If a fatigue condition depresses practice performance but not retention test
performance, then fatigue would be called a
A. learning variable.
B. performance variable.
C. performance and learning variable.
D. practice variable. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔B. performance variable.
Suppose you did an experiment that compared the effect of two practice
conditions (A & B) on learning a skill. The results showed that during
practice, performance for condition B was better than for A. But, on the
transfer test, A was better than B. What should you conclude about which
practice condition is better for learning?
A. Condition A is better for learning.
B. Condition B is better for learning.
C. Neither A nor B is better for learning.
