- In learning and skill acquisition, competence grows fastest mid-curve, when there is enough scaffolding to build on but still room to improve.
This sourceReports two foreign-vocabulary learning experiments yielding sigmoidal (S-shaped) skill-acquisition curves — slow start, rapid mid-curve improvement, decelerating plateau — most pronounced for unfamiliar material and slower learners.

Murre finds S-shaped vocabulary learning curves, so growth is steepest mid-curve, but he attributes this to scoring and thresholds, not scaffolding or room to improve.
“I would not argue that S-shaped curves occur because the learning proceeds at first slowly, then speeds up, and finally slows down”
- In learning and skill acquisition, competence grows fastest mid-curve, when there is enough scaffolding to build on but still room to improve.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
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.
