Interleaving and Discomfort in Learning

Interleaving in learning involves switching between different exercises or topics just when learners are about to master a concept, preventing them from feeling too comfortable. This process introduces discomfort and keeps the brain engaged in learning, maximizing the efficiency of the learning process. By adding variety and not letting the brain settle into familiarity, learners can accelerate their learning and comprehension of complex subjects. This method challenges the traditional approach of focusing on one topic for an extended period and emphasizes the importance of introducing discomfort to enhance learning outcomes.
