Document Summary
Challenge point framework e 18 - chapter 9 (part 2) An optimal amount of information must be available for learning to occur (guadognoli and lee, 2004) Instructors should consider the relationship between skill level and task complexity to determine the optimal level of contextual interference. Practice schedule should increase level of context interference systematically (increase learning) Allows learners to control their own practice schedules for multiple tasks. When practice schedule was self-regulated, approach adopted gradually increased the level of contextual interference and task switching followed successful performance (wu and magill, 2011) Massed: amount of time allocated to rest between practice sessions is comparatively less than the time spent engaged in practice. Distributed: rest component between practice sessions is equal to or greater than the practice component. Learning advantages for shorter, more frequent meetings: spacing practices across days better performance and learning. Optimal practice distribution within a single session remains controversial: continuous skills distributed practice, discrete skills massed practice.
