true-- all I hope to gain, however, are indicators of why these recommendations could be of benefit (rather than making them up! ;-) thanks more challenges! joe but I will check out the Ebbinghous studies... -----Original Message----- From: MARTHA MAXWELL [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 1998 4:45 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Learning skills self-testing website The answer to you questions regardless of what they may be is "It depends" - on the subject as reading and study skills are discipline specific and vary with characteristics of the learner including such things as prior knowledge, amount of time spent, expectations, learning style, and many other independent variables. . Sure you can get some numbers, if that's all you want from studies like the old Ebbinghaus studies but remember they were on learning nonsense syllables. (and I suspect that's what some students consider their college learning assignments. ) Martha Maxwell
