You make lots of mistakes and are inconsistent
You require lots of feedback and guidance
You learn by observing and copying others
You are born with the skill
Select ALL the statements which are true for an Associative learner
Fewer mistakes and more consistent
Perfect and fluid performance
Can give intrinsic feedback to detect own errors
More complex elements requires most of the spare attention
Select ALL the statements which are true for an Autonomous learner
Performances are consistent and aesthetically pleasing
Consistent success
You understand your mistakes quickly using intrinsic feedback
Performs do this without conscious thought

autonomous - elite - cognitive
cognitive - associative - autonomous
associative - autonomous - elite
associative - cognitive - autonomous
What is Whole Practice?
The skill is then practised as a whole, from middle to finish.
The skill is first demonstrated and then practised as a whole, from start to finish.
The skill is innate.
The skill is first demonstrated and then practised in parts, from start to finish.
Select ALL advantages of Whole Practice?
May only take a short time to perfect the movement – get lots done in training
Kinaesthetic awareness gained and therefore the skill is likely to be fluent
More realistic so positive transfer is more likely to occur
Prone to fatigue
What is Whole-Part-Whole Practice?
The skill is then practised as a whole, from middle to finish.
The skill is first demonstrated and then practised as a whole, from start to finish.
Performing the whole skill, identifying and practicing a weakness then putting it back together as a whole
The skill is first demonstrated and then practised in parts, from start to finish.
Select all the advantages of Whole-Part-Whole Practice.
Provides motivation when a long standing weakness is corrected
Provides immediate feedback
Fluency and integration of
subroutines is maintained
Maintains Kinaesthetic awareness of the skill
What is Part Practice?
The skill is then practised as a whole.
The skill is first demonstrated and then practised.
Practicing the first part of the skill then adding parts gradually.
The skill is broken up into parts
Select all the advantages of Part Practice.
Can increase motivation because success can be achieved at each stage
Could lose Kinaesthetic awareness and any link between subroutines
Danger of negative transfer occurring unless each part is learnt correctly before moving on
Fatigue is reduced because the performer can rest
What is Fixed Practice?
The skill is repeated forever
The skill is first demonstrated and then practised.
Practice that never changes.
These are sometimes also known as drills and involves repeatedly practising a whole skill
Select all the advantages of Fixed Practice.
The environment never changes, allowing the performer to replicate the same technique every time.
Improves consistency of closed skills.
It can help to reduce pressure on the performer during a competitive situation.
Can decrease levels of motivation
What is Variable Practice?
The skill is changed.
Changing the practice type and the practice drills
Practice that never changes.
These are sometimes also known as drills
Select all the advantages of Variable Practice.
Very applicable to open skills
Helps develop decision making skills
Increases motivation because it is different
Can decrease levels of motivation
