Dr. Robert Bjork (Mental Game 1)

Are you practicing hard but not seeing results on the course? In this presentation from Open Forum 6, world-renowned cognitive psychologist Dr. Robert Bjork (UCLA) explains why "good" practice often leads to poor long-term learning.

Dr. Bjork introduces the concept of "Desirable Difficulties"—training conditions that might slow down your progress in the short term but are essential for long-term retention and transfer to the golf course. He breaks down the science of spacing, interleaving, and the dangers of the "Curse of Knowledge" in coaching.
