D
Mnemoncs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The spacing effect (also known as distributed practice) refers to the finding that two or more learning opportunities that are spaced apart, or distributed, in time produce better learning than the same opportunities that occur in close succession.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Spacing effect : People are more likely to recall what they have learned if their learning sessions are spaced out than if they are massed together. Lag effect : People recall information better with longer lags between learning sessions than shorter lags.

Detailed explanation-4: -The spacing effect demonstrates that learning is more effective when study sessions are spaced out. This effect shows that more information is encoded into long-term memory by spaced study sessions, also known as spaced repetition or spaced presentation, than by massed presentation ("cramming").
