Study Notes
Practicing Skills
- Practicing a skill consistently, rather than switching to a varied practice, can lead to better outcomes for a learner.
- Learners are motivated by successes during practice sessions
- Constant practice helps maintain a learner's motivation.
Organizing Practice Sessions
- Practice variability is a desirable feature for learners.
- A practitioner can choose to work with multiple skill variations within the same practice session, which could be done by working with different targets on a court or with defenders.
- A practitioner can work on acquiring numerous skills such as free throws, lay-ups, and jump shots as a part of a practice session.
- The variety of skills for a practice session can be varied, it could lead to better context interference.
- Contextual interference results from switching between skills or changing the context of practice.
- For better skill retention, a skill must be repeated before moving onto a different skill or a different task.
