- Mnemonic strategy training
- Prospective memory training
- Metamemory training
what is errorless learning? (compensatory)
a method of instruction that reduces errors in the acquisition phase (provide sufficient practice
What is spaced retrieval?
-Can be particularly effective for learning and adaptation. —The individual practices successfully recalling information over progressively longer intervals of time.
