11.3. How to Leverage Practice: Overview
In our first edition, we showed evidence that practice should be job-relevant, distributed throughout the learning environment, and that more practice leads to improved performance. We update and extend these recommendations with the following guidelines:
Principle 1: Mirror the job.
Principle 2: Provide explanatory corrective feedback.
Principle 3: Determine the amount of practice based on job performance requirements; distribute practice throughout the learning environment.
Principle 4: Apply the multimedia principles to the design of your practice questions.
Principle 5: Transition from examples to practice gradually via fading.
