Sports training improved coincidence anticipation skills in novice females. Random practice contexts enhanced skill retention and transfer, highlighting the learner

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Motor Learning
  • Sports Science

Background:

  • Coincidence anticipation and prediction skills are crucial in many sports.
  • Previous research suggests contextual interference and external activities impact skill acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of sports training and contextual interference on coincidence anticipation skills.
  • To examine how random versus blocked practice contexts influence skill acquisition, retention, and transfer.
  • To explore the role of the learner as an active information processor.

Main Methods:

  • Novice females underwent an experimental intervention program.
  • Training involved both laboratory tasks and sports training.
  • Practice sessions utilized random and blocked contextual interference conditions.

  • Acquisition contexts preceded sports training.

    • Main Results:

    • Observed results supported theoretical predictions on contextual interference.
    • Sports training effects were most significant during retention and transfer when acquisition context was random.
    • Activities outside the laboratory demonstrably influenced laboratory task performance.

    Conclusions:

    • Random practice contexts enhance the retention and transfer of coincidence anticipation skills.
    • Learner's active processing of information, influenced by external activities, is key to skill transfer.
    • Findings align with transfer-appropriate processing theories.
