q3 i? Permitting individuals to practice a perceptual motor task between learning experiences did not prove to be an aid to learning, and concurrent practice was not found to be an aid. → RESEARCH ABSTRACTS 163 1955

q3 · i? · causal · r?

From the film repetition experiments; the abstract reports neither practice between demonstrations nor concurrent practice aided learning of the perceptual-motor knot-tying task.

"Permitting individuals to prac- tice a perceptual motor task between learning experiences did not prove to be an aid to learning. Concurrent practice was not found to be an aid to learning."
