Subclaims¶

q3 i? During training, RP-Sham participants showed lower total response time (better performance) than IP-Sham participants across all training blocks. → Taewon Kim 2024

Evidence¶

Taewon Kim 2024¶

Taewon Kim, Hakjoo Kim, Benjamin A. Philip & David L. Wright. (2024). M1 recruitment during interleaved practice is important for encoding, not just consolidation, of skill memory. npj Science of Learning 9, 77. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-024-00290-2

q3 · i? · causal · r2

In the randomized experiment (54 right-handed undergraduates, 18/group), a 2 (Group: IP-Sham, RP-Sham) × 9 (Block) repeated-measures ANOVA on total response time showed "a signi ficant main effect of group", with higher TT for IP-Sham across all training blocks.

"It revealed a signi ficant main effect of group, F (1, 272) = 30.60, p < .0001, ηp 2 = 0.1), resulting from higher TT for the IP-Sham participants compared to their RP-Sham counterparts for all training blocks"

• During training, real stimulation at either PMd yields superior performance on almost all blocks, and RP-sham reduces total time faster than IP-sham — related
• Interleaved practice produces better long-term retention than repetitive practice via offline gains at 6 h and 24 h — related
• Anodal tDCS at left PMd, but not right PMd, during repetitive practice produces sleep-related offline gain similar to interleaved practice — related
