Blocked practice schedules involve practicing the same skill repeatedly, while random practice schedules involve practicing different skills in a random order. Serial practice schedules involve practicing skills in a fixed order. Low contextual interference occurs when the practice schedule is blocked, because the same skill is practiced repeatedly, so there is less interference from other skills. High contextual interference occurs when the practice schedule is random, because different skills are practiced in a random order, so there is more interference from other skills. Therefore, the correct answer is A) Blocked-Serial-Random, because this continuum ranges from low contextual interference (blocked practice) to high contextual interference (random practice).
