“…However, length of retraining time is much longer for (a) longer retention intervals (14,95), (b) more difficult tasks (73), and (c) for procedural tasks rather than continuous tasks (14,59,87). In addition, highly trained individuals tend to require more training time to regain their old levels of proficiency than less-trained individuals (14,87).…”

This research sought to assess the relative costs and benefits of three alternative approaches for sustaining procedural skills over a prolonged retention interval and to determine if individuals can estimate in advance of retention testing how much refresher training they require to regain proficiency. Thirty-eight reserve soldiers were assigned to groups according to their past experience on the experimental task-disassembly/assembly of the M60 machine gun. One group was trained to criterion and then received 100% initial overtraining. This group's 8week retention and retraining performance was compared against that of a group that received the same amount of additional training midway through the retention interval. The control group trained to criterion but received no additional training prior to retention testing and retraining. Refresher training estimates were collected immediately prior to retention testing. Cost and effectiveness considerations weighed heavily in favor of the overtraining group. Soldiers appeared to know how much refresher training they required to regain proficiency.
