Within-row spacing effect on individual corn plant yield
… shown that modest non-uniformity of corn plant spacing has small, negative effects on grain yield. The extent to which this influence of distance to adjoining plants is due to compensatory yield adjustments is not known. In 2011 and 2012, high density stands in 76 cm rows were hand thinned to 74 …

Learning style, modal preference & the spacing effect in an online project management training programme.
… organisations. However identifying and using effective (maximise retention / recall) and efficient (minimise time to learn) learning practices is often a challenge. This thesis reports the findings of a longitudinal study consisting of naturalistic observations of a real-life adult online …

Just a reminder: Reminding influences understanding
… analogy, and basic memory phenomena such as the spacing effect. However, little research has addressed their role in interpretation and understanding. The current experiment explores that possibility by testing whether reminding caused by semantic and contextual cues can bias the interpretation …

Identifying and characterizing subpopulations in massive open online courses
… inspired by the phenomenon widely known as the "spacing effect," I look at how students choose to spend their time in 20 HarvardX MOOCs in order to identify observational evidence for the benefits of spaced practice in educational settings. While controlling for the eect of total time on-site, it …

Optimization of Pile Reinforced Slopes Using Finite Element Analyses
<p>Piles have proven to be an effective means of stabilizing active landslides as well as in marginally stable slopes. Many practical empirical design and analysis methods of slope stability and piled-slope stability have been proposed. However, the solutions of analysis and design methods proposed …

The Effects of Frequency of Testing on College Students in a Principles of Marketing Course
This study was designed to determine if college students perform differently when they are tested more frequently than less frequently. The purpose of this research study was: (a) to determine if there is a difference in achievement between students given weekly tests (experimental group) and …

Investigating the effect of spaced versus massed practice on vocabulary retention in the EFL classroom
The expression ‘spacing effect’ refers to a commonly observed finding that spacing learning over a period of time leads to better retention than massing learning in a single session. The present study for the first time experimentally compared the relative effectiveness of spaced practice and …
