Describe the teaching/learning dilemma of speed vs accuracy. Why is this concept fundamental to both learning and performance of movement skills?

/in /by

Answer the following questions. Each question should take 1 1/2 – 2 pages including referencing. Each question must have at least two APA references with corresponding in-text documentation as well.
Question #1
You have learned several methods of skill classification. Select a motor skill and classify according to:
1. Environmental predictability
2. Task Organization
3. Importance of motor vs cognitive importance
Explain why each classification is an important consideration when selecting appropriate learning strategies for an early learner.

Question #2
Practice variability affects motor learning. It is the assumption that to perform under variable conditions, such as attempting to make a golf swing, the learner needs to practice under a variety of conditions. In other words, only practicing at the driving range would not transfer well to a real game.

Overall, variability of practice seems to be a critical learning and performance issue.

1. Provide an example of a specific motor skill that would like to teach.

2. After you have selected that motor skill develop a three-week practice schedule, three days per week that shows variability of practice.

3. In your own words, define schema as it relates to motor learning, practice variability, and transfer of motor skills.

4. What is the schema that you are hoping the learner will develop about your skill?

Question #3
Describe the teaching/learning dilemma of speed vs accuracy. Why is this concept fundamental to both learning and performance of movement skills?

1. What is the most critical consideration when choosing between each?
2. What are the trade-offs the teacher and learner must consider?

3. Provide an example of applying this concept.

4. Explain your philosophy concerning the emphasis of each in a learning environment.

Question #4
All learners go through various stages of learning from the beginning as early learners to advanced or elite.
1. Select a skill and illustrate how Fitts-Posner’s stages of learning interacts with Schema theory.
2. Where does the concept of degrees of freedom fit within this discussion?
The length of this assignment should be 5 pages plus Title and reference page.

Explain how organizational theory helps us understand the concept and function of organized crime.

  1. Explain broadly what official investigations into organized crime have told us. Then select one official investigation discussed in the book and explain what specifically it told us, and whether or not what was uncovered helped shape future investigations, and how.
  2. Discuss the basic qualifications for membership in an organized crime group. Include whether or not you agree with the basic qualifications and why, and if you’d change or eliminate any of them, and why, if you were in charge of one.
  3. In your opinion, explain whether or not you agree with the following statement: “Hollywood glamorizes organized crime to an extent that it attracts more young people and causes more violence that would exist without such focus.” Support your opinion with statistics, news stories, coverage of organized crime shows and movies, and other relevant facts/support. Also include your personal interest (or lack there of) in organized crime and how Hollywood has or has not contributed to it.
  4. Explain how organizational theory helps us understand the concept and function of organized crime.

Define and briefly explain the concept of a ‘structural break’. Explain how you could test for the existence of a structural break in personal consumption expenditure after the financial crisis of 2008.

  1. A researcher is trying to model the level of UK personal consumption expenditure i.e. the total amount spent by households on goods and services for consumption. Using quarterly data from quarter 1 1997 to quarter 4 2019, the following regression model is estimated (with t-ratios given below in parentheses):

where Ct is UK personal consumption expenditure in millions of £s, time is a linear trend variable, Q2t is a dummy variable that equals 1 in the second quarter of each year and zero otherwise, Q3t is a dummy variable that equals 1 in the third quarter of each year and zero otherwise and Q4t is a dummy variable that equals 1 in the fourth quarter of each year and zero otherwise.

  1. Interpret and discuss the estimated values of the regression coefficients on the dummy variables Q2, Q3 and Q4.
  2. Using the t-ratios given above, determine whether there is evidence of significant seasonality in UK personal consumption expenditure. Clearly explain how you reach your conclusion.
  • Using two separate equations, write the estimated regression model that applies in the second quarter of each year and the regression model that applies in the third quarter of each year.
  1. Define and briefly explain the concept of a ‘structural break’. Explain how you could test for the existence of a structural break in personal consumption expenditure after the financial crisis of 2008. When answering the question, clearly write out the regression model that you would use (you may ignore the seasonal effects discussed above to keep things simple) and clearly define the dummy variables that are used in the model.

Also inquire if they conduct background checks and how they make the selection decision – does a committee decide or the hiring manager?

a) What is an “arithmetic mean” ? Does it have the same meaning as the word “average”? Explain

b) The average of a data set is influenced by extreme values while the median is not. In other words, the median is not resistant to outliers but the average is. True or False. Discuss and offer examples

b) The range is the most obvious measure of variability or how spread out are the values in a data set but it is not the best measure compared to standard deviation. True or False. Discuss

c) Interpret the meaning of “standard deviation” if the standard deviation of a set of numbers is 2 and the arithmetic mean is 3. Hint: That is, apply the empirical rule
