Conditioning in non-human animals:
- Long-term habituation of a defensive withdrawal reflex in Aplysia

Verbal learning:
- Maintenance of foreign language vocabulary and the spacing effect

Motor learning:
- Contextual interference effects on the acquisition, retention, and transfer of a motor skill

Learning educational material:
- An information-processing analysis of college teaching
- Self-regulated spacing in a massive open online course is related to better learning
