What is Interleaved Learning?
Interleaved learning is a cognitive strategy backed by decades of research that involves mixing different topics during study sessions instead of focusing on one topic at a time (blocked practice).
Research-Backed Benefits
Benefit | Improvement |
Long-term retention | Up to 43% better |
Concept discrimination | Significantly improved |
Knowledge transfer | Enhanced application |
Problem-solving | More flexible approaches |
"Interleaving is one of the most powerful learning strategies available, yet remains underutilized." — Rohrer & Taylor, 2007
