When audiovisual correspondence disturbs visual processing.

abstract：:The contextual interference hypothesis proposes that when learning multiple skills, massing practice leads to better within-day acquisition, whereas random practice leads to better retention and transfer. In this experiment, we examined the effect of practice pattern on the learning, consolidation (retention), and tra...
