Not illustrated. 1921 Excerpt: ...in fixing the material. Myers has studied the former of these factors. To 332 subjects he gave four series of tests, presenting orally ten words in each series. He found a decided gain in final recall as a result of intervening recall without re-presentation of the stimuli (The effects of recall were greater if recall took place five minutes after presentation than when recall was immediate. This is in harmony with Jost's law--that repetitions have greater value for the older associations. Guillet showed the value of presenting matter again two to five days after first presentation. Both recall and re-presentation are valuable. Which we should use at any particular stage of learning depends upon the kind of material and how far learning has progressed. As long as learning is uncertain and doubtful, re-presentation is preferable. When recall is easily possible, recall is preferable. The importance for permanent fixation of re-presentation and recall can not be overestimated. In the practical work of studying our lessons, we should learn the material of the lesson; then after an interval of some hours go over the matter again; then after another interval go over the matter in the process of recall; then with longer and longer intervals go over the matter again and again, using representation or recall as the conditions demand. In poor learning, as Myers has pointed out, the wrong elements become coupled together in recall. We should not try to recall when this is likely to happen. The remedy for poor learning is re-presentation, drill, better organisation. Position in Series.--Numerous experiments have shown that in committing to memory a series of words, letters, or other items, the first ones and the last ones are learned first.
