Learning vs. performance
- Performance: Temporary occurrences that fluctuate over time; it's transitory.
- Example: Even a beginner golfer might get a shot in the hole once in a while, but that doesn't mean they've mastered the skill. (Kerr, 1982)
- Learning: A relatively permanent change in performance due to practice or past experience. It's about acquiring consistency in your skills.
- Takeaway: We measure learning by observing performance, but it's crucial to understand the difference between the two. A good shot once in a while doesn't mean you've learned the skill – it's about consistent success.
Stages of learning (fitts & posner 1967)
- Cognitive Stage: Initial stage where you're trying to understand instructions and make sense of the new skill. It involves lots of verbalization to aid memory. This stage is characterized by errors, attention to irrelevant and relevant stimuli, and crude, uncoordinated movements.
- Associative Stage: Also known as the intermediate stage, you've got the basic idea and now need to practice. This stage is about refining the skill and developing consistent, coordinated movements.
- Autonomous Stage: You can perform the skill consistently and without thinking too much. You've achieved mastery.
- Example: When learning to drive, the cognitive stage involves understanding the car's controls and basic rules. The associative stage involves practice to get comfortable with the car and the road. Finally, the autonomous stage is when you can drive smoothly without consciously thinking about each action.
