The Perception & Action Podcast

The Perception & Action Podcast

Exploration of how psychological research can be applied to improving performance, accelerating skill acquisition and designing new technologies in sports and other high performance domains. Hosted by Rob Gray, professor of Human Systems Engineering at Arizona State University, the podcast will review basic concepts and discuss the latest research in these areas.

522 – Variability of Practice – A Deeper Dive

Variability of practice helps motor learning. That is an undeniable fact. But let’s consider some of the subtleties: what are the different ways we can create variability in practice? How do the benefits of variability depend on the initial variability of the learner?  Why exactly does variability have its effect? When should it be introduced?
