2. Stages of LearningThere are three stages of learning a performer must perform at to be able to use a skill effectivelyThe three stages are:Cognitive StageAssociative StageAutomatic StageAs the performer moves through these stages of learning they will be more competent at performing each skill
3. Cognitive stageThis is the first stage of learningThe skill will be new to you or it will be relatively new as you will not be competent at performing the skill. You will need to concentrate on each individual subroutineAt this stage you will be looking to break the skill down to its simplest form and you will receive lots of external feedbackYou will most likely use shadow practices or simple repetition practices at this stage
4. Associative stageAt this stage you will be becoming more confident at comfortable at performing the skill. You will be making fewer errors and becoming more consistentAt this stage you will be looking to perform the skill over and over again so that you can master the subroutines of the skillYou will be able to break the skill down into subroutines and correct any errors. You will still rely on external feedback but you will start to detect errorsYou will use repetition and combination practices at this stage
5. Automatic stageAt this stage you will be able to perform a skill without giving it much thoughtYou will now focus less on the skill and you will be able to detect errors yourself. This will mean that you will have more time to focus on other aspects of your performance. An example of this would be focusing less on the skills you are using in badminton but more on how effectively your opponent is dealing with those skillsYou will most likely be using pressure practices and conditioned games at this stage
6. How stages of learning can affect your training programmeBeing able to determine your stage of learning will allow you to select appropriate practices. This will make it easier for you to make progress in your learningIt will also determine you are receiving appropriate feedback. If you are on the cognitive stage of learning, you will receive basic or simple feedback on how to perform the skill compared to the feedback you need to improve when you are in the automatic stage of learning
7. How stages of learning can affect your training programmeIf you do not consider the stage of learning you are at, you may end up designing practices that are too difficult. This in turn will limit the progress you makeIf your development approaches do not match your stage of learning it may impact on your confidence or motivation levelsIf you are on the automatic stage you may become bored and demotivated if you are still using shadow practices. If you plan a complicated pressure drill or use a difficult condition game when you are at the cognitive stage of learning it will most likely cause the practice/game break down. This may result in you becoming frustrated due to your lack of progress
