Chapter 4 - Practice and feedback Flashcards

1

A
  • States that as a performer becomes more capable in their skill performance and progresses to the later stages of learning
  • Gradual reduction in the rate of improvement in skill performance in response to practice

A
  • Refers to the ratio of time spent actively practising compared to time spent resting
  • Is an important aspect in facilitating movement skill learning

Q

Blocked practice

A
  • Involve practising the same skill repetitively in the same practice conditions for a set period of time
  • Ex. A volleyball coach works on their player’s serve for a 15-minute time period before working on the player’s dig for 15 minutes
  • Blocked practice sessions have relatively low levels of practice variability.

Q

Serial practice

A
  • Different skills are rehearsed but in a fixed and predictable sequence
  • Ex. a tennis coach makes their junior players foreheads, then backhands, then volleys and then returning to foreheads for repetition

Q

Random practice

A
  • a variety of skills are rehearsed within the same session
  • no one skill is worked on for a defined period of time or in a repetitive manner
  • rather, skills are practised in combination and rehearsed in random order
  • Ex. a golfer working on their putting stroke practises different length putts in random order

Q

A
  • refers to feedback that provides information about the process of performing the skill
