Organizing the Practice Environment Flashcards
Blocked practice
learner practices one variation in a skill for a given period then moves to another.
Random practice
learner practices skill variations in random order
Blocked or Random:
superior skill performance
Blocked
Blocked or Random:
Superior learning and/or transfer of a skill
Random
Blocked or Random:
Requires higher level problem solving
Random
Blocked or Random:
Better when learner is inexperienced
Blocked
Distributed Practice
Time resting between practice attempts > time engaged in practice of skill
Massed Practice
Time engaged in practice of a skill»_space; time resting between practice
Benefits to physical guidance learning a new skill
positive effect on early performance of new and complex movement
Drawbacks to physical guidance learning a new skill
May produce undesirable dependence
Learner fails to develop error detection
Key: know when to remove support
Part-Task
Nature of the skill- More complex but individual parts can be put together
Whole-Task
Less complex but highly organized in terms of component parts
Segmentation
practice parts separately until successful, then combine into whole task
Simplification
various aspects of the skill and/or environment are simplified
Fractionization
2 or more components of the skill normally performed simultaneously are practice in isolation
Define Feedback / response produced feedback
all sensory info available as the result of a movement a person has produced
Intrinsic / Inherent Feedback
Comes to individual through various sensory systems
Extrinsic / Augmented Feedback
Information that supplements augmented feedback
verbal or manual guidance while the task is being performed
When can extrinsic feedback be given?
concurrently or at the end of the task
Knowledge of Results (KR)
- form of terminal feedback
- Outcome of the movement in terms of the movement’s goal
Knowledge of Performance (KP)
Feedback about the movement pattern used to complete the goal
