Unit 3 PE Practice

In the cognitive stage what is the learner trying to do?

• understand the skill

• refine their performance

• make the actions automatic

• organise a more efficient movement pattern

In relation to practice distribution, which one of the following practice schedules would be described as the most massed practice?

• 2 x 90 minute sessions per week

• 3 x 60 minute sessions per week

• 1 x 180 minute session per week

• 6 x 30 minute sessions per week

What is the name of the practice strategy that led to the greatest improvement?

• Massed practice

• Random practice

• Blocked practice

• Distributed practice

Improvements in skill development tend to be the largest on which stage of learning?

• Gross

• Cognitive

• Associative

• Autonomous

Which one of the following is an example of augmented feedback?

• A hockey player is seeing the ball go into the goal

• A tennis player hearing the ball connect with the racquet

• A coach telling a player to fully extend their leg when kicking

• A soccer player feeling the ball make contact with their foot

Practice that involves little to no rest between repetitions of the one skill is referred to as

• Massed

• Distributed

• Random

• Serial

In distributed practice, the work-to-rest ratio is likely to be

• ‘work is greater than rest’

• ‘rest is less than work’

• ‘work is less than rest’

• ‘there is no rest’

The principle of ___________________________dictates that as the level of skill performance increases, the relative rate of skill learning reduces.

Random practice is best suited for athletes in which stage of learning?

• Cognitive

• Associative

• Autonomous

• Novice

A heart rate monitor is likely to provide which type of feedback?

• Intrinsic

• Augmented

• knowledge of performance

• qualitative
