Introduction: Provide an overview of your chosen skill and the purpose of your reflection.
Stages of Learning: Discuss how you progressed through the three stages of learning according to Fitts and Posner’s model (Chapter 12).
Motor Learning Principles: Select three Motor Learning Principles (MLPs) covered in the course (e.g., feedback, practice distribution) and explain how they were applied to your learning experience.
References: Include a separate page for your reference list, following APA style format. Do not use the reference section to meet the page requirement.
Use the provided template, ensuring you do not delete the titles and page numbers.
Follow the formatting requirements:
Use 12-point Times New Roman font.

THE THREE PRINCIPLES THAT I CHOSE:
1. Cognitive mediation theory
A theory that explains the advantages of a demonstration suggests that when someone watches a model, they process the movement information they see and turn it into a cognitive code that they remember and use to duplicate the skill.
2. Distribution of practice principle – Distributed vs Massed
A distributed practice schedule is one where there is a significant gap in time between practice sessions or trials. When following a massed practice program, there is extremely little downtime in between sessions or trials
3. Augmented feedback principle – concurrent, terminal, etc.
• A generic term used to describe information about a performance that supplements
the sensory feedback and comes from a source external to the performer; it is some-
times referred to as extrinsic or external feedback!
