Tailby and Haslam state that “Implicit learning is well served under errorless learning conditions, as by eliminating errors during learning the strongest response will be the correct response and this would be the only one reinforced.” 69 The second theory proposes that the benefits of errorless learning are supported by residual explicit memory as opposed to implicit processes.

A group of 48 native German speakers (29 female, 19 male; age range = 18 – 30 years) were recruited from the student population of Saarland University. Informed consent was required, payment was provided at a rate of €8/h or course credit, and participants were debriefed after the experiment. A 2 × 2 mixed design was employed with cue–target constr...
Word pairs were 60 weakly associated semantic pairs, each comprising two German nouns with a range of 4–11 letters in length. The strengths of associations for 40 of the pairs were quantified using the Noun Associates for German database (Melinger & Weber, 2006). This database represents the three associate responses provided by 50 native German sp...
Each testing session comprised a study, distractor and test phase and lasted approximately 40 min. The distractor task was an automated version of Unsworth’s Ospan task (Unsworth, Heitz, Schrock, & Engle, 2005). This task was included both to maintain a meaningful interval (15 – 20 min) between study and test and to address the possibility that the...
Participants responded correctly on an average of .78 (2.6%) study trials of the word pairs (hereafter referred to as low-constraint cue–targets). These correct answers were excluded from further analysis for each participant, in line with the approach originally taken by Kornell et al. (2009; see also Grimaldi & Karpicke, 2012; Vaughn & Rawson, 20...
The results from Experiment 1replicate and extend the pattern reported in recent articles that have investigated the impact of errorful learning on later cued recall of semantically associated word pairs. For these items, guesses that were deemed errorful and replaced by a to-be-learned item were associated with higher later recall performance than...

Jan 1, 2018 · Errorless Learning: A Popular Theory. The process of errorless learning has been theorized to be based on Hebbian plasticity. According to Hebb , the synaptic connection between two neurons will be strengthened if they fire together. Learning occurs if this particular pattern of neural activity is activated on subsequent occasions.

The errorless learning procedure is highly effective in reducing the number of responses to the S− during training. In Terrace's (1963) experiment, subjects trained with the conventional discrimination procedure averaged over 3000 S− (errors) responses during 28 sessions of training; whereas subjects trained with the errorless procedure averaged only 25 S− (errors) responses in the same ...
Errorless learning treatments largely fail to capitalize on this powerful learning principle, as they prioritize errorless performance during training. In the sections that follow, we consider how this tension plays out in research on errorless learning in clinical populations.
Sep 5, 2019 · This form of learning has been termed errorless learning (EL) (Ferster & Skinner, Citation 1957; Terrace, Citation 1963). During EL, consolidation of information occurs after a single observation of an event that leads to a positive outcome, resulting in more accurate recall of information relative to TEL (Terrace, Citation 1963).

Errorless learning refers to a type of training that reduces the learner’s opportunity to make errors during the learning process. The aim of this approach is to prevent the learner from reinforcing errant behavior, which may occur with repeated mistakes. One of the earliest researched errorless learning techniques, stimulus fading, is best ...
