Article Abstract:

Research indicates that the definition of deliberate practice requires some alteration to be an applicable theory of expertise. Studies using martial arts participants showed that the presence of context hindered or did not benefit their recall of performance, key to assessing expertise of novel motor sequences. Relationships between relevance, effort and enjoyment also diverged from the theory.
