Repetition (learning method)
In learning methods (theory) and working methods (practice), repetition , also repetition or recapitulation , has the purpose of manifesting and perfecting what has been learned . The aim here is to strengthen the connections within the neural networks via which information is stored in the brain. Klaus Grawe compared this process with a beaten path , which becomes wider and wider due to its frequent use and which in the end represents a proverbial motorway . The fact that the Romans were at least aware of the effect of this process can be seen from the proverb Repetitio est mater studiorum (“Repetition is the mother of studies”), the origin of which is ascribed to the Roman poet Horace . As a teaching practice, the quaestio was common in scholasticism .
A variety of techniques and operations are based on this principle, including:
- Learn by heart
- Conditioning ( Pavlovian reflex , neuro-linguistic programming )
- Movement learning
- Repetition (rhetorical stylistic device)
- 4-step method
- Getting used to
- Dressage in animals
