Using incremental rehearsal to increase fluency of single-digit multiplication facts with children identified as learning disabled in mathematics computation (2005, methodology): “Additional research has questioned Gickling and Thompson's proposed ratio, but has consistently demonstrated that including known items within rehearsal tasks increased student learning (Burns, 2004).”
Effectiveness and Efficiency of Flashcard Drill Instructional Methods on Urban First-Graders' Word Recognition, Acquisition, Maintenance, and Generalization (2008, methodology): “Interspersal procedures are frequently used alternatives to the traditional flashcard drill method in which flashcards containing unknown words are taught with known words at varying ratios (Burns, 2004).”
Graphic Organizers and Students with Learning Disabilities: A Meta-Analysis (2011, background): “Based on the recommendation of Burns (2004), eliminated outliers were effect sizes that were greater than 1.5 times the mean effect size.”
