Abstract
In order for the student to be able to perform the proper and required manner, he must have the ability to mentally visualize the required skills, and this depends on the matching process. It is the process in which the new experience is adapted and modified with the experiences previously stored in the cognitive construction. The decrease in the level of individual’s psychological flow negatively affects the low level of performance, its decline, the weakness of focus and the loss of fluidity in practice. This tendency reveals a lot of positive thoughts after there was no control over negative thoughts, including the internal psychological state that makes the learner feel autistic and fully focused with what he is doing and the enthusiasm towards activities with a general sense of success in dealing with these activities. This is called psychological flow. This condition is related to the state of optimal learning, which Mihaly Shikzentemali described as a state of focus that rises to the level of absolute absorption.
