Learning Exercises
1. Using circuit guide, practice for 15 minutes each day for 10 days. After each 15-minute practice
session, wait 10 minutes and then perform a retention test. What does this performance tell you
about the rate and pattern of your learning for this circuits?
2. Prepare a table of overlearning schedules including four columns labeled “50%,” “100%,”
overlearning. Based upon what is known about the amount of overlearning optimally required
for promoting the long-term retention of different skills. List nine (9) skills in each column for
which that column’s overlearning percentage would be appropriate.
3. Select five different skills between which you believe positive transfer may occur, but you are
uncertain. Design an experiment for assessing whether there are transf er effects between the
five skills. After your experiment, which skills and how many trials each group performs, the
order in which skills are performed, and when and how performance is measured. For the
purposes of this exercise, what conclusion could you?
4. Select a skill in which you have an interest and then, describe under the appropriate columns
the various dimensions (perspective, goal, monitoring, corrections, source of enjoyment, and
gratification) Your descriptions should be specific examples for the skill you selected.
