Practice
Physical or mental rehearsal of a task, skill, or knowledge in order to achieve some level of proficiency in performing the task or skill or demonstrating the knowledge
Active practice
Providing trainees with opportunities to practice performing a training task or using knowledge during training
Conditions of practice
Practice conditions that are implemented before and during training to enhance the effectiveness of active practice and maximize learning and retention
Pre-training interventions
Activities or material provided before a training program or practice session to improve the potential for learning as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of practice during training
Attentional advice
Providing trainees with information about the task process and general task strategies that can help learn and perform a task
Metacognition
A self regulatory Process that helps people guide their learning and performance
Metacognitive strategies
Strategies trainees can use to self - regulate their learning of a task
Advance organizers
Structures or frame works to help trainees assimilate and integrate training content
Goal orientation
The type of goal (learning goal or performance goal) that is set during training
Preparatory information
Information about what trainees can expect to occur during practice sessions so that they can develop strategies to overcome performance obstacles
Pre-practice briefs
Sessions in which team members establish their roles. responsibilities, and performance expectation prior to a team practice session
Massed versus distribution practice
How the segments of a training program are divided and whether the training is conducted in a single session (massed) or is divided into several sessions with breaks or rest periods between them (distributed)
Whole versus part learning
Whether the training material is learned and practiced at one time or one part at a time
Overlearning
Continued practice even after trainees have mastered a task so that the behaviour becomes automatic
Automaticity
The performance of a skill to the point at which little attention from the brain is required to respond correctly

Dividing training materials into an organized and logical sequence of sub tasks
Feedback and knowledge of results
