In the realm of learning, retention is the ultimate goal!

It's not just about acquiring knowledge but ensuring that it sticks with you long-term. This is especially true in fields requiring intricate skills like negotiation. Recent research underscores the significant benefits of practicing after initial learning to bolster retention and improve performance.

At The Negotiation Club, we harness these insights to offer a robust platform for enhancing your negotiation abilities through regular, structured practice.

The Science of Retention: Why Practice Matters

Studies have consistently shown that practicing what you’ve learned, particularly through methods like retrieval practice, dramatically improves retention. Karpicke and Blunt (2011) found that students who engaged in retrieval practice outperformed those who simply re-studied or used other learning methods. This is because actively recalling information helps reinforce neural pathways, making it easier to retrieve that information later【Vanderbilt University】

Additionally, distributed practice, where learning sessions are spaced out over time, has been proven to be more effective than cramming. This “spacing effect” means that regular, spaced practice sessions can lead to better long-term retention of information【SpringerLink】【Digital Promise】.

Practical Negotiation Application: The Negotiation Club

At The Negotiation Club, we integrate these research-backed methods to ensure our members develop and retain top-notch negotiation skills. Here’s how:

1. Regular Negotiation Practice Sessions:

Our club hosts frequent practice sessions that mimic the benefits of retrieval practice. By regularly engaging in negotiation scenarios, members continuously reinforce their learning, ensuring that skills are not just learned but deeply embedded.

2. Negotiation Cards for Individual Practice:

Understanding that time and flexibility are crucial, we provide Negotiation Cards. These cards allow individuals to practice negotiation techniques on their own time, ensuring that they can engage in spaced practice even outside scheduled sessions. This flexibility helps in maintaining consistent practice, crucial for long-term retention【Vanderbilt University】【Digital Promise.】
