“Basically, what we say is, yes you do have to do the task, just not for the whole time. The main result is that if you practice for 20 minutes, and then you are passively exposed to stimuli for 20 minutes, you learn as if you have been practicing for 40 minutes. You can cut the effort in half, and still yield the same benefit. This finding could be important for clinical training programs, such as the ones that attempt to treat language-based learning disorders.”
hah thats good news for some i suppose
ReplyDeletethat's like how when you are emmersed in a language you have to pick it up at a faster rate because you are forced to. Just practicing a languagne in a class room really won't do much unless it's put into practice.
ReplyDeletethat makes isnce since we learn a language so much fater when we are fully emersed in it.
