4
What is a key characteristic of the cognitive stage of learning?
The learner requires external feedback from a coach
Reaction time is shorter due to well learned motor programs
The focus is on improving accuracy, consistency, fluency and timing
Performance is automatic and fluent
5
During the cognitive phase, what is the main challenge for beginners?
Detecting and correcting their own errors consistently
Understanding advanced tactics and strategies
Processing information like body position, movement speed, and game rules
Performing movements automatically without conscious thought
6
Why do athletes in the autonomous phase have shorter reaction times?
They use step-by-step mental processing for each movement
They utilise external feedback from their coach
They have memorized motor programs that are stored in long-term memory
Because their focus during practice is to eliminate mistakes
7
In which scenario is the command teaching style most appropriate
Coaching experienced athletes
Teaching a complex skill with safety risks
Encouraging creativity and independence
Developing leadership and communication skills
8
Why might a learner struggle with a new skill?
The task is too difficult or beyond their current abilities
All learners improve at the same rate regardless of task difficulty
The task is too easy and does not challenge them
Highly motivated players will persevere during difficult tasks
9
How does age affect the rate of learning?
Learning slows as children approach adulthood
It increases with age due to experience and the ability to adapt skills
Older individuals always learn new skills faster
Highly motivated players will persevere during difficult tasks
10
Which of the following best describes a performer in the associative phase?
They begin to detect and correct their own errors
They perform automatically with little conscious thought
They are completely new to the skill and lack consistency
They require a coach for all feedback and corrections
11
What is the key feature of whole–part–whole practice?
The skill is practiced in full, then broken down, then practiced again
The skill is only practiced in isolated parts, never in full
The skill is practiced continuously with no breaks
The skill is learned by adding new components in stages
12
What is an example of variable practice?
A swimmer watches a video of their stroke before practicing
A volleyball player only practices serving from the same position
A footballer practices different passes in a 3v2 drill
A golfer swings 100 times without taking a break
13
Which teaching style allows performers to collaborate and share opinions?
Problem-solving
Autocratic
Reciprocal
Command
14
How does the learning environment affect skill acquisition?
The environment has no impact on the rate of learning
Distractions & large groups accelerate learning and mimic game scenarios
A lack of equipment or practice opportunities can slow learning
Small groups or individual sessions will accelerate the rate of learning
15
Identify the
learning curve

Positive acceleration
Plateau
Linear
Negative acceleration
16
Which of the following is an example of distributed practice?
A footballer continuously dribbles for 10 minutes without stopping
A gymnast practices a move, reviews footage, then adjusts
A swimmer mentally visualizes their stroke before diving in
A basketball player takes 50 free throws in a row
17
Why do highly motivated learners tend to improve faster?
They practice more, persevere through challenges, and are more engaged
They have a natural talent for learning new skills
older players learn skills faster, they can apply previously learnt skills
Motivation has no impact on the learning process
18
Which statement about skill transfer is TRUE?
Negative transfer improves performance in another sport
Learning a new skill never affects previous skills
Positive transfer helps learning by using similarities
Negative transfer always happens when learning a new skill
19
What is the main characteristic of the command teaching style?
Only used in team sports
Full control by the teacher/coach
Focus on trial and error learning
Students make all decisions
20
Identify the
learning curve
in the image
Positive acceleration
Plateau
Negative acceleration
Linear
21
Which of the following statements is true about the autonomous phase?
The performer relies heavily on external feedback from a coach
The performer requires demonstrations
Intrinsic/extrinsic motivation is needed in order to develop learning
Movements are instinctive, allowing focus on tactics and strategy
22
A temporary occurrence, fluctuating over time.
Learning
Transfer
Performance
23
What best describes massed practice?
Practicing with little or no rest between repetitions
Practicing with short breaks to analyze and adjust
Mentally rehearsing a skill before performing it
Practicing skills in different game-like situations
24
Which of the following describes mental practice?
Repeating a free throw from the same spot multiple times
Taking short breaks between repetitions to adjust
Practicing a skill continuously with no rest
Imagining performing a volleyball serve
25
Why does physical maturation affect the rate of learning?
Younger learners always learn faster than older learners
stamina, flexibility, and coordination are needed to execute skills
It provides the necessary motor skills and physique to execute tasks
All individuals develop at the same rate, so maturation has no impact
26
When is the problem-solving teaching style most effective?
When there is a strict time constraint
When skills need to be learned quickly
When there is time to explore and experiment with skills
When the coach wants complete control over the session
27
How does the reciprocal teaching style benefit performers?
It prevents them from making mistakes
It gives them complete control over their learning
It forces them to strictly follow instructions
It improves confidence, communication, and leadership skills
28
How can a coach negatively impact a player’s learning?
By allowing players to experiment and find their own solutions
By giving a mix of positive and constructive feedback
A strict coaching style that limits decision-making in real game situations
By providing clear and structured training sessions

30
Which example best represents progressive part practice?
A footballer practices dribbling, passing, and shooting in random order
A basketball player visualizes themselves making a successful shot
A tennis player practices a full serve repeatedly without stopping
A swimmer first practices kicking, then adds arm movements, then breathes
31
Why would part practice be used?
The skill is repetitive and requires no breakdown
The skill is too complex or dangerous to learn all at once
The learner already has full control of the skill
The skill is simple and best learned as a whole
32
Which situation best represents whole practice?
A gymnast learns a vault by practicing individual components separately
A golfer practices only their backswing before attempting a full shot
A basketball player practices a free throw in one complete motion
A swimmer breaks down their stroke into separate parts before swimming
33
What is an example of practice-to-performance transfer?
A golfer successfully using techniques from training in a real competition
A basketball player learning to shoot with both hands
A swimmer using their arm strength to throw a ball
A cricketer using their batting skills to play baseball
34
Which situation best represents fixed practice?
A soccer player mentally visualizes a penalty kick

A tennis player mixes serves, volleys, and backhands in a drill
35
Which situation best demonstrates bilateral transfer?

36
A relatively permanent change in performance through experience, excluding changes due to maturation and degeneration

37
How does physical fitness impact skill learning?
Young athletes pick up skills quickly

39
What improvement is most noticeable in the associative phase?
