The most efficient distribution of practice or study sessions varies with the kind of material being learned. Each person has to find the best distribution of practice that fits him and his task. Follow these two guides in spacing your learning periods:
最有效率的練習或學習時段分布因學習內容不同而異。最適合本人及其所學內容的練習時段分布得由各人自己摸索。如何間隔學習時段，可遵循以下兩條原則：
1.Each practice should be long enough to warm you up and to allow the peak of your present skill to be reached.
1.每次練習的時間應足以使你進入狀態，并使你達到目前技能的最高點。
2.It should be halted when fatigue, boredom, error, or slowness appear.
2.出現疲勞、厭倦、差錯，或速度減慢時，應停止練習。
Learning is more efficient when it is fun, less efficient when it is drudgery. Practice periods can safely be made longer if the learner is excited about learning. Learning is often more effective in a group, since individual progress then acquires some features of a game or contest. The clever teacher, or expert job trainer, has the knack of arousing the learner's interest to the point of actual excitement. The ambitious individual often lets his ambition provide the excitement. Keeping score on oneself gives some of this game spirit to the single learner. People usually master a sport such as golf or bowling quickly largely because they naturally keep tabs on how they're doing. Score keeping is easy for some kinds of learning, such as typing speed. These scores can be charted week after week to show one's learning curve, or rate of progress in mastering the subject. As for language learning, it may seem more difficult to keep a record, but there are still ways to find an indication of your progress. The expanded vocabulary, as well as the improved reading speed and accuracy,will be a record that can encourage you to get over the boredom.
學得開心，效率就高；學得很苦，效率就低。一個人學習興致高的時候，練習時間可以延長而不致降低效率。小組學習效果往往更好，因為，這時個人的進步就帶有某種游戲或競技的特點。聰明的教師或經驗豐富的職業培訓人員懂得如何激發學生的興趣，使其真正興奮起來。有抱負的人常常以自己的雄心壯志來激起這種興奮。給自己記分能給單獨的學習者帶來一些游戲的精神。人們通常很快就能學會諸如打高爾夫球或保齡球之類的運動，這主要是因為他們自覺地密切關注自身的進步。對有些學習項目，比如打字速度，記分是很容易的。每周記分可用圖表畫出，這樣就能看出一個人在學習一門課程時的學習曲線，或進步速度。至于語言學習，要記錄進步似乎較難，但還是有辦法顯示出你的進步情況。詞匯量的擴大，以及閱讀速度和準確性的提高，均可記錄下來，它會幫你克服厭倦。
