Overview

Effectiveness of spaced retrieval practice for mathematical learning

Projects

Spacing out learning and making sure that information is actively retrieved from long term memory are two powerful ways in which learning can be optimised. Initially this research will look at the role material complexity plays in the efficacy of spaced retrieval practice for mathematical learning.
