Abstract
Groups were trained to a moderate or high level of proficiency on 2 perceptual-motor tasks then retrained after no-practice intervals up to 2 years in duration. " . . . absolute loss in level of proficiency was apparently not affected by amount of training and was greater the longer the no-practice interval. A greater proportion of proficiency was lost by groups receiving less training and groups receiving longer no-practice intervals. Retraining to the earlier level of proficiency took more trials the longer the no-practice interval and the greater the amount of training."
