A2 - Cover work - Friday 29th January - Athletics

AS - Cover work - Friday 29th January

Knowing how much you enjoy these screencasts…I would like you to watch the one below to reinforce the learning we have done on Schema during this week.

Then use the mind map as a resource to complete the following task.



Exam-type questions tend to fall into three main categories:
• Those that ask about the four main sources of information used during a skill: initial conditions, response specifications, sensory consequences and response outcomes and what they actually mean – what’s happening; what do I need to do; how did it feel; what happened?
• Those that ask to distinguish the components of either the recall or the recognition schema and how/when they work – recall before and recognition after skill attempt
• Those that ask how to make sure suitable schema develop – learn simple skills first; vary practices; develop recall schema

Now come up with three potential questions that you feel could be found on an exam.  Consider the wording (Explain, Discuss, Describe, Evaluate) and if there needs to be application to a sporting context.
Come up with the bullet pointed mark scheme for each of the questions.

AS - Wednesday 20th January

Get into two groups.

The following slides have information on about various factors that affect how we make choices and our reaction time. Your group will be assigned one of these, please work this out between yourselves:

Hicks Law or Single Channel Hypothesis

You will all work on the Psychological Refractory Period.

Your task is to come up with a sporting or otherwise athletic demonstration of how each of these works.

At the end of the lessons you should be prepared to do a 3 minute presentation to the rest of the class explaining the factor you worked on in your pair, plus the Psychological Refractory Period.

This presentation will happen on Friday.
