When the skill is passed across the body from limb to limb
40
How can you encourage "positive transfer"
Make the training more realistic,
41
How can you make training more realistic for "positive transfer"
Instead of using equipment use real people
42
What is "whole practice"
Practising the skill in its entirety
43
What "practice" would the coach use when the skill is ballistic and discrete
Whole practice
44
What "practice" would the coach use when the skill is highly organised

Whole practice
48
What is an example of a whole practice skill
The swing of a golf club
49
Name 3 advantages of using Whole practice
- creates specific images - more realistic than part practice - Makes the skill consistent
50
Name 3 disadvantages of using whole practice
- Fatigue - Info overload - Task could be difficult to break down
51
How is creating specific images an advantage of whole practice
stored as a motor programme which is stored in the long term memory, useful when memory needs to be recalled
52
If the skill is hard to break down what practice would you use
Whole-part-whole
53
What is whole-part-whole
- Assessing the skill - identifying the weakness to practice - putting the skill back together again
54
What is an example of when to use whole-part-whole practice
The arm action when smashing a volleyball
55
What are the advantages of using whole-part-whole practice
- Motivation when you succeed - immediate feedback - Makes the skill fluent
56
Disadvantages of whole-part-whole
- Negative transfer | - Time consuming
57
How can a coach avoid negative transfer when using whole-part-whole
Put the broken down skill back into the whole session as it'll be fresh in mind
