Abstract
Data are summarized for 193 Ss in 4 groups printing the alphabet upside down and backwards under varying conditions of distribution of practice. Group 1 practiced 60 sec., and rested 5 sec.; group 2, 60 sec. and 30 sec.; group 3, 30 sec. and 5 sec.; and group 4, 30 sec. and 30 sec. The two groups with shorter practice periods start significantly higher. Performance curves for groups with rest periods of the same length parallel each other. The advantage of the groups with longer rest periods cumulates during practice. Results support the hypothesis "that the joint effects of work and rest are the simple summation of the two separate effects." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
