Spaced and interleaved practices have been identified as effective learning strategies which
sometimes are conflated as a single strategy and at other times treated as distinct. Learning …

Repeated information is often perceived as more truthful than new information. This finding
is known as the illusory truth effect, and it is typically thought to occur because repetition …

Education ideally should induce learning that lasts for years and more. A wealth of research
indicates that, to achieve long-lasting retention, information must be practiced and/or tested …

BACKGROUND: Non-invasive brain stimulation enables the induction of neuroplasticity in
humans, however, with so far restricted duration of the respective cortical excitability …

The declarative/procedural (DP) model posits that the learning, storage, and use of
language critically depend on two learning and memory systems in the brain: declarative …

Practice takes many forms, but they all entail repeated learning opportunities. The
effectiveness of practice is well known to depend on how these learning opportunities are …

Memory systems select from environmental stimuli those to encode permanently. Repeated
stimuli separated by timed spaces without stimuli can initiate Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) …

Repeated exposure to a visual stimulus is associated with corresponding reductions in
neural activity, particularly within visual cortical areas. It has been argued that this …

A practical, classroom-oriented guide to best-practice teaching. Learning specialist Leslie
Hart once wrote that designing educational experiences without knowledge of the brain is …

Recognizing familiar faces and learning new faces play an important role in social cognition.
However, the underlying neural computational mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we …
