Document Summary
The amount of practice and the spacing or distribution of that practice can affect both practice performance and learning of motor skills. Continuation of practice beyond the amount needed to achieve a certain performance criterion. Increases the stability of coordination and control characteristics. Positive influence on retention of performance for motor learning skills. A skill involving a series of discrete responses each of which must be performed at the appropriate time in the appropriate sequence. Includes a combination of cognitive and motor components. Overlearning is an effective strategy to increase retention (no matter when the extra training is given). Several studies showed that student determined extra practice was more efficient than teacher determined extra practice. No active engagement of attention resulting in decreases in performance. Decreased capability to transfer: need for practice variability. Amount of practice cannot be taken in isolation to determine optimal practice.
