Information Encoding in Training for Efficient Access in Memory.

Abstract

Coding processes involved in storing and retrieving information in event, simple associative, and serial associative learning have been examined in experiments and literature reviews. A new technique for identifying and analyzing trainee-determined coding units in serial learning has been developed, and has shown that serial learning cannot be represented by traditional continuous-process theories, but instead must be treated by an organizational model, probably a hierarchy of codes. A number of studies have extended and refined the hypothesis that encoding variability during learning, as contrasted with constant encoding over repetitions, is beneficial for long-term retention.
