Skill Acquisition Laboratory Report 1: “Open and Closed Skills”

AIM: The aim of this experiment was to show the difference in difficulties between open and closed skills.

HYPOTHESIS: I expect that most people would do well in the closed skills, and find it more difficult as the skills opened up.

METHOD:

  • Task 1 was an open goal with the ball not moving to start.
  • Task 2 a goalie was added.
  • Task 3 a ball feeder was added to roll the ball to the kicker.
  • Task 4 the ball feeder had to change the speed, position and could roll or bounce the ball.

RESULTS:

DISCUSSION:

1: The first task is as closed as we went, there were no variables. The second task opened up a bit adding the goalie as a variable. The third task opened up again adding a ball feeder as anther variable. The fourth task opened up as far as we were going to open it by adding the varying ball feeding.

CLOSED        Task 1                Task 2                Task 3                Task 4                OPEN

2: The attitude would be the main reason for missing the first goal. Although some people may not know how to kick the ball as straight as others.
