Two basketball players want to improve their 3-point shooting with a weekly routine. The first player takes 100
shots from a different location on the court each day Monday to Friday (e.g. 100 shots from the left corner on the
first day, 100 shots from the wing on the second day, 100 shots from the top of the arc on the third day, and so
on). The second player takes 20 shots from 5 locations{" "}
<em>every day</em>. So both players take 100 shots per day, totaling 500 shots each week. Which routine do you think
would be more effective?

<h2>Varied practice versus massed practice</h2>
<p>
Is massed practice–focusing study on one topic for a concentrated time period–effective? No. Learning gains are
transitory.
</p>
<p>
Varied practice is more effective than massed practice and is consolidated in a different part of the brain that
encodes higher-order, more flexible learning.
