Mastering Motor Skills

Study Notes

High CI conditions result in higher retention and learning
Practice design can affect learning outcomes
Blocked practice design involves single movements trained in a predetermined series
Serial practice design involves multiple movements trained in a predetermined series within a session
Random practice design involves multiple movements trained in a randomized order within a session
Day 1 of practice design involves acceleration
Day 2 of practice design involves deceleration
Blocked practice design is more common in single movement training
Serial practice design is more common in multiple movement training
Random practice design is effective in improving retention and learning.
