Perceptual and Motor Learning
Learning operates in concert with the types of learning and the student’s range, diversity, and dynamic nature of learning.
Learning types can be either unconscious or conscious > requires deliberate intention.
Perceptual and motor learning is in correlation with the individual’s sensory experience:
> Learning to hear the difference between major and minor chords, practicing a golf or tennis swing, improving parallel parking, etc.
Learning occurs according to Perception:
Figure 1: A vertical and horizontal striped quadrant pattern appears black and white.
Figure 2: A vertical and horizontal striped quadrant pattern appears in colors.
Learning occurs according to Specificity:
> Learning to play guitar or learning to become a dermatologist.
Different learning specificities, but both according to practice time and training length.
Learning occurs with skills development:
Skills are acquired through training regimes, and skills performance is developed with dedicated long practice time.
Learning specificity is associated with the brain’s ability to change through perception and exposure.
A long-lasting exposure will influence the perception of a subject matter (or object) as it contributes to experience building through sensory experience.
