In Episode 82 of the 'All I Really Need to Know I Learned from Snowboarding' podcast, hosts Matt Larson, Chris Rogers, and Brian Donovan explore the Fitts and Posner model of motor skill development. They discuss its application to snowboarding and skiing instruction, breaking down the stages of cognitive, associative, and autonomous learning. The trio delves into the history of motor skill development within their organization and explains how these stages correlate to their one-through-six assessment scale used for instructor feedback. They further debate whether Fitts and Posner implies proficiency and how the model can help understand students’ learning stages better. Additionally, the hosts touch on the emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects of snowboarding and share insights on how the model relates to their experiences as instructors and coaches.
