Are You Smarter Than Mr. Waddles
Fall 2024 Midterm Leanne D.
Desirable difficulties are conditions of instruction that appear to create difficulties for the student, often slowing the rate of learning, and can actually optimize long-term retention and transfer. Ex. varying conditions of practice, where you study, can enhance recall at a later time. Ex. contextual interference where you interleave the practice and learning of information with other things to be learned and this enhances long-term learning and transfer. Ex. spacing practice (studying everyday for 25 minutes to prepare for the test next week) which is better for long-term retention. Research supports the spacing effect as studies have had participants memorize a list. The study found that participants could master their memory of items faster and more effectively if the repetition of items were spaced out at different intervals.
