Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lage, Guilherme M.; Faria, Larissa O.; Ambrósio, Natália F. A.; Borges, Athos M. P.; Apolinário-Souza, Tércio – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
For over 40 years, the contextual interference effect in motor learning has been investigated. While the difference between levels of contextual interference experienced under blocked and random practice are well established, the difference in the levels of contextual interference experienced under serial and random practice is still ambiguous.…

Uehara, Luiz; Button, Chris; Falcous, Mark; Davids, Keith – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2016
Background: Under the view of dynamical system theory, expertise in sports emerges from the interaction of multiple constraints. At an individual level, important interactions amongst constraints could include the relationships that evolve between one's family, playmates/coaches, and specific training activities. Or more broadly, other…

How Do Virtual World Experiences Bring about Learning? A Critical Review of Theories
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Loke, Swee-Kin – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2015
While students do learn real-world knowledge and skills in virtual worlds, educators have yet to adequately theorise how students' virtual world experiences bring about this learning. This paper critically reviewed theories currently used to underpin empirical work in virtual worlds for education. In particular, it evaluated how applicable these…

How Persistent and General Is the Contextual Interference Effect?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Russell, Daniel M.; Newell, Karl M. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2007
The persistence and generality of the contextual interference (CI) effect was tested using a rapid sequential aiming task. Participants (N = 48) practiced three movement patterns for three blocks of 18 trials under a blocked (BL) or random (RA) schedule. Movement patterns were displayed and KR provided throughout practice and testing. A 24-hr…

Exploring Estimation in Young Primary School Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Forrester, Michael A.; And Others – Educational Psychology: An International Journal of Experimental Educational Psychology, 1990
Presents results of a study of the role of context upon English children's estimation skills. Includes estimation tasks involving distance, area, and volume measurements and children's answers about how they carried out the tasks. Concludes that estimates in contexts perceived as mathematical differed from those involving perceptual-motor skills.…

Perceptual-Motor Complexity of Printed and Cursive Letters.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Meulenbroek, Ruud G. J.; Van Galen, Gerard P. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1990
Seventy-five Dutch elementary school students wrote letters of a cursive alphabet after presentation of printed and cursive letters. Analysis revealed that spatial ambiguity, allographic variability, contextual ambiguity, and letter frequency are determinants of the time needed by children for perceiving printed and producing corresponding cursive…
