- Learning is optimized with a 15% error rate, known as the '85% Rule'.
- The '85% Rule' applies to both computer models and potentially human perceptual learning.
- Optimal learning occurs when tasks are neither too easy nor too difficult.
- The rule was derived from experiments with machine learning and binary classification tasks.
- Previous studies on animal learning also support the 85% accuracy rule.
- The rule may have implications for educational strategies, though more research is needed for complex learning.
