quiz #3 Flashcards
what is positive transfer?
Previous practice in one
skill assists learning of a
new skill
Why do we practice?
To increase our capability of performing a skill in
future situations (retention and/or transfer).
what happens when you vary the variety of movement?
poor performance in practice
better performance in retention and transfer
Variability produces greater
error
want low variability for early
learners
what is step 1?
Getting the idea of the movement -
Variability in practice may interfere with this stage
what is step 2?
Fixation and diversification – requires
variability in practice
what varies in practice?
context and skill
Closed (stationary) environment
When regulatory or non-regulatory conditions vary in
‘real’ performance, they should also vary in practice
(inter-trial variability)
Practice should vary distances,
snow characteristics, slope
(no inter-trial variability)
Should vary crowd noise, game
‘situations’, etc.
Open (dynamic) Environment
If there is always inter-trial variability – regulatory and non-regulatory conditions should vary in practice
T OR F: early learners need low variability
TRUE
fractionization
Practice parts
separately. Put
together when each
part is learned
segmentation
Practice part A, then
B, then AB, then C,
then ABC =
Progressive chaining
simplification
A variation on
whole practice;
reduces difficulty
of the entire skill
