Document Summary
Learning does not necessarily result from repetition (at least effective and efficient skill acquisition) Effective practice activates as many components as possible. In general, specificity of learning suggests that what you learn depends largely on what you practice. Practicing in a particular environment or workspace often leads to better performance mainly in that workspace: context is important, home-field advantage . The sensory feedback resulting from performance during specific types of practice becomes part of the learned representation for skill: visual, auditory, tactile, even olfactory. The learner who attempts to perform as well as possible in practice tends to be inhibited from modifying movements from attempt to attempt. More effective to change something in the movement pattern. Should try to do one"s best on every attempt when learning a new skill. Providing both practice sessions and test (experimental) sessions during practice can help overcome the detriment to learning. Practice session ask learners to avoid repeating some aspect of the movement.
