Abstract
Recognizing the potential for order effects in blocked practice raises the possibility that some blocked orders may yield better retention and transfer than others. The present study examines the possibility that random practice is not unilaterally better than all orders of blocked practice using anticipation timing tasks. Undergraduate students (N=63) learned multiple timing tasks and were randomly assigned to one of seven groups. There were 6 blocked groups (all possible combinations of the three stimulus velocities) and 1 random group. All groups practiced 90 acquisition trials and after a 15min filled retention interval they performed 12 retention and 6 transfer trials. Contextual interference effects were found for far (extrapolated) transfer, however, for near (interpolated) transfer, some blocked orders were more consistent than the random order.
