Organizing the Practice Environment Flashcards
when do you introduce variability into practice
when the learner understands the dynamics of the skill
blocked practice
learner practices multiple variations of a skill but each variation is practiced for a given period of time before the next variation
random practice
learner practices skill variations in random order
decreased performance but motor learning improves bc memory is needed
who may not benefit from random practice schedules
learners who are limited in their experience with related skills or with movement settings
which type of practice required higher levels of problem solving
random
think - obstacle course
why type of practice produces superior performance but inferior learning and/or transfer
blocked
distributed practice
amount of time that the learner is resting between practice attempts during any given practice session is equal to or greater than the amount of time that the learner is engaged in the practice of the movement skill
massed practice
amount of time the learner is engaged in practicing a movement skill during any given practice session is considerably greater than the amount of time devoted to rest
physical cues
positive effect on the early performances of a new and complex movement
physical cues may produce what
undesirable dependence
learners fail to develop error detection
part task
complex, individual parts that can be put together
whole task
less complex but highly organized in terms of component parts
segmentation
partitioning a movement skill according to certain spatial and/or temporal criteria
practice parts separately until a certain level of success has been obtained then combine to the whole
simplification
various aspects of the skill and/or environment are simplified
fractionization
two or more components of the skill that normally performed simultaneously are practiced in isolation
