Synopsis

This book presents a collection of experimental research studies of the author and other scholars concerning the most effective ways to practice new information. The studies examine whether equal distribution of practice time or a gradually decreasing distribution is better for both newly learned material and previously learned skills. The text explores the impact of factors such as the amount of practice time, length of breaks between practice sessions, age of the learner, initial ability, content being learned, practice method, and mental state of the learner. It also discusses the relationship between amount of practice and the level of improvement, the relationship between initial ability and improvement, and the effect of practice and retention on forgetting rate. The findings provide insights into the effectiveness of different practice methods and the understanding of learning processes.
