I am a Lecturer in the School of Psychology at Deakin University bridging I/O psychology and statistics.

I'm quite active on the Cognitive Sciences and Statistics Stack Exchanges.

comment Is it possible to improve reading speed and visual comprehension by doing exercises?
Welcome to the site. It's good to see reference to the scientific literature. It sounds like an interesting study. What do you think are the implications of the study for whether visual training exercises can improve reading speed and comprehension?

@Casebash let me know; but I think a dedicated question specifically on dance instruction (e.g., with dance instruction in the title) that focuses on the specifics of your situation would be a better option at this point, perhaps with a link to this question.

ahh, okay. I'm happy to modify my answer, or perhaps a separate question is in order; So you're saying, if you're teaching a number of different tasks in a training session, how long should you spend on any one task? Also, just curious, is there a particular task or domain that motivated the question for you?

Does the question need to be limited to "initial sessions" or would it be simpler to ask in general: how long should a practice session be?

What are you defining as "optimal"? amount learnt in a given day? What if rate of learning slows down over time but does not stop completely, what would optimal mean then?

not sure what tag to add here (superstition, magical-thinking, religion); but it's a start

@Casebash so you are asking whether the stopping criteria for practice should be the attainment of a certain level of task success? Presumably this would vary between individuals based on prior skill and speed of learning. Does that matter?

Thanks for getting involved with the site. It's great to have active researchers contributing.

revised What is the relationship between language and the level of comprehension of consciousness?
based on meta discussion, we decided that question titles ask questions; whereas the body of the question is typically for requests for research or references
