Two experiments investigated age differences in the encoding of associative information during a speeded naming task. In both experiments, semantically unrelated prime-target word pairs were presented 4 times, in either massed or spaced fashion, during the learning phase. An immediate or delayed test trial was presented following the fourth presentation. In Experiment 1, participants named both...

CO In 1940 Hcvlsnd (3) published a it in which retention of serial nonsense lists was measured after 2 min., 10 min., and 24 hr. In one case lists were learned by biassed practice (6-sec. intertrial interval) and in another by distributed practice (2min. intertrial interval). The results clearly showed that retention as measured by both recall and releaming was better following distributed prac...

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness and efficiency teaching meaning community signs with massed trial arrangements (MTA) embedded (ETA) using constant time delay intervention. intervention was used two different arrangements; MTA versus ETA. conduct four boys Autism Spectrum Disorder, aged between 44-64 months. An adapted alternating design used. were equally effective in term...

How to distribute the duration of practice and rest at each session is a matter of concern in organizing the practice of motor skills. In this connection, most studies have introduced the nature of motor task as a determining factor and suggested that if the discrete skills are practiced according to massed method and continued skills according to distributed method, then better results can be ...
