Deliberate practice and expertise in the martial arts: the role of context in motor recall
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.

Effects of scoring configuration and task cohesion on the perception of psychological momentum
Article Abstract:
Research supports the contention that psychological momentum (PM) has a measurable impact on athletic performance. Scoring configurations intensify the athletes' perceptions that the contest is being won or lost, generating the context for PM. Athletes who are winning tend to be encouraged; those who are losing tend to be discouraged.
