Topic 6 - Factors affecting learning

continuously practicing the same skill over a long period of time, good for discrete skills

involves practicing a skill with rest periods in between each practice

involves learning a skill in its whole complete form, useful with simple skills

involves breaking the whole skill down into smaller parts, learning the parts individually

proprioceptors within the joints gives the athlete a feeling of movement (within the body)

involves receiving stimuli from external sources (coach or parents), maintaining or modify's motor plan.

if a coach chunks bits of information together there will be less 'bits' of information to process, eg. 'get in take off position' instead of the explanation.
