Invariant vs. variant features: eg. force and distance. Schemas can have a prediction error and that is how you learn from schemas. Schemas are something additional to the motor program. Procedural memories motor programs schema theory. Variable practice: practicing a single skill but you change a parameter of the skill (ie. the distance) If you use variable practice you golf put from a variety of distances (practice in this way which helps improve the schema: cool study looking at basketball shooting.
