Topic 4.2, Types And Methods Of Practice Flashcards
Define massed practice
Continuous practice with no rest intervals
Give an advantage and a disadvantage of massed practice
Advantage - skill is grooved
Disadvantage - no time for feedback
Define distributed practice
Practicing a skill with breaks and rest intervals
Give an advantage and a disadvantage of distributed practice
Advantage - lots of time for feedback
Disadvantage - skill isn’t being grooved
Define fixed practice
Environment remains constant
Give a positive and a negative of fixed practice
Positive - good for cognitive learners
Negative - only closed skills
Define varied practice
Environment changes
Give a positive and a negative for varied practice
Positive - easier to adapt to real game scenarios
Negative - lots of information to process, so bad for cognitive learners
Define part practice
Skill is split into subroutines and each part is practiced separately
Give an advantage and a disadvantage of part practice
Advantage - less information to process
Disadvantage - doesn’t develop kinaesthesia
Define whole practice
Skill is learnt by doing the entire skill
Give an advantage and a disadvantage of whole practice
Advantage - develops kinaesthesia
Disadvantage - lots of information to process
Define whole-part-whole practice
Entire skill is practiced, weak subroutines are identified and practiced individually, then incorporated back into the entire skill
Give an advantage and a disadvantage of whole-part-whole practice
Advantage - identifies weak areas
Disadvantage - only low organisation skills
Define progressive part practice
The skill is split into subroutines and learnt, and then subroutines are chained back together
