The Perception & Action Podcast: 100 – The Why, What, How & When of Movement Variability

Mar 13, 2018

Why is movement variability beneficial for skill acquisition and execution? What distinguishes “good” from “bad” variability in movement? How do different coaching/instructional methods (e.g. ordering practice conditions, cueing, differential learning, and manipulating constraints) compare in terms of their ability to encourage functional variability? When should we be trying to maximize variability?
