Motor Learning, Stages of
According to the model proposed by psychologists Paul Fitts and Michael Posner (1967), motor learning occurs in three distinct stages: 1) the cognitive stage, in which the person’s motor learning is heavily based on cognitive or verbal processing, 2) the associative stage, in which there are still errors but the learner is becoming more skilled, requires less extrinsic feedback, and and 3) the autonomous stage, in which skills become more automatic; processing is rapid and movements are fluid and efficient. It should be noted that that this model, while often quoted in academic literature, is considered outdated by some researchers(in light of gains in neuroscience) and is under scrutiny in current motor learning research; see embodied cognition.[1]
