Dispersions and adjusted frequencies in corpora: further explorations (2010, background): “(Ambridge et al., 2006: 175) Surprisingly, there is not much corpus-linguistic work that deals with or let alone incorporates this potential bias, which in corpus linguistics is referred to as dispersion.”
Different speakers, different grammars: Individual differences in native language attainment (2012, background): “…on construction learning (and learning in general) shows that „spaced‟ exposure, where individual learning episodes are distributed over a number of sessions, is more effective than „massed‟ exposure, where the same number of learning episodes occurs in a single session (Ambridge et al. 2006).”
A Comparative Analysis of Number Sense Instruction in Reform-Based and Traditional Mathematics Textbooks (2007, background): “Research also emphasizes the importance of distributed practice over massed practice for promoting retention of learned skills (Ambridge et al., 2006; Dempster & Farris, 1990; Seabrook et al., 2005).”
