Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motor reproduction processes involve the ability to replicate observed actions, which in this case would be copying the free throw style of an NBA player. Retention processes involve the ability to store information in memory, attentional processes involve the ability to focus on relevant information, and reinforcement processes involve the use of rewards or punishments to shape behavior. While all of these processes may be involved in the young basketball player's behavior, motor reproduction processes are the most directly relevant to the act of copying a physical movement.
