The repetition of classical experiments: I. Starch's distribution of practice

Abstract

Under the original conditions, Starch's experiment, performed a number of years ago on the effects of the distribution of practice, was repeated. The general finding that shorter periods are more favorable for learning was confirmed. However, contrary to Starch's data, the superiority was not manifest in the early trials.
