I studied it in some of my psychology classes in college. It is called Backwards Shaping--if I remember right. When I was in church choir as a youth, our director had us memorize songs like this. We learned the last page first, and so on. I don't know if we necessarily learned faster because of it, but I definitely remember the feeling of almost relief when getting to a part of the song I knew. It is definitely a confidence builder--at least in my case.Becky Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901212090175780900noreply@blogger.com
