The various ways to practice skill acquisition, retention and refinement.
● distributed practice is spaced out over time and allows for rest (versus massed, which does not) and is thought to be more beneficial for motor learning and performance.
● varied practice, in which many variations of a skill are included (versus constant, in which they are not) is thought to be more beneficial for motor learning and performance.
● random practice (also called interleaved practice) in which several different motor tasks are mixed or interleaved (versus blocked practice conditions, in which only one skill is practiced consecutively) is thought to be more beneficial for motor learning and performance
