Improvement And The Distribution Of Practice is a book written by Robert Alexander Cummins and first published in 1919. The book explores the concept of practice and its effect on skill acquisition and improvement. Cummins argues that the way in which practice is distributed, or spaced out over time, can significantly impact the rate and quality of skill development. The book is divided into two parts. The first part presents a theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between practice and skill improvement, drawing on research from psychology and related fields. Cummins discusses the importance of repetition, feedback, and motivation in the learning process, and explores various models for distributing practice sessions.In the second part of the book, Cummins presents a series of experiments designed to test his theoretical framework. These experiments involve participants learning various tasks, such as memorizing lists of words or performing motor skills, under different practice conditions. The results of these experiments provide empirical support for Cummins' theories about the optimal distribution of practice.Overall, Improvement And The Distribution Of Practice is a seminal work in the field of skill acquisition and motor learning. Its insights and findings continue to inform research and practice in these areas today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
