Practice

Amount, type, and frequency of practice directly and largely influences motor learning
Types of practice

part - task is broken down into discrete parts
whole - task is practiced from start to finish
physical - performing work
mental - imagery
blocked ( see "closed environment, intertrial variability absent in Motor Learning Taxonomy)
random ( task sequencing changes with each practice attempt)
random-blocked - a combination of variability with some repeated scenarios during the session

Types of Feedback

intrinsic - feedback is from the patient/client's body (sensorimotor and neuromuscular)
extrinsic - feedback is from someone/something other than the patient (e.g., therapist, family member, judges score, referee call, etc.); may be referred to as augmentative if feedback is technology-driven.
knowledge of performance and knowledge of result/outcome. Be sure to not overload the patient with feedback - allow time for processing and keep feedback into manageable chunks

concurrent - given with manual or verbal cues at the same time the task is performed; used in initial stages of learning
immediate, post-response - feedback is after each attempt; used in initial stages of learning; emphasis is on performance vs. learning (retention)
delayed/summary - feedback is after a series of attempts; used as a progression to allow for self-assessment; higher correlation with learning and retention

ranges from concurrent, intermittent, to summary to allow for self-correction of task performance
