Skill acquisition has three important components.
| Cognitive Learning | This is the process of learning through receiving information. Cognitive means the process of thinking. |
| Affective Learning | This is the process of learning at the social level, for example, interacting with others to create fair play and self-confidence. |
| Motor Learning | This is the process of learning through acquiring motor skills. Motor learning is the most important component in physical movement. |
Once you have acquired a new skill, you and others are able to see your performance from the beginning stages through to the highly skilled performance. Your performance changes can be analyzed in three stages. See if you can match the correct stage with its definition.

In this stage, you are transitioning the information from the cognitive stage into the developmental stage of performance. You are attempting the skill and making adjustments to your movement to better your performance.
This is where you have become an expert at your acquired skill. Your new skill is now automatic. There is less thinking about the movement, and you can perform the skill without any hesitation.
This stage deals with the "what to do," not actually performing the skill. Your mind is comprehending the skill to be acquired. You are watching, analyzing, reasoning, and visualizing the skill.
