Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The machine gun assembly-disassembly skill is an example of a procedural skill, which involves a sequence of motor actions that must be performed in a specific order. Procedural skills tend to benefit from overtraining, which involves repetitive practice of the same skill, as it allows for automatization and refinement of the motor movements. Continuous skills involve a continuous movement, such as swimming, and dynamic skills involve quickly changing movements, such as soccer. Open skills involve adapting to changing environments, such as driving in traffic.
