Perceptual-Motor Learning In Voice Training
Thursday 28th July 2022, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
This course will provide an introduction to fundamental theoretical and empirical issues in perceptual-motor learning with specific applications to voice training.
The review covers the past 50 years of essential work in the motor learning domain, much of it garnered in sports psychology, and now emerging as a critical framework for the way we approach voice training and therapy.
A fundamental distinction that will be used to organize this body of literature has to do with a distinction between declarative and procedural learning and the cognitive mechanisms involved in each.
New research will be presented from my lab that challenges one of the assumptions in the existing body, and that has to do with the conclusion that an external, outcomes-oriented focus of attention facilitates learning in the motor domain over an internal, biomechanical focus.
