Document Summary
Combine benefits of part and whole practice. Direct attention to specific aspects of skill while performing it as a whole. The faster you do something, the less accurate you ll be and vice-versa. Your performance on a task is dependent on the distance and width between the two targets. An emphasis on speed negatively affects accuracy and vice versa. Improves when a performer moves faster or movement distance is decreased. Implications: during early stages of skill acquisition, de-emphasize accuracy. Ability to use both hands equal proficiency is an advantage (sport and life) Practice with one limb enhances skill acquisition on the same task using the opposite limb. Why: non-practices limb uses same gmp as practiced limb (muscles are parameter, one limb acquires important cognitive info about movement problem and transfers to other limb. Greater degree of transfer occurs preferred to non-preferred limb. Greater performance when practice non-dominant to dominant limb. Learners should have some sense of success and achievement.
