2.1-Skill Aquisition- Practice Flashcards
part practice
Skill broken down into subroutines and they are practiced separately.
Subroutines are practiced separately
Whole-part-whole practice
Skill is practised as a whole then broken into parts, a part is practised, then the skill is practised as a whole again.
Progressive part practice
A method of practice where the skill is broken down into parts, each part learnt in isolation and then one by one added in and practised as a sequence.
Whole Practice
Practicing the skill in its entirety without breaking in down into subroutines
massed practice
No breaks inbetween trials or skills
Distributed practice
Inclusion of breaks between trials- tbtb
Fixed Practice
specific movement pattern is practiced repeatedly in the same environment, unchanging conditions
Varied practice
Changing environment where adaptation is required
Advantages of part practice
For low org, complex skills and detailed work.
Used to fine tune
Advantages of progressive part practice
Good for serial skills and routines and builds the relationships between elements
Advantages of whole practice
Good for high org skills and gaining kinaesthetic sense. Near transfer to skills and improved timing
Advantages of varied practice
Good for open, complex or perceptual skills and develops schema and decision making
Advantages of whole-part-whole
Has the benefits of whole and part, good error detection and in depth understanding.
Advantages of massed practice
Maximum practice time. Good for discrete, closed and self paced skills. Allows trial and error and over learning along with fitness development
Advantages of distributed practice
Used for guidance, feedback and coaching.
Breaks are essential for psychological processes and high intensity skills
Advantages of fixed practice
For closed skills, unlikely to confuse
Disadvantages of part practice
Performer won’t gain kinaesthetic sense, may lack understanding. Takes up time
Disadvantages of whole practice
Hard for cognitive learners and not effective for young learners. Difficult to isolate errors or can be dangerous
Disadvantages of whole-part-whole practice
Time consuming and doesn’t work for groups or beginners
Disadvantages of progressive-part practice
Time consuming, no overall kinaesthetic sense until end. Won’t work for discrete, continuous or high org skills
Disadvantages of massed practice
No extrinsic feedback and can be physically challenging
Disadvantages of distributed practice
Less time efficient, breaks= distractions
Disadvantages of fixed practice
Not good for open or complex skills and doesn’t adapt skills so narrow schema
Disadvantages of varied practice
Can be overwhelming, not relevant for closed skills
