这项实地实验研究了人类和其他动物的间隔训练对大规模训练的好处是否适用于马。29匹随机选择的马（马ferus caballus）反复遇到一个新的跨越障碍的任务，而鞍。马被随机分配到空间训练条件（2分钟工作，2分钟休息，2分钟工作，2分钟休息）或大量训练条件（4分钟工作，4分钟休息）。每次训练的总时间和每次训练的总休息时间保持不变。考虑到在工作牧场进行研究的限制和威胁安全的天气条件，会议之间的天数（M = 3）尽可能一致。在每一次训练中，同一个假设天真的骑手让马穿过一个新的障碍。在太空训练条件下，16匹马中有15匹达到了性能标准（94%成功），而在集中训练条件下，13匹马中只有5匹达到了性能标准（39%成功）。在空间训练条件下的马也比在集中训练条件下的马更快地开始了他们的第一次跨越障碍，并且比在集中训练条件下的马更快地完成了八次跨越。总的来说，任务收购进行间隔训练的马匹更高，尽管两组经历了相同的总工作和休息时间，每届会议。这些研究结果概括了人类间隔实践中观察到的学习性能的好处，马和马训练提供应用的好处。
This field experiment examined whether the well-documented benefit of spaced over massed training for humans and other animals generalizes to horses. Twenty-nine randomly selected horses (Equus ferus caballus) repeatedly encountered a novel obstacle-crossing task while under saddle. Horses were randomly assigned to the spaced-training condition (2 min work, 2 min rest, 2 min work, 2 min rest) or the massed-training condition (4 min work, 4 min rest). Total training time per session and total rest per session were held constant. Days between sessions (M = 3) were held as consistent as possible given the constraints of conducting research on a working ranch and safety–threatening weather conditions. During each training session, the same hypothesis-naïve rider shaped horses to cross a novel obstacle. Fifteen of 16 horses in the spaced-training condition reached performance criterion (94% success) while only 5 of 13 horses in the massed-training condition reached performance criterion (39% success). Horses in the spaced-training condition also initiated their first obstacle-crossing faster than horses in the massed-training condition and were faster at completing eight crossings than horses in the massed-training condition. Overall, task acquisition was higher for horses undergoing spaced training despite both groups experiencing the same total work and rest time per session. These findings generalize the learning-performance benefit observed in human spaced practice to horses and offer applied benefit to equine training.
