Description

Nagoya University Graduate Student Showcase: This study examines the immediate and retention effects of task repetition on oral fluency by manipulating repetition intervals and cognitive demands of tasks. Employing a 2 × 2 design, participants are assigned to massed or distributed repetition conditions and further divided into open-task and closed-task conditions. The massed repetition group repeats the task six times at a 15-minute interval, whereas the distributed repetition group do so once a week.

Abstract section 1: Relevance

This study examines the immediate and retention effects of task repetition on oral fluency by manipulating repetition intervals and cognitive demands of tasks.

Abstract section 2: Contribution/research questions

This study aims to investigate how repetition schedules and task types interact to influence the development and retention of L2 oral fluency from the perspective of automatization.

Abstract section 3: Content/method

A 2 × 2 design manipulates repetition schedule (massed vs. distributed) and task type (open vs. closed). Changes in oral fluency and automatization are assessed through task performance and maze tasks across pre-, post-, and delayed tests.

Abstract section 4: Outcomes/results

The findings are expected to clarify the role of repetition timing and task characteristics in facilitating oral fluency development and long-term retention.
