Learning

Question 1

The learning curve

Answer 1

Very useful to know, can help predict and optimize learning process.
Hints of underlying mechanisms

Question 2

Formulas of learning

Answer 2

power law
p (t) = 1 - (t + 1) -u

Exponential law (true for easy tasks)
p (t) = 1 - e -ut

Actual
s-shaped curve, especially in difficult learning tasks
complex task average in a power function

Question 3

THE learning curve

Answer 3

just like forgetting, there is not THE learning curve. Context, complex and person dependent.

More interesting to find the underlying mechanism

Question 4

S-shapedness

Answer 4

The more its shaped like an S, the lower the learning rates in the Turkish study

So more with low learning rate and perceived complexity or difficulty is high

Learning rate = more individual

Complexity = more material dependent.
