Stages of learning: cognitive stage, developing basic strategies, high error and variability, our performance is different every time because of the high amount of variability. Inter-dependence of performance metrics if you only measure one thing, you may be missing something else: performance affected by factors other than learning; ex: injury, illness, fatigue, environment, distractions. Their strategy towards the performance has change (i. e. the plateau), then they transition and change their strategies and the performance increases again: the plateau stage in the middle is the transition point. Blocked vs random practice: blocked: practice different skills separately, random: practice skills in a random order. Which one is better and why: random. It gets you more prepared for a dynamic environment. In this way, you are going through the cognitive processing which is important: random practice is better because there is contextual interference.
