- The pattern answers a recurring question that confronts any system that does the same thing many times — why does performance keep improving long after the obvious process changes have been made, and how can that improvement be forecast rather than merely hoped for?
This sourceLawrence Erlbaum. Establishes the power law of practice: performance time on a skill declines as a power function of accumulated practice trials.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not confirmed. The DOI recorded for this work did not resolve when it was last checked, so it is shown above but not linked. The citation may still be sound; the recorded identifier is not. Flagged for repair.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
