Key concepts ๐ฏ
- Massed Practice
- Distributed Practice
- Blocked Practice
- Random Practice
- Serial Practice
Notes ๐
- ๐ฅ Massed Practice: When there are little or no gaps in practice. Picture a field hockey team practicing their shooting techniques non-stop for 40 minutes. It's like playing the same song on repeat. This method is good for tasks that are simple or if the performer is already skilled. However, it can lead to fatigue and boredom.
- Real-World Example: A judo player practices the same move repeatedly in one session.
- ๐ฅ Distributed Practice: Practice sessions are separated by rest or different activities. Imagine a basketball team alternating between shooting practice and short scrimmage games. This approach reduces fatigue and boredom, and may improve performance.
- Real-World Example: A basketball team switches between shooting practice and scrimmage games.
- ๐ฅ Blocked Practice: One movement or skill is practiced repeatedly in a drill-like manner, like a tennis player practicing forehand ground strokes over and over. Great for quick improvements, but not ideal for long-term skill retention.
- Real-World Example: A tennis player practices forehand ground strokes in 5 sets of 10 strokes with a few minutes rest in-between.
- ๐ Random Practice: Practicing different skills or movements in a random order. A golfer may practice chip shots, full swings, and half-swings in a mixed-up sequence. Research shows this approach is better for learning.
- Real-World Example: A golfer practices different shots and swings with various clubs, without any specific order.
- ๐งฎ Serial Practice: Practicing different movements in a structured and consistent order. For instance, a volleyball player practices the dig, the overhead pass, and the spike in the same sequence every time.
- Real-World Example: A volleyball player practices the dig, overhead pass, and spike in the same order each time.
