How does this relate to retention of physical skills?

I strongly suspect the 10-day courses are just for the physical flying -
I would expect that they need you to be done with the groundschool before
starting.

I don't know what your experience is nor what the study says about this,
but my own experience is "physical skills: use 'em or lose 'em".
