Subclaims¶

q1 i? Practice curves in both computation and reasoning would not differ materially from the learning curves of Bryan and Harter and Book. → Locke 1913

Evidence¶

Locke 1913¶

Locke, L. L. (1913). Inspector Winch's experiments on transfer. https://www.google.com/books/search?q=%22Inspector+Winch%27s+Experiments+on+Transfer%22

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Theoretical argument in a commentary on Winch's experiment, not a measured result. The author assumes practice curves in computation and reasoning 'would not differ materially from the learning curves' of Bryan and Harter and Book.

"It is probably not unfair to assume that practice curves in both computation and reasoning would not differ materially from the learning curves of Bryan and Harter, Book et al."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• In natural learning, elemental and higher-order habits develop together, so the most economic method is to practice with the highest-order habits possible — related
• Learning-curve plateaus were caused by learners' failure to overcome specific difficulties at critical stages, not by the order in which habits developed — related
• Interest as well as association may partly account for the correlation between accuracy in computation and reasoning — related
• Individual learning curves rise by irregular increments with occasional losses, with plateau-like periods attributed to changes in method and waning interest — related
