| Question | Answer |
| What Did Schmidt (1975) suggest about the Schema theorys application? | Schema theory says we can apply motor programs to novel situations by changing them slightly. |
| Is variable or constant practice better for error improvement and retention of skills? Shea & Kohl, (1991) | Variable is better for error improvement, and also for skill retention. |
| Give three factors which that influence the effect of variable learning. | Age, Gender, Variable practice. |
| Define blocked and random practice. | Blocked Practice: sequence where all the trials on one task are done together, uninterrupted by other activities Random practice: same task is never repeated on consecutive trials |
| Define blocked and random practice. | Blocked Practice: sequence where all the trials on one task are done together, uninterrupted by other activities Random practice: same task is never repeated on consecutive trials |
| Draw a graph to show the relationship between the number of practices and the absolute error. | |
| Give the equation for power law of practice. | |
| Participants were asked to make rapid arm movements to produce three patterns after either random or blocked practice. Draw a graph to show the number of training sessions against reaction time + movement time. | |
| Early in skill development we see _____ improvements while in later stages of development we see _____ improvements. | Fast, Slow |
| Explain, using Weinbergs (1994) study, how self set goals, experimenter set goals and try your best goals affect performance over a period of 5 sessions. | Both self and externally set goals resulted in continuous improvement leading to better performance while do your best causes fluctuations in performance seeing no significant improvement over the 5 week period. |
| In terms of pre-practice what is modeling? | Where we show someone something and the tell them to copy the model. |
| Draw a graph to show how having 0 seconds rest compares with 60 seconds rest on performance. | |
| Which is the best type of practice, massed or distributed? | Distributed, the longer the rest period the better the performance |
