Skill Learning Principles
Stages of Learning
Cognitive Stages (1)
Associative Stage (2)
Begins to demonstrate a more refined movement through practice
Autonomous Stage(3)
Types of Practice Part 1
Fixed Practice
This is a type of practice where a specific movement pattern is repeated in the same environment. (Drills) This skill is best used with discrete and closed skills, but can also be used with open skills as well.
Mass Practice
This is a type of practice when you practice a skill continuously, without any breaks or rest. This allows you to pack more into your training session and is good for highly motivated learners with good fitness levels. It's good for short discrete skills. This type of practice is not good for beginners as they can loose concentration easily.
Variable Practice
Distributed Practice
This is a type of practice when you have a practice session with rest intervals included. The rests allow for rest and mental rehearsal.
Different methods

Skill Classification
whether the environment affects the performance of the skill
Fine Skills:
these involve precises movements using small muscle groups and involves hight levels of hand - eye coordination
The open and close continuum:
Whether the movement has a define beginning and end
how precise a movement is
Motor Skills are affected by three Factors:
Gross Skills:
Types of Practices Part 2
Types of instructon
Whole instruction - skill is taught as a whole, athlete has to handle a hole bunch of movements at once
Part instruction - skill is very complex and and broken down into smaller parts for athelets. Then taught individually and linked together to develop final skill.
Whole part whole - when the performer has never tried the skill before so they do it as a hole first and then coaches can break it down for them to work on different parts
Types of Practice
Variable practice - practicing a skill in a variety of different contexts and experiencing full range of situations
Fixed practice - when a specific move is practiced repeatedly often refered to as a drill
Massed Practie - depends on those involved and the activity being practiced. Mostly appropriate for athletes in the autonomous stage of learning
Distributed Practice - broken up with breaks and can either be used for rest or feedback. Best for difficult dangerous or fatiguing skills.
