Types of Practice Flashcards
Name the 4 types of practice
Mass practice
Distributed practice
Varied practice
Mental practice
Advantages of mass practice
-develops mastery of skill
-improves dominant response
-develops correct technique
-maximises training time
- improves cardiovascular endurance
Define mass practice
practice with no rest periods and no intervals
Disadvantages of mass practice
-can lead to fatigue,leading to lower quality performance
-novices will have lower fitness levels,not allowing them to develop kinaesthesis
-doesnt allow for feedback
Define distributed practice
practice that involves rest intervals
Advantages of distributed practice
-avoids fatigue
-allows for extrinsic feedback
Disadvantages of distributed practice
-doesnt improve cardiovascular endurance
-time consuming
-lack of continuous reptition,may not develop mastery
Define varied practice
A combination of mass and distributed practice,involves changes in the environment
Advantages of varied practice
-involves rest periods,avoiding fatigue
-high repetition allows for mastery
-rest periods allow for extrinsic feedback
Disadvantages of varied practice
-rest periods make it time consuming
-skills might be learned incorrectly due to lack of continous repetition
Define mental practice
performer goes through skill in their mind,no movement
Disadvantages of mental practice
-no kinaesthesis
-doesnt develop mastery of skill
-unrealistic
-no oppurtunity for extrinsic feedback
Advantages of mental practice
-increased confidence due to visualisation
-low stakes because you cant visualise a poorly performed task
