Proactive and Retroactive Facilitation of Long-Term Retention by Curriculum Continuity.
Arzi, Hanna J.; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v22 n3 p369-88 Fall 1985

The results implied that a program composed of a hierarchical sequence of learning units is superior to a discontinuous array of discrete courses. (Author/BS)
