“What is particularly interesting about these practice order effects is the sense of fluidity and apparent feeling of learning, which accompanies people who practice under repetitive, drill-like, blocked practice conditions. Fast gains in practice give the impression that learning is taking place, even though faster acquisition is not necessarily good for long-term learning. When participants who study under blocked conditions are asked how well they will do at a future time, they show optimism in their retention capability, compared to people who study under random conditions. This sense of learning which accompanies rapid gains in practice is despite data gathered from retention tests, which show the opposite pattern”.

Similarly, if a CEO keeps the following lessons in mind, she will maintain the proper focus when hiring, training, and building her culture.
