Yup
It goes in this order :-
- Cognititive
Cognitive stage is all about trying to understand how do do the skill. It involves lots of video's, instruction times and etc. Its all about conceptialisation of the skill. Lots of errors occur in this stage.
- Associative
Associative is concerned with learning the skill and reducing errors. Involves lots of practice. Errors start to be minimised during this stage, but they still occur. Kinestic sense is developed during this time. Some people never get past this stage
- Autonomous
This is concerned with the ability to do it automatically, i.e. don't really have to think about the skill, it just happens, like you write, you don't know how you do it, it just happens. It's when a person's kinasetic sense is highly developed, and they are a top athlete such as those from the olympics. Characteristics of highly skilled performarers are that they do it with style, elegance, 'have all the time in the wolrd', have good mental preperation.

Cognitive uses massed and whole practice because the whole stage is about grasping the general idea of the skill. however the coach must use video and active demonstration to assisr you have to practice the skill as a whole just to get the general idea of the skill.
Assosioative is about practice and thus you should use part practice to breack the skill up into sections to fix any errors in technique that occured whilst grasping the general idea of the skill. Distriubted practice where the work ratio is less than the rest should be used because massed practice causes fatigue and when an athlete is fatigued they will produce unnessary errors.
The Autonomous stage is when kinaesthetic sense is heightened therefore the athletes focus should be on their endurance in performing the skill with consistant accuracy. Thus the skill should be practiced at a whole because all the major errors shouyld have been fixed and practiced should be massed to develop the athletes level of consistancy whilst fatigued. for example an elite tennis player needs to be able to serve consistantly tyhroughout a five set match and this may involve serving whilst fatigued.....
