Variable Practice Enhances Schemes

variable practice would mean that on any given put you're putting from a new distance. In the brain, why does it work? Well this involves the concept of schemes. Aschema is essentially what we call a look up table in the brain. It's a memory of relationships between things. The schema is the relationship between force and distance. And for different distances you need to apply different forces. This can also work with time. Variable practice enhances schemes because you're working the whole scheme at different points in time. So as opposed to slowly developing the scheme through constant practice. With variable practice, you alternate the scheme on a trial to trial basis, which results in a stronger scheme.
