Detailed explanation-1: -The spacing effect is the observation that repetitions spaced in time tend to produce stronger memories than repetitions massed closer together in time. Research on the spacing effect dates back to Ebbinghaus (1885) and his book, Memory: A Contribution to Experimental Psychology.
Detailed explanation-2: -The spacing effect refers to the finding that long-term memory is enhanced when learning events are spaced apart in time, rather than massed in immediate succession (see Ebbinghaus, 1885/1964, for the first study on the spacing effect).
Detailed explanation-3: -Study-phase retrieval theory26–29 posits that spaced stimulus presentations or learning trials are more effective than massed trials for memory reinforcement because each spaced trial elicits retrieval and reactivation of a memory trace that was formed by the preceding trial.
Detailed explanation-4: -For example, studying a vocabulary list for 10 minutes every day for a week may result in permanent memorization of the vocabulary where studying the list for 70 minutes consecutively may only result in short term memorization of the list.
