526 – Why are Balance Bikes More Effective for Learning to Ride than Bikes with Training Wheels? A Variability Analysis
The Perception & Action Podcast
Do Balance Bikes lead to more functional variability in postural control when learning to ride a bike? Do they help support the transition from freezing to freeing degrees of freedom?

525 – Variability of Practice & Education of Attention
The Perception & Action Podcast
Does adding more variability to practice conditions aid the process of education of attention? Can we predict the trajectory through informational space that occurs during learning?

522 – Variability of Practice – A Deeper Dive
The Perception & Action Podcast
Variability of practice helps motor learning. That is an undeniable fact. But let’s consider some of the subtleties: what are the different ways we can create variability in practice? How do the benefits of variability depend on the initial variability of the learner? Why exactly does variability have its effect? When should it be introduced?
