Primes

• Interleaving
  • Interleaving is the structural pattern of alternating among multiple distinct item-types, tasks, or data streams within a single sequence rather than completing one type fully before starting the next, the latter arrangement being called blocking.

    This sourceDefines interleaved (mixed) vs. blocked practice as a pure reordering of identical work, distinct from mere shuffling, and shows interleaving improves long-term retention by forcing the learner to re-select the appropriate procedure for each problem.
