28
Q

What are the 3 steps of defining a task?

A

Step 1
- Decide if skill is open or closed
Step 2
- Decide when to use task
Step 3
- Decide how to change task to make it open or closed

29
Q

What is an example of designing a task?

A
  • Group of Four

31
Q

What does it mean to extend a task?

A
  • make more challenging
32
Q

Examples of simplifying a task

35
Q

What do learners do when a skill is not appropriate? example

A

Adapt the skill to their ability
- Children two hand underhand basketball shot

36
Q

Describe the different practice conditions

A
  • Whole or Part: start with whole (unless safety issue)
  • Practice variability: essential for open skill
  • Vary Skills
  • Massed or Distributed: shorter/more frequent
37
Q

Why would you use tasks and progressions to teach a motor skill?

A
  • Safety

40
Q

Describe Intratask Transfer

41
Q

Describe Intertask Transfer

A

42
Q

What side should you start practice with?

A
  • Dominant side
43
Q

How should practice resemble the skill? Why?

A
  • Accurately
  • More transferable
44
Q

What happens the more a skill is learned?

A
  • More positive transfer to game
45
Q

What can you use to help a clear transfer of a skill?
