Week 8 Flashcards
Functional connectivity high correlation
-greater connectivity
Functional connectivity low correlation
-lower connectivity
Blocked practice
-practicing the same tasks repeatedly in a predictable manner
-AAA BBB CCC
-think about using different golf clubs
Random practice
-practicing multiple tasks in an unpredictable manner
-CAB BCA ACB
-think about using different golf clubs
Is blocked or random practice better
-random
Research on blocked vs random practice
-individuals who practice in a random order do better in retention and transfer tests
-blocked practice was better for aquisition
Contextual interference
-interference that is generated due to the context associated with skilled practice
-the more random the tasks are, you generate a higher contextual interference
What may influence contextual interference
-age
-expertise
Elaborative processing hypothesis
-random practice promotes more comparative and contrastive analyses of actions
-representations of actions are more memorable
Forgetting and reconstruction hypothesis
-processes associated with reconstruction of the motor program are trained to a greater extent with high contextual interference
-reconstructing motor program involves drawing it from long term memory again
Spacing effect
-spacing out memorization and repitition increases correct recall
How does giving the learning hints effect learning
-detrimental to learning
Oscillation patterns
-change when involved in focused tasks
Random practice in older adults
-led to larger decreases in default mode network activation
Serial practice
-combines the predictableness of blocked practice with non-repetitiveness of random practice
-ABC ABC ABC
