| Research Abstract |
The present study attempts (1) to accumulate data regarding learners' responses to a vast amount of study contents in long-term daily learning, and (2) to develop data storing CAI that can provide beneficial learning information feedback on the basis of gathered data. Our main aim here is to develop the module that can predict effective learning based on the learner's accumulated data.
We conducted long term learning experiments by providing laptop computers to the high school students (learners) and asked them to study English words continuously for long tem at home. We analyzed the extensive data obtained from the experiments and discovered several new findings that have not been reported in previous studies so far, for example, the effect of learning is certainly accumulated even though the learner is not aware of it, and increased in the achievement of learning parallels with the study period. Moreover, from individual analyses of the learners, learning stages of individual is depic

ted to astonishing degree than we have expected.
The achievement of individual is found to be rising steadily. Based on the achievement data that falls on simple regression line, we found that variation in the achievement can be predicted. Although the results indicate accomplishment of the research's goal, we found considerable individual differences beyond our prediction. Thus, we attempted to find out what leads to the large individual differences. As a result, we found the relation between substantial degree of achievement and the time spent for learning. A big individual difference exists in the achievement of English words learning that has been carried out widely and generally is totally new discovery.
In addition, by means of conducting long term learning experiment, we develop English words database that is important and beneficial for the participants. From methodological perspective, the findings of the present study indicate possibility of a new experimental paradigm (i.e., micro-step estimation method) that can examine a time dimensional factor.
