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...

Twenty-six sedentary, college-aged females were matched and randomly assigned to one of two groups. The massed group («=13) completed 15 maximal isometric elbow flexion strength trials in one session, while the distributed group («=13) performed five such contractions on three successive days. After a two-week and three month rest interval, both groups returned to perform another five maximal i...

The spacing effect refers to the robust finding that long-term memory is promoted when learning events are distributed in time rather than massed in immediate succession. The current study extended research on the spacing effect by examining whether spaced learning schedules can simultaneously promote multiple forms of learning, such as memory and generalization, in the context of an educationa...

Background and Study Aim. Basic forehand backhand technical skills are the main requirements that must be mastered in playing tennis. Physical condition intellectual intelligence were found to factors affect quality of On other hand, limited learning time, number teaching staff facilities classic challenges implementation learning. This study describes different effects massed distributed exerc...

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...
