内容摘要:Decay is a central problem in the process of achieving long-term goals, especially in education. In this field experiment, we utilize a cognitively taxing task: note-taking, to examine how the timing of task assignment affects students’ learning dynamics and performance. We find that assigning low ability students to the middle of the semester helps them achieve better academic performance, including attending more lectures, obtaining higher homework grades and exam grades, which is consistent with our theory predictions. Interestingly, in terms of exam grades, students assigned to the late part of the semester perform equally well with those assigned to the middle.
