Constant Vs Variable Practice Flashcards
(11 cards)
What is variable practice?
Parameters change from trial to trial
What were the results of using constant and variable practice?
Constant practice showed better initial performance
What kind of practices should be conducted to have the best performance results?
The combination of both variable and constant practice
What has been shown about variable practice used for a skill that required constant practice?
Variable practice has been shown to be equivalent in effectiveness
How is feedback utilized during skill acquisition?
The role of feedback declines with practice
What is closed loop control?
Motor control done with the presence of sensory feedback
What is open loop control?
Motor control done with absence of sensory feedback
What happens with visual feedback as practice continues?
Visual feedback will soon replace kinesthetic feedback as practice continues
What is specificity hypothesis 1?
Performers develop a movement representation dependant upon a specific source of feedback with practice
What is specificity hypothesis 2?
Reliance on a source of feedback increased with practice
What is constant practice?
Parameters do not change from trial to trial
