OK, I'm beginning to understand a bit better now. From what you wrote, contextual interference would seem to me like performing these motions voluntarily during games, rather than during practice or in a cage. Am I correct?

After looking up schema theory, I now know what it means (basically a human's method by which he acquires and interprets information), but I'm not exactly sure how it applies to this discussion.

Thanks for trying to help me understand this better.
