Overlearning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Overlearning is a pedagogical concept according to which newly acquired skills should be practiced well beyond the point of initial mastery, leading to automaticity.

The Yerkes-Dodson law predicts that overlearning can improve performance in states of high arousal.[1]
