Drive reduction theory; where the performer/ a skill has been
learnt well or over learned and has become tedious (boring).
When a new skill is being learned, there is much drive and
eagerness to do well and become familiar with it. When the skill is learned, at
the autonomous stage, a strong SR bond is formed and habit is formed. (SR bond
is the stimulus response bond)
Once the SR bond is strong and the skill is performed
autonomously, drive or motivation can decrease, therefore performance
decreases/ stays on the same level.
e.g a rugby player being asked to
be the drop goal performer, initially he has a will and drive to practice and
perfect it,(and create a strong SR bond) but drive reduction theory may
initiate. When the performer gets to a level of kicking whereby he/she is
satisfied, or it is effective (and becomes habit), they will not continue to
practice and perfect it. This means the level of skill of kicking will decrease
or stay the same.
How does it effect a balanced, active, healthy lifestyle?
-
Loss of interest
-
Less participation
-
Level of skill reduced
Teachers/coaches must act.
e.g AUSTRALIA- ‘FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS PROGRAMME’.
-This is where basic motor skills are introduced to
primary school kids, which is hoped to give them a better chance for everyone
to develop COMPLEX skills in there teenage years, increasing sporting
development and success. It will also give a chance for more teengares to part
take in sport.
MOTIVATIONAL
STRATEGIES
-external –
tangible (medal) and intangible (praise) rewards
-extrinsic
rewards
-internal-
learners having positive feelings about/towards there performances or practice,
through goal setting and reinforcement.
