Question 1

(a) Discuss the main theoretical foundations of Ecological Dynamics Theory.

(b) Describe Fitts & Posner’s (1974) Stages of Learning model. Outline if the model is associated with a linear or nonlinear theoretical perspective. Justify with relevant examples.

(c) From an Ecological Dynamics view, the Stages of Learning (see Table 1.) can be reconceptualised to place focus on the perception-action coupling impacting learning.

Discuss the similarities and/or differences between the model of learning proposed by Fitts & Posters (1974) and the model by Button et al., (2021). Provide relevant examples of motor learning in your responses.
