important factors preventing patients’ participation in everyday activities and limiting their vocational rehabilitation. Because the effectiveness of classic approaches, e.g., that developed by Bobath, has been found to be quite limited, there is a need for efficient motor rehabilitation approaches [1–5]. In this regard, data has accumulated indicating that repetitive massed practice of moveme...

INTRODUCTION Robotic therapy, with its unique advantages over a human therapist, is an appealing option to minimize patients’ recovery time. Massed practice and means of amplifying its positive effectsvia a robotic interface (i.e., error augmentation of the patient’s reaching trajectory) has been extensively studied. However, even with utilizing suchneuro-rehabilitation paradigms, therapy robot...

This essay illustrates five ways that Internet-based higher education can capitalize on fundamental principles of learning. Internet-based education can enable better mastery through distributed (shorter, more frequent) practice rather than massed (longer, less frequent) practice; it can optimize performance because it allows students to learn at their peak time of their day; it can deepen memo...

The authors performed a meta-analysis of the distributed practice effect to illuminate the effects of temporal variables that have been neglected in previous reviews. This review found 839 assessments of distributed practice in 317 experiments located in 184 articles. Effects of spacing (consecutive massed presentations vs. spaced learning episodes) and lag (less spaced vs. more spaced learning...

Thirty GRCH/15 tumors (a 1, 2, 5, 6-dibenzanthracene-induced chicken sarcoma) were examined in the light and the electron microscope. Associated with the sarcoma were two types of abnormal intranuclear lesions, one in the form of a vacuole, the other as an aggregate containing glycogen. In the electron microscope, one type of lesion observed showed an organized microfibrillar structure. Abnorma...

This study aims to determine the difference in effect of distributed practice and massed methods on backhand smash skills table tennis. research is experimental with type Quasi Experimental research. The design used this was a two-group pretest-posttest design. population were athletes from several tennis clubs total number 40 athletes. sampling technique technique, where all members are as sam...

Existing theories of competition with behavior-based price discrimination (BBPD, also known as based on purchase history), typically assume that consumer valuations are distributed uniformly. This assumption implies the availability BBPD creates a prisoner's dilemma in which firms worse off and consumers better equilibrium, relative to uniform pricing. In this paper, we consider wider class dis...
