SPHS 502 APUS Fundamental Skills Associated with Sports and Kicking Features Paper

For this sport psychology project, you are asked to develop an eight to 12minute video where you demonstrate how you would apply two of thefollowing concepts from the field of Motor Learning to the teaching of a
movement skill. (I DO NOT NEED YOU TO MAKE A VIDEO, I JUST
NEED YOU TO CREATE THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BASED ON
TOPICS BELOW SO THEN I CAN FOLLOW IT EASILY TO CREATE A
VIDEO EXPLAINING THE MOTOR LEARNING FOR TEACHING THE
MOVEMENT SKILL!) You must include a demonstration by yourself
and/or another “actor”, not just a lecture.
Choose two of the following topics:
1. Feedback for a specific skill
a. Knowledge of Results
b. Knowledge of Performance
c. Proprioception
2. Freezing the degrees of freedom – take one skill and show us how
you would teach it to a novice. Show which joints are frozen and why
and then the order of release.
3. General Motor Program – choose one GMP and show it in action
during two different motor skills. How do the following parameters
change:
a. Muscles used (will be very similar)
b. Order of activation of muscles and de-activation
c. Force of muscle contraction
d. Duration of muscle contraction
4. Practice session for:
a. Specific population
b. Specific motor skill
c. Transfer
5. Information Processing:
a. Skill display and filter issues
b. Short-term memory processes
c. Long-term memory and retrieval
6. Reinforcement/motivation
a. Key internal reinforcers
b. Key external reinforcers
c. Advantages vs disadvantages of negative reinforcement and
punishment
•
Your video must include an introduction to your skill choice and main
teaching objectives.
•
Demonstration of how you apply the Motor Learning concepts
•
Take note of the environment in which you video for appropriate
background, sound, and lighting
•
FYI, the cell phones you all now have are likely well suited for quality
video
•
In summary, please practice your delivery, clear articulation, voice
volume and eye contact are key features in which you must use in
your own professional preparation and work settings
Along with the video, you must submit a five-page executive
summary of your presentation, with at least six scholarly APA
references and documentation. The reference page is in addition to
the five-page executive summary.
Remember, APA in-text documentation and references are required. Please
review the assignment rubric
