discrete
clear beginning clear end short skills
serial
multiple discrete skills like the triple jump
continuous

organisation (high low)
how difficult it is to separate the subroutines
low organised
easy to break up into sub routines like tennis serve
high organisation
had to separate subroutines like dribbling in basketball
task analysis
teacher of skills understanding what needs to be taught - what sub routines need to be fixed
how to practice open/closed
open - practice over many situations
closed - repetition variation doesn’t matter
how to practice discrete serial continuous skills
discrete - taught as a whole
serial - breaking them down into subroutines
continuous - practiced as a whole
kinaesthetic sense
the performer can feel the true nature of the skill
difficulty continuum
how many judgements in a skill or not
simple
