Internet is connected...for now!
Let's pick up where we left off shall we?
VARIABILITY / ADAPTABILITY - JOHN KIELY
- As we train a skill the size of the brain responsible for that skill increases but if we train too heavily then it can shrink to the point where we actually hurt ourselves from a performance point of view like musicians cramp
- The idea is to not let that area get too small by inserting slight variations of your core movements (repetition without repetition)
- Max effort work in the gym can decrease the amount of variability you can use to complete the lift as you need to hold, master and perfect technique to stay in the safe zone which can in turn decrease adaptive ability
DESIREABLE DIFFICULTIES (ANNIE BROOKMAN-BYRNE)
- Makes learning more challenging but also more effective
- There are ways of learning that may feel less effective and even lead to more errors during the learning process but that also leads to better performance in the long term
- Spacing aims to increase the amount of information that is learnt so rather then revisiting the same information in succession, you’d spread it out over time
- Rather than studying information on a topic 3 times in a row you would study for the same amount of time overall but with 10 minutes to 24 hours in between
- Interleaving refers to switching between topics rather then staying on topic exclusively so switch from maths to geography to french then back to maths again
- The testing effect refers to the act of trying to remember information which can improve the learning of that material later on
- Multiple choice encourages you to think about each answer which seems to help recall untested but related information
- When things feel at their toughest then that might just be when the real learning is happening
