subsystem called the motor store. True The transfer-appropriate-processing theory suggests that positive transfer is due to similarity of the: A Kahneman's model of attention proposes that the mental resources needed to perform activities must come from one central pool that can vary in its capacity. True Research has shown that the relationship between eye movement recordings and visual attention is that eye movement recordings: A The cognitive explanation for bilateral transfer proposes that bilateral transfer occurs because the required: C The process of directing visual attention to locate relevant environmental context cues is known as visual: A An important performance characteristic often associated with learning is that the person becomes increasingly more
capable of adapting performance of the skill to new performance contexts and situations. True Learning the following skills will benefit more from viewing a skilled demonstration than from verbal instructions A A blindfolded man is unable to sense and perceive information about the position and movement of his head. What aspect of motor control is he most likely having issues with? D According to Gentile,
diversification is necessary for the later stages of learning open skills because one must be able to quickly adapt to the changing regulatory conditions of the skill. True In addition to serving as a temporary storage system, working memory also serves as a: B For which reason(s) might a performance plateau occur? D A yoga
student is struggling with a certain pose. What should the instructor NOT do? C If you are asked to demonstrate how you tie your shoes, you would base your demonstration on knowledge stored in long-term memory in the: A Attention focused on one's own movements typically leads to better skill performance than attention focused on the intended outcome of the skill. False Bilateral transfer can be related to the concept of the generalized
motor program (GMP) because muscle selection in performing a skill is: A If a person were blindfolded while writing a sentence, their words would not be spatially arranged on a horizontal line, but the person would still maintain an
