Exam 16: Practice Variability and Specificity

Research suggests that blocked practice consistently leads to poor performance:

In the contextual interference experiment by Lee and Magill,the practice schedule that yielded the same results as the random schedule was the ________ practice schedule.

The term practice variability refers to the variety of movement and context characteristics the learner experiences while practicing a skill.

The especial skills effect:

"Home field advantage" can be explained in part by what we know about incidental learning as it relates to the environmental context.

According to Gentile,variable practice experiences for closed skills that involve intertribal variability should focus on varying:

The practice schedule that involves the lowest amount of contextual interference is the ________ practice schedule.

Regulatory conditions in a motor skill performance situation include:

The guideline for implementing practice variability for the learning of open skills is to vary both regulatory and nonregulatory conditions.

Research evidence has provided support for both the elaboration and action-plan reconstruction hypotheses that have been proposed to account for the contextual interference effect.

The term that means "what we know about what we know" and is used in reference to people making judgments about how much they are learning is.

According to Proteau's hypothesis about the specificity of learning,motor skill learning is specific to the sources of information available during practice.
