An experiment with the number maze as a measure of learning

Abstract

The investigation was conducted with 32 students on a "number maze" consisting of over 400 two-digit combinations in which the task was to draw a continuous line connecting 60 numbers. Records were obtained over a period of 30 days with 2 trials per day for each subject. The scores were based upon the sum of the number combinations included in the pattern for each trial. "The curve agrees in all essentials with those found in other studies on the subject of practice as a means of improvement in learning." (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
