Learning to learn
Also called learning set
Definition
A gradual improvement in how quickly someone masters new tasks after learning many earlier tasks of the same type, as if a general skill of learning that kind of task were acquired.
Example from a session
After mastering dozens of picture-matching sets, a learner masters each new set in far fewer trials than at the start.
