Items representing different categories will be represented alternately to the learner. 

More effective learning strategy because of greater temporal spacing. 


Interleaved Study


Items representing the same category will be represented together to the learner. 



Blocked Study 


Successive or simultaneous presentation of information from the same or different categories can impact the learning outcome to various degrees. 


Temporal Juxtaposition


The time gap between which a piece of information is repeated can affect the result of inductive category learning. 

Longer periods of delay can benefit category learning.

Information in inductive category learning can be organized in different sequences that might be based on information variability, relations, and level of difficulty.
