Shebilske, Wayne L., Corrington, Kip and Jordan, Jeffrey A. (1994): Massed versus Distributed Practice in Complex Skill Acquisition. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 1215-1219.

“A training sequence on a complex video research task was distributed over 10 days or massed within two days. Measures of fatigue and confidence were taken. A final test battery given 1 week after acquisition consisted of retention tests, a test of resistance to interference, and a test of transfer. Trainees in the Distributed condition performed better throughout. Massed and Distributed trainees showed moderate levels of fatigue and did not differ from each other. Differences in confidence could not account for the results. Theories based on massing simple task acquisition within an hour are discussed as a framework for understanding and reducing suppression caused by massing complex tasks within days.”

Shebilske, Wayne L., Jordan, Jeffrey A., Arthur, Jr. Winfred and Regian, J. Wesley (1993): Combining a Multiple Emphasis on Components Protocol with Small Group Protocols for Training Complex Skills. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 1216-1220.

“An Active Interlocked Modeling (AIM) Dyadic protocol for training complex skills, an AIM Tetradic protocol, and an Individual Control protocol were tested alone and in combination with a Multiple Emphasis on Components (MEC) protocol creating 6 conditions for training a complex computer game. We randomly assigned 120 paid subjects to the six conditions. Total game score improved over 10-1 hr sessions for all conditions. Improvement rate replicated advantages previously reported for AIM Dyad, AIM Tetrad, and MEC over the Individual Control. The AIM Dyad with MEC was better than either the AIM Dyad or the Individual with MEC. The AIM Tetrad with MEC was worse than either the AIM Tetrad or the Individual with MEC. Similar patterns occurred on retention, transfer, and resistance to secondary task interference. We discuss implications for acquiring and automatizing attention control strategies through observational learning.”
