Characteristics of Motor Learning

Motor learning involves internal cognitive and physiological processes that form motor habits through repeated practice. It is a complex, multi-faceted process involving various cognitive, perceptual, and motor processes that aims to create relatively permanent changes in behavior. Errors are considered a natural part of the learning process, rather than having negative value.

Five (5) Characteristics of Motor Learning

1. Motor Learning is an internal process


 Motor learning involves internal cognitive and physiological processes
within the learner

Example:
When a person learns to ride a bicycle, the internal processes
include the cognitive understanding of balance, coordination, and the
physiological adaptation of the nervous system control movements

2. Motor Learning is a set of Processes


 Motor learning is a complex, multi-faceted process that involves
various cognitive, perceptual, and motor processes.

Example:
Learning to play a musical instrument, such as piano that involves
cognitive processes like reading music, perceptual processes for hand-
eye coordination and motor processes for finger movements.

3. Motor Learning is to form motor habits


 Motor learning often leads to the formation of motor habits or patterns
through repeated practice.

Example:
When learning to type, initially, one might consciously think about
the placement of fingers on the keyboard. With practice, this becomes a
habit, and encoding is done automatically without much conscious
thought.

4. Motor Learning is relatively permanent


 Motor learning aims for relatively enduring changes in behavior that
can be retained over time.

Example:
Once an individual learns how to swim, the acquired swimming skills
are expected to persist over time, demonstrating relatively permanent
nature of motor learning.

5. Motor Learning is not a value that can be negative


 Motor Learning, as a concept, does not have a negative value though
errors are considered part of the learning process.

Example:
In learning to juggle, dropping balls initially is not seen as negative
outcome but as a natural part of the learning process. The focus is on
improvement and refinement
