Does practice make perfect? Include in your response a discussion about massed vs. distributed practice, automaticity, and enactment
What will be an ideal response?
Practice is important at several stages of learning. First, massed practice (learn intensively at one time) allows for faster initial learning, but distributed practice (learning a little each day) is better for retention. Also, if students practice just long enough to learn something and then do no more, they are likely to forget much of what they have learned. However, if they continue to practice beyond the point where they can recall the answers, and thus develop automaticity, retention will increase. Performing a task, rather than just hearing about it or observing it, also improves learning.
