2. Is a specific expression of a
movement pattern or
motor skill. It is
observable and usually
measurable.
3. Is defined as a relatively
permanent change in behavior
due to reinforced practice.
Learning cannot be measured
directly; it can only be estimated
by measuring performance.

5. 1. Cognitive Phase- the relatively short
period of practice during which the
learner attempts to identify and
understand what is to be done.
2. Associate Phase- the period
of practice when movement
patterns gradually become
well established.
6. 3. Autonomous Phase-
characterized by extremely
advanced levels of learning.
Change in performance may
not be apparent, but the task
becomes more automatic and
requires less attention.
7. Physiological characteristics
of the performer, or
biochemical factors can
affect skilled movement.
For comprehensive
understanding of motor
behavior, all these areas
must be explored and
8. Psychological characteristics that
influence performance are the
broad personality factors that
govern the way one thinks, feels,
or behaves, and those skill-
oriented factors called abilities
that determine how effectively
one is able to move.
