Question

I am going to teach my students how to perform a golf swing. The first component of the skill I will teach them is the back swing. The next component will be the forward swing to ball contact and finally I will teach them the follow through. I will have the students learn each of these components independently prior to practicing them as a complete golf swing. Identify which type of vertical transfer is being practiced.

Answer 1

Answer: Repetitive-part learning

Explanations: Repetitive-part learning can be simply defined as a method used in learning new skills where an individual learns a part of the skill and practice, then a second part of the skill is learned, part one and two are combined together and practiced and then a third part is introduced which has to be learned and combined with the previous ones and practiced, the process will continue in this sequence untill all part are learned, combined and practised as a whole and mastered.

This allows individuals to learn the small details in each skills.

Dividing the golf swing skill acquisition into different components and having his students learn each component independently before combining all the components to practice a complete golf swing is a good illustration of Repetitive-part learning.
