jclerch — 2023-02-05 00:29:43 UTC

Steps to mastery of a skill: 1. acquisition (I did it once) 2. fluency (I can do it consistently) 3. maintenance (I can keep doing it) 4. transfer (I can use it in new ways) (Hanson, et al., 1978) and still true.

Fluency and maintenance depend on spaced retrieval practice, interleaving and metacognition.
