Info
Interleaved practice involves mixing different skills or topics within a single study session, while varied practice focuses on performing the same skill in different settings and contexts. Both techniques contrast with blocked practice (focusing on one topic at a time) and are effective learning strategies, as they mimic real-world unpredictability and force the brain to differentiate between concepts, leading to more durable learning and better Long-Term Retention.
Learning about more than one thing at a time and by switching between topics regularly we increase our learning ability. This method allows our brain to create connections by expanding our context.
Spacing out learning also gives your brain time to store the information and by continuously Recalling Information you gain a benefit of strengthening that knowledge.
Our brains are made for multitasking.
