Schmidt's Schema Theory
We develop and store in memory a set of schema which can then be adapted or refined to deal with a new situation. A schema is defined as a set of relationships involving joint actions and muscle contractions which produce a movement and can be adapted to produce a new technique or skill.
Cognitive Theories of Learning
Cognitive theories og learning stress the importance of what the brain does with the information (stimuli) that it receives. Cognitive theories reject that we merely repond to a stimulus in an unthinking way, They require the learner to understand where they are starting from and their objective.
COGNITIVE is the process of thinking and understanding.
KINAESTHESIS is a sense that tells the brain about the movement of muscles, tendons and joints. It is our sense of body awareness or position of various limbs in a space.
Examiner's tip:
The Schema theory also helps explan how we adapt a movement as we perform it in response to a changing enviroment. This most often occurs with an open skill when we have to modify the skill for a new situation. The shema theory is both a learning and a motor control theory.
