Similarity matters: A meta-analysis of interleaved learning and its moderators.

M Brunmair, T Richter - Psychological bulletin, 2019 - psycnet.apa.org
An interleaved presentation of items (as opposed to a blocked presentation) has been
proposed to foster inductive learning (interleaving effect). A meta-analysis of the interleaving …

Complementary learning systems within the hippocampus: a neural network modelling approach to reconciling episodic memory with statistical learning

AC Schapiro, NB Turk-Browne… - … of the Royal …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org

A systematic review of interleaving as a concept learning strategy

J Firth, I Rivers, J Boyle - Review of Education, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
A systematic review was conducted into the effect of interleaving the order of examples of
concepts in terms of both memory of items and transfer to new items. This concept has …

Curriculum learning for human compositional generalization

RB Dekker, F Otto… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Generalization (or transfer) is the ability to repurpose knowledge in novel settings. It is often
asserted that generalization is an important ingredient of human intelligence, but its extent …

Comparing continual task learning in minds and machines

T Flesch, J Balaguer, R Dekker, H Nili… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
Humans can learn to perform multiple tasks in succession over the lifespan (“continual”
learning), whereas current machine learning systems fail. Here, we investigated the …

Modelling continual learning in humans with Hebbian context gating and exponentially decaying task signals

T Flesch, DG Nagy, A Saxe… - PLoS computational …, 2023 - journals.plos.org
Humans can learn several tasks in succession with minimal mutual interference but perform

The sequence of study changes what information is attended to, encoded, and remembered during category learning.

PF Carvalho, RL Goldstone - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2017 - psycnet.apa.org

sequences as potentially beneficial for learning in different contexts and with different …

Interleaved practice in foreign language grammar learning: A field study.

J Schweppe, A Lenk-Blochowitz, M Pucher… - Journal of …, 2025 - psycnet.apa.org
Interleaving is an effective strategy to improve lasting learning. The idea is to practice
