@Linda Hulteen — Great question and apologies for the slow reply. Students practiced with the flashcards on their own but had a booklet where they could make a check mark after each practice round. The study didn’t test different frequencies or dosages. More details on the experiment here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/acp.4141?campaign=wolearlyview (see section 2.4)

When it says they practiced their flashcards, did they do it in on their own or with a partner? Would it be ok to do this every day instead of 3 times a week, or does that not improve the outcome? Thanks in advance for clarifying.

Great information- This lines up with many of the things we are working with teachers on in the district I am at.
