
• Teacher's Name: MISS HIRA AQEEL
Introduction to Motor Learning
• Motor learning is the process of acquiring and
improving motor skills through practice and
experience.
• It plays a key role in everyday life, sports,
physical activities, and rehabilitation.
• Examples: walking, riding a bicycle, playing an
instrument, typing.
• It involves the brain, nervous system, and
muscles working together to produce
movement.
Definition and Nature of Motor Learning

• Definition: A set of processes associated with


practice or experience leading to relatively
permanent changes in motor skill ability.
• Involves thinking, perception, and memory.
• Differs from temporary performance changes;
true learning is long-lasting.
Difference: Motor Learning, Control, and
Development
• Motor Control: Execution of movement by the
brain and body.
• Motor Development: Growth and change of
motor skills over lifespan.
• Motor Learning: Acquisition and refinement of
motor skills.
Characteristics of Motor Learning
• • Improvement: Skills improve with practice.
• • Consistency: Movements become stable.
• • Stability: Less affected by distractions.
• • Persistence: Skills last over time.
• • Adaptability: Skills adapt to different
settings.
Stages of Motor Learning
• 1. Cognitive Stage: Understanding what to do,
errors common.
• 2. Associative Stage: Refining skill, fewer
mistakes, feedback important.
• 3. Autonomous Stage: Skill is automatic,
efficient, and accurate.
Types of Motor Skills
• • Gross: Large muscles (running, jumping).
• • Fine: Small muscles (writing, drawing).
• • Open: Changing environments (football).
• • Closed: Stable environments (gymnastics).
Factors Affecting Motor Learning
• • Age and Maturity
• • Motivation and Interest
• • Practice Conditions
• • Feedback
• • Physical and Mental Fitness
Importance of Feedback
• • Intrinsic: Learner's own senses.
• • Extrinsic: From coaches, videos.
• • Knowledge of Results (KR): Outcome-
focused.
• • Knowledge of Performance (KP): Movement
quality.
• • Feedback should be timely and specific.
Types of Practice
• • Massed: Longer sessions, less rest.
• • Distributed: Shorter sessions, more rest.
• • Blocked: Repetition of same skill.
• • Random: Varying skills in order.
Applications of Motor Learning
• • Sports Coaching
• • Rehabilitation
• • Physical Education
• • Daily Activities like driving, cooking, using
tools.
Motor Learning in Special Populations
• • Children with Disabilities: Need adaptive
methods.
• • Elderly: Slower learning, more feedback.
• • Injured: Motor relearning essential.
• • Custom practice methods are key.
Conclusion
• Motor learning helps people acquire and
improve movement skills.
• Involves cognitive, physical, and emotional
aspects.
• Important for teachers, coaches, therapists.
• With practice, feedback, and motivation,
anyone can improve.
