Raoul practiced a skill for 30 seconds and then rested for 5-seconds between trials. scarlett practiced the same skill for 30 seconds and rested for 40-seconds between trials. which of the following best describes their practice situation: a. both are in a massed practice conditionb. raoul's practice is massed; scarlett's is distributedc. raoul's practice is distributed; scarlett's is massedd. both are in a distributed practice condition

The answer is D.

Explanation:

Massed practice is a method involving continuous practice of the given taks with no rest periods in between practice sessions.

Distributed or spaced practice, as the name implies, allows the learner to have breaks to rest in between practice sessions which makes for a better learning experience in certain cases because it allows the brain to rest and allows the memory to process the information.

In the example given in the question, according to the definitions, both Raoul and Scarlett are in a distributed/spaced practice condition even though they have vary small periods of practice and rest sessions.

I hope this answer helps.

yes? sounds right, but you didn’t ask a question.
