Humans can learn to perform multiple tasks in succession over the lifespan (“continual”
learning), whereas current machine learning systems fail. Here, we investigated the …

How do humans and other animals learn new tasks? A wave of brain recording studies has
investigated how neural representations change during task learning, with a focus on how …

This article was originally published by Scientific American. The text in this file is a pre-print
version of the final article that was published in the Mind Matters section of Scientific …

The effects of practice schedule on learning a complex judgment task were investigated. In
Experiment 1, participants' judgment accuracy on a retention test was higher after a random …

Increasing contextual interference (CI) during practice benefits learning, making it a
desirable difficulty. For example, interleaved practice (IP) of motor sequences is generally …

This chapter describes principles for the design of training of complex cognitive tasks that
pose relatively great challenges to the cognitive capacity of the trainee. Using the theoretical …

Health profession educators have identified auscultation skill as a learning need for health
professional students. This article explores the application of cognitive load theory (CLT) to …

Introduction Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) certification is required for
general surgery. The recommended practice for learning FLS is to practice tasks one at a …

Face à des situations d'apprentissage de nombreux processus cognitifs peuvent être mis en
œuvre par les apprenants en vue de créer de nouvelles traces mnésiques (mémorisation …

Background The contextual interference effect suggests that the random practice of multiple-
tasks is more beneficial for the retention and transfer of the learning as compared to blocked …
