Question 10

How should the difficulty of the task during practice be set? Why?

Answer 10

Depending on the levels of course but with regards to the level, the difficulty should be set where the task is challenging to the performer and thus requires effort. (Guadagnoli and Lee, 2004). Learning could not occur with the absence of information, but too much information will decrease learning, therefore learning is a result of the optimal amount of information present.
