In "Whole Vs. Part Methods in Motor Learning," this dissertation examines how different teaching approaches affect learning across both minds and bodies. It contrasts the effects of learning a motor task as a whole versus in parts, using a carefully designed maze to compare humans and rats under similar conditions.
The study frames a practical question: can the way we structure practice change how efficiently people learn motor tasks? By testing several learning methods on maze navigation, the work aims to map which approaches reduce errors, save time, and improve long-term retention. The findings highlight how modified part methods can outperform simple part or whole methods under specific conditions, and how transfer and reinforcement shape mastery in both species.
- How “whole” and “part” learning differ in motor tasks and why it matters for instruction.
- How the maze setup tests learning under controlled, repeatable conditions for humans and animals.
- Which modified part methods show the strongest learning advantages across groups.
- What the results suggest about applying comparative findings to real classrooms or training settings.
Ideal for readers interested in psychology, education, and the science of how practice shape skill development.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
