Abstract
A 2 X 3 factorial design, with 6 groups of 5 Ss, was used to assess the effects of distribution of practice (0 sec., 12 min.) and trials/problem (6, 8, 10) on acquisition of a position-reversal learning set. The analysis of trend showed: (a) progressive improvement for all groups (p<.001), (b) con-stant rate of reversal learning for all groups, and (c) significant dif-ferences between overall means (p<.001). A 2nd analysis showed superiority of massed over spaced practice (p< .01) but no significant difference attributable to trials/problem (p> .05).Keywords
