What is robust learning?
Learning is robust if the acquired knowledge or skill meets at least one of the following three criteria: • Retention: It is retained for long periods of time, at least for days and even for years. • Transfer: It transfers, that is, it can be used in situations that differ significantly from the situations present during instruction. • Future Learning: It accelerates future learning. That is, when related instruction is presented in the future, this knowledge allows them to learn more quickly and effectively learn from it.
