Q

What is positive transfer

A

Positive transfer is when the learning of one skill aids in the learning of another skill. This tends to happen when the sport or the movement is sports are similar e.g. a netball pass is similar to a basketball pass

16
Q

What is negative transfer

A

When the learning of one skill hinders the learning of another. E.g. badminton and tennis are similar but a tennis net is much lower causing a tennis player playing badminton to hit the puck too low

17
Q

What is zero transfer

A

When the learning of one skill has no impact on the learning of another. E.g. learning to rock climb and learning to swim

18
Q

What is bilateral transfer

A

When the learning of one skill is passed across the body from limb to limb e.g. a right footed football player can transfer the skills from his right foot onto his left foot

19
Q

How could a coach ensure positive transfer

A

Positive transfer can be encouraged by making sure that training is realistic, so that the use of cones or dummies are replaced by real people

20
Q

What are the 3 different types of practise

A

Whole practise
Whole part whole practise
Progressive part practise

21
Q

What is whole practise

A

Practising the skill in its entirety without breaking it down into its sub routines

22
Q

When would whole practise be used

A

The skill is fast, ballistic and discrete such as the sharp action of a tennis serve
The skill is highly organised and cannot be broken down into sub routines
The performer is advanced in the autonomous stage of learning, when movement is detailed and precise, and able to cope with the demands of the whole task

23
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages to using whole practise

A

Advantages:
Whole practise can be stored as a motor programme which is stored in the long-term memory, this is useful when the skill needs to be recalled from memory and performed
More realistic so it helps the positive transfer of skills from the training ground onto the field
Whole practise help make the skill consistent

Disadvantages:
May place unnecessary demand on the performer who may not be able to perform the whole aspect of the skill especially if they’re a beginner
Possibility of fatigue If the performer doesn’t have a rest
Performer may have a specific aspect of weakness in which case whole-part-whole is more efficient

24
Q

What is whole part whole practise

A

Where the player attempts the whole skill to get a feel for it, identify where the weakness are and practise those weaknesses separately. Then put the skill back together

25
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages of whole-part-whole practise

A

Advantages:
Shows weaknesses and corrects them
Provides motivation when a long standing weakness is corrected

Disadvantages:
Time consuming
Some skills cannot be broken down

26
Q

What is progressive part practise

A

Practising the first part of the skill then adding parts gradually. Sometimes called chaining

27
Q

What is chaining

A

Linking the sub-routines, or parts of a task, together in order when practising. The first two parts are learned, then the third part is added; that part is learned and added to the first two, and so on

28
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages too progressive part practise

A

Advantages:
Keeps links between parts
Stages of success give motivation
Reduces anger
Reduces fatigue
Focuses on weakness

Disadvantages:
Time consuming
If the first part is incorrect, all is lost
Negative transfer

29
Q

What is massed practise

A

Practise with no rest intervals

30
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages to massed practise

A

Advantage:
Forms motor programmes
Increases fitness
Enhances over learning
Good for habitual response
Efficient

Disadvantages:
Not time for feedback
Fatigue
Too demanding

31
Q

What is distributed practise

A

Practise with rest intervals between sessions

32
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages to distributed practise

A

Advantages:
Allows recovery
Less mental practise
Allows mental rehearsal / feedback
Reduces danger

Disadvantages:
Time consuming
negative transfer

33
Q

What is varied practise

A

Changing the skills and drills, changing the type of practise

34
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages to varied practise

A

Advantages:
Builds a schema
Gives motivations
Allows adaption

Disadvantages:
Time consuming
Possibility of negative transfer
Fatigue
Too demanding

35
Q

What is mental practice

A

Go over it in the mind without movement

36
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages to mental practise

A

Improves reaction times
Builds motor programmes
Builds confidence
Controls anxiety

Disadvantages:
Must be correct
Environment must be calm
