Practice
repetition of an action with the goal of improvement
help the perform
ease
speed
confidence
two kinds of neural tissue
grey mater
process information in the brain
directing signals and sensory stimuli to nerve cells
white mater
made up of fatty tissue and nerve fibers
to make body move inf travel from the brain's grey matter
down the spinal cord
through a chain of nerve fibers called axons to the muscles
affected of practice in the brain
Axon exist in the white matter
wrapped with a fatty substance called myelin
myelin change with practice
similar to insulation on electrical cables
prevent energy loss from electrical signals
moving effeciently along neural pathways
repetition of a physical motion
increases the layers of myelin sheath
insulates the axons
greater insulation around the axon chains
forming a sort of superhighway
information connecting brain to muscles
athletes and performers attribute to muscle memory.
muscles don't really have memory
effective practice
consistent
intensely focused
targets content or weaknesses
solution
focus on the task at hand
remove distractions
260 students
averange students able to stay on task for only six minutes at a time
coordination built with repetitions whether correct or incorrect
increase repetitions
better chance of doing them correctly
practice in the brain is the vivid detail
144 basketball players
group A: physically practice
group B: metaly practice
intermediate and experienced in both group improve by nearly the same amount
