Q

What are examples of part practice

A

Tennis serve by doing the toss up. High jump by doing the run-up only.

Q

What are positives of whole practice

A

Quickest, Helps overall understanding and development of mental picture, helps interpret environment (open skills), low complexity, good for fitness development and discrete skills

Q

What are negatives of whole practice

A

Can be too difficult for beginners (cognitive), can be tiring if gross skill, can be dangerous to cognitive performers, difficult to refine or identify errors, not suited to learn complex skills, could result in loss of confidence

Q

What are positives of part practice

A

Less demanding for beginners, good for complex skills, motivates cognitive, good for performers with limited attention, safe, good for skills low in organisation, can avoid fatigue

Q

What are negatives of part practice

A

Lack of awareness and kinaesthetic sense of end product, limits mental image creation, lack of rhythm/timing, more time to learn each subroutine, Unsuitable for highly organised skills as sub-routines can’t be isolated.
Can avoid effects of fatigue.
Transfer from part to whole may be ineffective

Q

What is whole part whole practice

16
Q

What are negatives of progressive part

A

Time consuming, Performer may be overly concerned with mastering one particular sub-routine

17
Q

What are the two types of environment for types of practice

A

Fixed, varied

18
Q

What is a fixed environment of practice

A

Practice remains the same in a constant situation. Same movement practised repeatedly in same (stable) environment

19
Q

What are examples of a fixed environment for practice

A

golf driving range/ Bball free throw practice/ football penalty practice

20
Q

What are positives of a fixed environment for practice

A
  • Good to develop motor programmes for over learning
  • Can help to perfect skill
  • Good in cognitive stage as it limits environmental stimuli
  • Good for closed skills (because it replicates competition)
21
Q

What are negatives of a fixed environment for practice

A
  • Can be tedious/boring/de-motivating
  • Not suitable for open skills/does not prepare for game situation or open environment
22
Q

What is a varied environment for practice

A

Practice changes regularly. Different situations or environment. Different activities performed in different ways

23
Q

What are positives of varied environment for practice

A
  • Good for open skills when the environment changes
  • Good preparation for the ‘real game’ situation (if conditions realistic)
  • Best when skill has already been learned (in a fixed practice) / good for autonomous stage
  • Can stimulate interest or motivation / prevent boredom
  • Helps to develop schema
24
Q

What are negatives of a varied environment for practice

A
  • Can confuse learners or cognitive phase performers
  • Too many stimuli can cause information overload
  • May not be able to groove a skill or develop effective motor programmes
25
Q

What are the two amounts for practice

A

Massed, distributed

26
Q

What is a massed amount of practice

A

No or very few rest intervals. Continuous practice or long sessions

27
Q

What is an example of massed amount of practice

A

golf tee shot practice/ tennis serve practice/ cricket nets

28
Q

What are pros of a massed amount of practice

A
  • Good for autonomous phase learners or beginners.
  • Used to groove or thoroughly learn a skill. Good to make skill habitual.
  • Good for simple or discrete or short duration skills.
  • Quick & easy to complete
29
Q

What are cons of massed amount of practice

A
  • Can be tiring or too fatiguing or tedious or boring
  • Can lead to de-motivation/drive reduction
  • Errors can be increased or compounded
  • Can lead to (overuse) injuries
    • Less opportunity for feedback or guidance
30
Q

What is a distributed amount of practice

A

Regular breaks. Skill practised in short bursts

31
Q

What is an example of distributed amount of practice

A

athletics sprint training/ field event throwing practices

32
Q

What are advantages of a distributed amount of practice

A
  • Good for cognitive learners or learners who are less fit or less motivated learners.
  • Good for cognitive learners as they can receive regular feedback
  • Good for associative/autonomous learners to give better understanding of the skill
  • Good for continuous/gross as it allows for rest in between trials.
33
Q

What are disadvantages of a distributed amount of practice

A
  • Can cause disruption in learning which impedes learning.
  • Can de-motivate if breaks are too regular or too long
