Transcript Insight (cognitive learning)

Insight (cognitive learning)
• Understanding why you do it
• Developed on criticisms and past experiences
(good or bad)
• Starts through gaining and insight on how to
do the sport. E.G. ‘I kicked that with my laces
and I scored, I’ll do that next time.’
• Another example is riding a bike, you make
error after error and then you just get it and
you can ride perfectly.
• Insight learning is where you can combine the
correct joint position, muscle tension,
direction, equipment and basic understanding
of the sport.
‘whole is greater than the sum of its
parts’ - Gestalt
• The individual parts make up the whole, but
the transitions and timing are another
important part.
