Mastering any physical skill takes practice. Practice is the repetition of an action with the goal of improvement, and it helps us perform with more ease, speed, and confidence. But what does practice actually do to make us better at things? Annie Bosler and Don Greene explain how practice affects the inner workings of our brains.

"Turn off your computer before practicing"
Programmer: *screaming internally*
This such an underrated comment 😂😂😂
Actually, I prefer doing stuff on paper first before turning on the computer to program.
I like to plan things out before putting it into code. Works every time... for me at least.

Now I have to practice practicing.
First Name Surname and then we’ll have to master the practicing of practicing practice
Damn. I was gonna say that!
But the problem is that can you really practice practicing practice?
this man is smarter than einstein
This is more complicated than I thought. 😂
1. Minimize the distractions
2. Start out slowly
3. Gradually increase the speed of the quality repetitions
4. Frequent repetitions with a lot of breaks
5. Divide your time used for effective practice into multiple daily practice sessions of limited duration
6. Practice in your brain in vivid detail
This is the most useful comment and it's reasonable to upvote it massively to let it float up
This is what we need.
7. Practice at the edge of one's current ability
And also I recommend to only learn 20 minutes at a time. After that you should take a break of at least 20 minutes. That's because the long memory can only affectively sort out about 20 minutes of information. After that the short time memory will take over and you are more likely to learn the mistakes you make and not the actual right way
Again a Video that needs minutes to say, what could have been written in a few sentences.
I can approve that skills can be developed and solidified by just thinking about them.

"The more you sweat in times of peace, the less you bleed in times of war."
Ancient Asian proverb
For those are confused what this says, I THINK it says to be always prepared
Iliketrains Lol i think it supposed to say: the harder you work and sweat when practicing, (military training, workout, sports oriented training) the stronger you are in war/fight.
Actually remember seeing this In a mobile game
@@medogaming3035 ancient say not now days. It just saying work hard and suffer now rather than dying or lossin something during war
I think its not necessarily literally about war. In my opinion, it's just saying that when u practice something, when the time comes that u need to use what you practiced, you will suffer less. For example, if you practice hard work in everything you do, when a hard task comes, you do not find it as hard to work for it since you are used to giving it your all.
Effective Practice according to the video.
1. Complete Focus during practice.
2. Timely, spaced out sessions.
3. Think about practising
Ajit Singh Kang but you leave out the most important part ...
yeah that’s it
4. Start slow with good quality and build up speed with quality
Kristofer Padilla me: high speed low quality amd improving quality... that’s probably why I have so many bad habits don’t do this
That last rule 👌😂
I saw this a lot with me and chess.
When I played for a long time, objects around me were visualized like they were chess pieces on a board, and I was playing complex positions.
After a while these effects became more mild but I think that was my brain subconsciously practicing without even playing the game.
A similar thing happens when I play too much tetris

To practice effectively:
1 - Stay consistent, intensely focused, and push yourself to the edge of your current capacity.
2 - Start off slow, then pick up speed.
3 - Practice throughout the day.
4 - Imagine yourself performing it.
Khan I do too much of 4 lol
Also, if possible, speed it up until you can't keep up, getting out of your comfort zone will make you learn new abilities
Thanks buddy
Khan how are you gonna say push oneself off the edge, then say start slow?
2nd can apply for almost everything for better results

*"It's 100% effective, no side effects, costs less and cures even the incurable."* . What more do you need from a treatment protocol.
"what more do you need", idk how about studies to show that it is 100% effective or maybe a big enough sample size to be able to determine that there are no side effects. And maybe no lies such as cures the incurable, i'm pretty sure if someone will die tomorrow from cancer your treatment won't stop it
edit: oh and natural medicine are still medicine in fact most medicine is derived from 'natural medicine'
@@chipiegg1466 Hey boy,
I am a registered Nutritionist and a Scientist in 7 nations. I wouldn't risk my doctorates and my career on something which is fake. I am at more risk than someone adopting the treatment. Since natural and ayurvedic medicines have no side effects.
And I am not the manufacturer of these medicines. Thus I don't have their trial details. I can tell you that these medicines are from various manufacturers and their ingredients are the one curing all.
Further if you want to know you may google yourself the efficacy of ingredients like gama oryzanol, veg omega, ocimum sanctum etc. There are 128 others.
"Effective practice is consistent, intensely focused, and targets content or weaknesses that lie at the edge of one's current abilities." Great!
I love how video explains this difficult topic scientifically but so simple, that is available and understandable to almost everyone, even children. Muscle memory is something I have experienced many times. Even when solving a math problem, sometimes my hand just wrote what had to be written, I know that it sounds odd. Also, I don’t like taking notes with computer or laptops, because when I’m doing it on paper, I remember the material better and longer.
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10000 times."
- Bruce Lee
Arjen Robben
What if I practice 5000 kicks 2 times? Am I scarier than the one that practiced 10000 kicks once?
Yes, because there aren't 10,000 kicks. In fact, there aren't more than a couple hundred maximum.
The one kick that is practiced 10000 times will be a more skilled kick than any of the 5000 kicks that you practiced twice. I believe the point of the saying is that you shouldn't spread you training too thin. If you get confused and you hesitate then you will lose the initiative.
are you full of shit bro or is this real im not going tp Google it so this is bad asserry
I have to say, the narrator for these episodes has a great voice for this.

My notes: -
Focus on the task at hand.
Minimize any distractions. Moblie, notifications, people, etc.
Start slowly in the practice session.
Gradually increase the speed while focusing on accuracy.
Frequent repetations with a lot of breaks.
Practice in your brain in vivid detail. 🙂

I believe he said "alloted" breaks, not "a lot of" breaks. You do want breaks, but necessarily many of them, and it's good designate (allot) them to focus the timeboxed session.

I think that there is a mental state you produce when you want to practice something. It's like a mental softness that helps us to relax and concentrate. When you do it, you must forget everything and everyone. You just try to calm down and subtly pratice that thing you want to get better. Of course silence is important too. I hope it helps someone.

Exactly the opposite of what school is doing to us.
Non focussed.
Constant speed.

You get 10-15 minutes break between classes which is the recommended break time.
Edit: I have been asked a lot where I went to school. I went to a private high school in Maine, US. School ran from 8AM to 2PM (typically, unless you want to enroll in special interest classes hosted at 7AM and some evenings). Everyone get a 1.5-hour long lunch break with 10-15 minutes between each class. School ends at 2PM and you are encouraged to join clubs & extra-curricular afterschool. On most days, I came back home at around 4PM after clubs.

I have learned challenging new skills by imagining it and feeling what the sensations would feel like in my body. It's how I learned knitting. I couldn't get it by looking at the instructions but when I went to bed , as I fell asleep, I mentally went through the steps and feeling ithe muscle movements in my mind. When I woke up and tried again. I got it instantly.
I trained in a dojo in which the word "speed" was never spoken. We became faster naturally by repetition. We also didn't try to be faster, we just became faster without thinking about it. I realized this because the first time I saw higher-ranking students practicing there I was amazed at their speed. A few years later, I was one of those higher-ranking students, and it suddenly struck me one day that I was now one of those fast students I had observed earlier. All without giving speed a thought.
I have also found that mental repetition of a task can program the body to perform that task without actual training. When I started climbing I "taught" myself to self-arrest (with an ice ax) by reading descriptions of the techniques in mountaineering books. I studied one book in particular. I never physically practiced. But the first time I slipped on a steep snow slope, I not only immediately self-arrested, but I saw the page on self-arrest from that particular book right in front of my face as I did it.
Nice experience

Underrated: watch/listen to recordings of your practice session or watch others do the same task. Related to thinking about practicing.
gobias6 Yup good one and a good reminder to me I do that or have done that and it works
This is excellent - interestingly I learned a song one evening before going to bed, I only played it once but next morning I was able to play it a lot better even though I had only practiced once. I believe in the rehearsal by imagining , makes sence.
I can say as a piano student that these tips have actually helped me improve my skills
The video should also highlight the importance of sleep. A proper 8 hours of sleep boosts the effect of the day's practice your learning by huge, huge amounts, whether it be physical or mental practice. Sleep also restitutes your body and mind, meaning you'll be better equipped to learn the next day. It is essential to have a steady, healthy sleep schedule.
Some people want 9.

You are very right.
its not a matter of how much u sleep, its a matter of when u sleep.. theres melatonin and others stuff getting produced when its time to sleep.. i will always remember what my biology teacher told us a few years ago - practice going to sleep before 11 at night, because thats when the most melatonin is getting produced and every hour u sleep before 11 counts as 2 hours.. maybe im tripping but whenever i do that i need a lot less time of sleep than when i go to sleep at 1-3 in the morning.. try it
Sleep quality matters the most. You can sleep for 8 hours, but the quality of the sleep you got in those 8 hours is bad you'll still feel like you only slept 4-5 hours.

Detailed visualization is used in quantum Physics studies as well. Loved this. Thank you.
The importance of practising with good technique cannot be overstated - this is something I have learned recently when practising playing musical instruments, with regards to being aware of my Proprioception and using only the correct muscles/joints for the job, not involving incorrect muscles from elsewhere which give the superficial illusion of strength but actually just add tension and discourage building the correct muscles and thus prevent effective development. A saying I heard recently goes: "If you practise with incorrect technique, you'll practise really good at doing badly."
Very well said! As a pianist I'd like to add that bad technique not only greatly limits what one could accomplish, but can easily also lead to injuries, like tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. In severe cases, pianists completely lose the ability to play when they develop focal dystonia. As I understand it, this isn't so much a physical injury as much as it is your brain's wiring getting screwed up because of bad technique. Luckily I've never had anything more severe than sore hands for a few hours.

That's why no one is born with success. The successful people are just the people who had effective practice.
this complementa my thought that a master is never only good at his skill (misic, painting, sports, etc) but also a master at organization and every single thing that helps to grow that skill
You can be born with good genes for training

And luck. You can't have success wihtout luck

That fact about imaging as well as physical practice achieving similar gains is interesting. As an artist who thinks he procrastinates too much, I spend a lot of time mentally going through what I’m going to draw/paint and how I’m going to do it BEFORE I start and that appears to actually be a good thing, not wasted time. 😀
I'm the same way. I'vebeen trying to implement the "finished is better than perfect" idea
maybe wasted time is what reinforces time well spent

This is something I think a lot about when practicing my card tricks. It's incredible how good you can get at something with lots of practice.
This is fascinating.
Still a really great and useful video. We use this video every year for new students to our sport, and as a reminder to our more advanced students!
Save 5 minutes by reading this:
Tip 1; Focus on the activity alone, turn off social media. It is not only the amount of time you practice, it is also the quality and effectiveness.
2. Start out slowly doing the practice and gradually increase the speed of the quality repetition, than you have a better chance of doing it correctly.
3. Imagine yourself succeeding the task, practice in your mind. :)
Good luck! :)

I can attest to the idea that practicing in your head can be almost just as beneficial as physically practicing. When I broke my leg skateboarding, I was still learning how to kickflip. All I would think about was skating and picturing myself doing new tricks while I was recovering. Once I finally got cleared to skate again, I was immediately able to kickflip. I was so hyped lol.
Mental practice is so true and big! I would have times where I wouldn’t play basketball because of other things but mentally practiced moves and court vision in different scenarios and it keeps me still elite with people that have been practicing the entire time!

"Coordination is built with repetitions, whether correct, or incorrect."
Hear that folks?
@dread true no in the sense that practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. So if you practice something with bad form you will have perfect bad form.
This is why an experienced teacher can help. They stop the bad habits before they become habits. Much more difficult to do later.
@Daniel kader fck the correct form ,, improvise the whole damn thing and impress people with it.
What he meant (I think) was:
Practice correctly. Incorrect movement can be trained as well. When I train for a new skill (rope jumping right now) I focus on doing it as correctly as possible to strengthen that correct behaviour more than the incorrect one. Otherwise my body will adapt to bad form instead of good.
Once again, please?

Can we just appreciate this animation for a moment! 😊
1. Focus on the task at hand, no distractions
2. Go slowly through the motions, then increase speed

4. Mental practice

Certainly the best video seen till date❣️
What a great video!❤Love the animation especially. It’s mind blowing.
Taking time to practice really slow is super helpful. Yesterday I uploaded a video about me not being able to complete overkill in beatsaber. Today while practicing the map I got motivated to take some extra time and to put the speed down to 25% for the parts I often failed at. I slowly turned up the speed and in the end I could do most parts at full speed. All the effort I put into it in the past two weeks where I was trying to learn the song at 80% to 100% speed was way less effective. I was expecting to learn the movements by flailing my arms randomly and failing miserably. I never learned how to do it right. I still need more practice, but I now know how to practice 😇
Hmm, I'm hoping for a video about schizophrenia. Good job, easy and clear to understand.

just want to say this is one of the best animations you guys done.
This is how I practice, I get too bored doing manual practice. I used to thought it wasn’t real practice and that I was just too irresponsible, so I’m relieved to now this is an actual thing.
As an armature musician I can say that this works very well. Have been doing this for years. Not ready for Carnage Hall but sure do enjoy performing.
Thanks for this!!!
The best piece of advice I ever had on practicing was to focus on very specific tasks.
As an example, if you are looking to learn how to play a song it's easy to start again from the beginning of the song when you screw up. You then become a master of playing the intro.
Similarly, you might focus on playing the entire bar when you really might just want to focus on the chord changes.
Isolate where you are weak, and practice on that to the exclusion of all else.
