January 07, 2025 522 – Variability of Practice – A Deeper Dive
Variability of practice helps motor learning. That is an undeniable fact. But let's consider some of the subtleties: what are the different ways we can create variability in practice? How do the benefits of variability depend on the initial variability of the learner? Why exactly does variability have its effect? When should it be introduced? Articles: How Variability Shapes Learning And GeneralizationChanging Up the Routine Intervention-Induced Variability in Motor LearningRelationship between initial motor variability and learning and adaptive ability.
