==Definition==

'''Overlearning''' refers to learning something beyond the point of mastery in order to retain or apply it better over the longer term. There are two broad and related forms of overlearning:

* Overlearning to achieve [[automaticity]] through repeated and well-structured practice of the same knowledge base or skill set.
* Learning additional advanced or applied material in order to reinforce the main material that one wants to attain mastery of.

Overlearning may be advantageous in two ways:

* It increases the strength of memory and thereby helps combat the [[forgetting curve]].
* It (potentially) improves [[transfer of learning]].
