Chaining
Has the same meaning as the progressive part method of practice
Part practice
Skill broken into subroutines, then subroutines practiced separately, then subroutines put together
Whole practice
Not broken into subroutines, skill learned in its complete form, movement attempted holistically
Progressive part practice
Parts/subroutines of a skill practiced separately then, combined gradually into larger parts until whole skill achieved
Whole-part-whole practice
Skill practised in its entirety then, subroutines practised separately, then complete skill practised again
Massed practice
Practice is repetitive and continuous, no rest intervals
Distributed practice
Practice is in short bursts, regular rest intervals
Varied practice
Changes regularly, takes place in different environments or situations, different activities are performed in different ways
Fixed practice
Stays the same, the environment or situation doesn’t change, practice repeated in the same environment
Proprioception
The body’s ability to sense movement, action and location
S-R bond
Stimulus-Response Bond, the connection that is made between a stimulus and the response made to this stimulus
Sub-routines
A collection of neural impulses fired off to the muscles to produce part of a larger movement pattern
