"PSY 401 C: Peer Review for Chelsey"
(a)Progress #: 4

(b) Great job with making this more relevant to overlearning. Overall, you made this article really accessible for people!

(c)
 * You may want to change the introduction sentence to read “Overlearning is a pedagogical concept according to which newly acquired skills are practiced well beyond the point of initial mastery, leading to automaticity.”
 * Contemporary work
 * I am confused by the sentence: “The amount of overlearning also showed an effect of overlearning:” I think just using overlearning twice is confusing. Think about what effect means to the general population. You may want to make this less technical and more accessible to others.


 * Overlearning geography facts and word definitions
 * “After one week overlearners recalled more geography facts and word definitions than…” should read: “After one week, overlearners recalled more geography….”
 * Expand on the part “this effect gradually disappeared thereafter”


 * Overlearning mathematics:
 * what do you mean by “distributed practice”? Explain this more for this section.

(d)
 * Perhaps provide links to pages that can provide insight on terms such as “short-term retention” and “meta-analysis”

"PSY 401 C: Peer Review for Chelsey"
a. Progress= 4 b. I like that use of actual studies that relate to your article. Also, I think the sections are well organized.

c. Early studies section: You have a good amount of information about Ebbinghaus. in this section you should try to vary your sentences so that each sentece does begin with Ebbinghause

Contemporary work section: Great job finding a meta-analysis; however, is possible to use less techincal terms? I'm not sure how well someone who doesn't understand psychology would understand the meta-analysis.

For the subsection in contemporary work: For the geography study it may be helpful to add more information about the tasks and methodology of the experiment. I liked how you provided the information for the overlearning mathematics scenario.

& d. For the intro it could be helpful to gives examples of situations in which overlearning can occur. Also, what are the pros and cons of overlearning?

e. Readability= 4 F. Great job! Jamela Peterson (talk) 03:16, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
