"Research indicates that repetition and distributed practice effectively fires and rewires the brain, thereby strengthening memory and improving learning potential. This approach aims to develop and refine skills, knowledge, insights, and understanding. Repetition involves intentionally practising the same action, skill, or information, which research shows can create more complex neural connections, reinforce, and enhance memory, learning, skills, and knowledge through consistent repetition and distributed practice."
"Distributed practice involves spreading these repetitions across different times instead of focusing them into one session. The research suggests that this method may also develop a deeper consolidation of skills, insights, and knowledge, and, importantly, enhance understanding, thereby achieving the potential for mastery of the task in question (Cepeda et al., 2006). Education From an educational perspective, this process of repetition and distributed practice, according to research, helps build the neurological, cognitive, and intellectual foundation in which literacy and numeracy development, insights, and understanding can be enhanced."
Repetition and distributed practice strengthen and rewire neural pathways, improving memory consolidation and learning potential. Repetition involves intentionally practising the same action, skill, or information to create complex neural connections and reinforce learning. Distributed practice spaces repetitions over time to enhance consolidation and understanding, supporting mastery (Cepeda et al., 2006). Explicit teaching supports development of reading and writing skills. Sequence learning matters across all domains. Early schooling years are critical for applying these principles to build literacy, numeracy, critical thinking, and higher-order skills, requiring sustained motivation and commitment.
