THE PROCESS OF
LEARNING MOTOR
SKILLS
THEORY BY:
PAUL M.FITSS AND MICHAEL I. POSNER
1967
The process of learning motor skills
This theory continues to be
referred to by sports researchers
until today
It proposes that everyone goes
through distinct stages when
learning a motor skill

UNDERSTANDIN
G EACH STAGE
1. COGNITIVE
STAGE
- Understanding & learning
You learn what is needed to perform a
skill.
Frequent errors occur
Attention to decisions & step  by 
step procedures
Have a high attentional demands (lots
of Thinking)
Tend to perform the skill slowly
REQUIRES A LOT OF FEEDBACK (teacher,
THE BEST WAY TO LEARN IN THE
COGNITIVE STAGE
Have skill demonstrated  ensures a visual
aid and mental picture
Allow time for practice and by re 
demonstrating the skill
For the teachers/coach/peers  dont
overload the learner with information and
use short cue words
The neurons in the motor  control section of
the brain respond when an action is observed
STEP CYCLE
2. ASSOCIATIVE
STAGE
-Process
Refine the accuracy and consistency
of the motor skill
There is a reduce numbers of errors
Performer gradually gets more
successful & fluent
Learner begins to make use of
intrinsic or kinesthetic feedback
Begin to pay attention to the
concurrent feedback (During
The stage is normally longer than
cognitive stage
The stage of rapid improvement
Skilled actions get smoother, more
accurate, better timed, & more efficient
Begin to use more complex and detailed
cues
Learner performs and practices the skill
under a variety of situations

3. AUTONOMOUS
STAGE
- Automatic
Some performers may only reach the
autonomous stage after many years of practice,
others may not reach this stage
Sequencing ad timing of the subroutines is
automatic; less conscious attention
Process larger chunks of information that
occurs without attention
Performer analyzing own performance and
adjust own actions
High level of smoothness, efficacy, accuracy is
performed without stress
