Synopsis
Excerpt from Five Methods of Serial Rote Learning: A Comparative Study
When one is first given the problem of learning a new task call ing for a definite or prescribed order, the question naturally arises as to what is the most efficient method. There are usually many ways of learning a given task. The selection of a method depends upon the learner's intelligence, training, interest and special apti tude. It also depends upon incentive and conditions prevailing at the time. To compare methods of learning, conditions must be made fairly constant throughout the tests of such methods.
When errors occur in learning tests one can deal with them in various ways. For instance after making an error the learner can I. At once start over again without correcting the error.
II. GO back one step before correcting the error. III. Proceed without correcting the error. IV. At once stop and correct the error before going on with the learning. V. Deliberately repeat the mistake to emphasize the error so that it may be avoided In the future.

Five Methods of Serial Rote Learning: A Comparative Study (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book compares five distinct methods of learning serial rote material: starting over, going back one step, not correcting errors, correcting errors as they occur, or repeating the error. The authorās experiment, conducted on children, tested each method on two tasks: a punch board maze and a rational learning test involving numbers and letters. The results showed that starting over again on making an error was the most efficient method, significantly outperforming the others in terms of mean errors. The book also examines the intercorrelations between methods, variability in performance, and the ranking of methods. It explores factors such as practice effects and transfer effects, which are inherent to the rotation method used. The author concludes that the method of starting over again on making an error is superior for learning serial rote material, both motor and verbal, and could have applications in school work and other settings requiring such learning. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334323676_0
