Types and methods or practice

Question 1

What is part practice?

Answer 1

Each sub-routine is practiced in isolation and perfected then the whole skill is put back together (Franctionisation)

Question 2

When is part practice useful?

Answer 2

in low organisation skill
the perceptual load is high
the skill is complex
dangerous 
performer is beginner
used to increase confidence
practing a weak area
NOT KINASTHETIC

Question 3

What is whole practice?

Answer 3

The skill is taught without breaking it down into sub-routines (in its entirety)

Question 4

When is whole practice useful?

Answer 4

Giving a true feel (kinaesthetic sense) for the movement of the skill
encouraging positive transfer from practice to the real situation
encouraging the relationship between each part of the skill
the skill is a rapid or ballistic action
encouraging the establishment of a motor programme
more natural
HOWEVER WOULDNT USE WITH BEGINNERS

Question 5

What is whole- part-whole?

Answer 5

The performer attempts the whole skill first and then the weak elements of the skill are practiced in isolation before being put back into the whole skill

Question 6

When is whole-part-whole practice useful?

Answer 6

Practing serial skills
Low organisation
correcting errors or reinforcing removements within a skill
encouraging and initial feel or fluency of the skill

Question 7

what is progressive-part practice?

Answer 7

Each sub routine is practiced in isolation, the subroutine is then linked to the previous subroutine to form larger parts of the skill eventually become whole (segmentation)

Question 8

When is progressive useful?

Answer 8

Practicing serial skills
low organisation skills
encouraging and udnertsandig of the links
between sub routines

Question 9

Examples of part

Answer 9

gymnastics routine

Question 10

examples of whole

Answer 10

football pass

Question 11

Whole-part-whole examples?

Answer 11

A football coach observing errors in a game and then analysing weak areas

Question 12

Progressive part practice example?

Answer 12

Triple jump

Question 13

What is massed practice?

Answer 13

Involves very short, or no rest intervals within the session. continuous practice period

Question 14

When is massed practice used?

Answer 14

Learning discrete skills which are relatively short in duration

Question 15

Disadavnatges of massed practice

Answer 15

Lead to poor performance and hinder learning due to fatigue and demotivation

Question 16

What is distributed practice?

Answer 16

Practice that involves relatively long rest intervals between attempts at skill. May use mental rehearsal during rest breaks

Question 17

When is distributed practice used?

Answer 17

Leanring continous skills, where the performer quickly tires

Learning dangerous skills where fatigue may cause harm of injury

Question 18

Disadvantges of distributed practice?

Answer 18

Perfomers must avoid activities in the rest periods that could lead to negative transfer

Question 19

What is varied practice?

Answer 19

Practice that gives a range of experience where the practice conditions aren’t constant

Question 20

When is varied practice used?

Answer 20

Learning open skills to help develop motor programmes stored in long terms memory, gives performer a range of strategies to draw on upon competition situation

Question 21

What is fixed practice?

Answer 21

Practice that involves a stable and predictable environment with practice conditions that remain unchanged

Question 22

When is fixed practice useful?

Answer 22

practicing closed skills to encourage habitual movement
