Episode notes
Interleaving vs. Repetition
- Interleaving, varying practice, is more effective than repetitive drills.
- Randomizing challenges improves actual skills needed in real-world scenarios.
Baseball Practice Analogy
- Baseball players practicing with mixed pitches (curveballs and fastballs) perform better.
- This is because mixed practice helps develop the skills needed in a real game scenario.
Fluency Illusion

- True learning occurs when we constantly adapt and guess, like with interleaving.
