Our ESR3-Anadi Mehta_-and his supervisors have just published an article entitled: “Random and blocked Practice Schedule Affect Search for New Movement Coordination Patterns Differently”.
In their paper, the authors aim to identify differences due to imposed task variability in search behavior within both the task space and the joint space. The found that participants in the study successfully learned the required movement coordination in both practice groups. However, random practice led to increased search behavior at both the task and joint levels. Furthermore, analysis of the search structure revealed that covariation in coordination patterns was higher with random practice.
