Effect of overlearning on retention

Article Abstract:

The effectiveness of overlearning in enhancing performance has been acknowledged by researchers within the training community for years. In spite of this general consensus, the empirical basis for this claim is often not clear. This article presents a meta-analysis of the effects of overlearning on retention. Results indicate that overlearning produces a significant effect on retention of moderate overall magnitude and that the effect of overlearning on retention is moderated by the degree of overlearning, type of task, and length of retention period.

The trailblazer: for the first time in half a century, the Forest Service is standing up to Big Timber and its allies in Congress - all because of a quiet bureaucrat named Mike Dombeck

Article Abstract:

Mike Dombeck became the director of the US Forest Service in 1997 and found himself in the middle of an inefficiently-run government agency and political chaos with the timber industry. He realized that controversy followed the troubled agency. His experience with the Bureau of Land Management, however, prepared him for pursuing policies that restored balance to land use and environmental protection.
