Research on cognition and retention has shown that any class period or "learning episode" has periods of "prime-time" and "down-time“. • Prime-time, when students are at their sharpest (usually the first ten to fifteen minutes of a class), is appropriate for introducing new information or coming to closure on old material. (Sousa, How the Brain Learns, 1995, Bligh, What's the Use of Lectures?, 2000).
