Efficacy of spaced learning in adaptation of optokinetic response

Abstract Introduction The superiority of spaced training, in which repeated training sessions are given with resting intervals, over massed training in learning efficacy has been well established. However, longer duration of total training time has been required for spaced training than massed train...

description Abstract Introduction The superiority of spaced training, in which repeated training sessions are given with resting intervals, over massed training in learning efficacy has been well established. However, longer duration of total training time has been required for spaced training than massed training because spacing intervals intervene between training sessions in spaced training. Thus, the learning efficacy may not be simply compared between spaced and massed training in terms of “time efficiency.” The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of spaced and massed training using adaptation of horizontal optokinetic reflex (hOKR) in mice. Methods Training paradigms were categorized into seven groups according to the duration of spacing interval, keeping total duration of hOKR training including spacing almost equal in all training paradigms. Results The amount of short‐term hOKR gain increase immediately after the 60 min hOKR training was not significantly different among seven training paradigms. The hOKR adaptation was still in progress during a spacing interval, and the increment in hOKR gain tended to be greater with the longer spacing interval. The increase in hOKR gain was maintained until 48 hr after the end of training in both massed and spaced training. Conclusion The short‐term learning effect was not significantly different among training paradigms regardless of spacing interval in hOKR adaptation, which suggests that the spacing effect is robust enough to overcome the shortage of optokinetic training cycles in hOKR adaptation.
