CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The spacing effect occurs when information is repeatedly learned over a spaced-out long period, resulting in an individual being about to recall better and remember the information being learned.

Detailed explanation-2: -Spaced learning provides time in between learning presentations for learners to forget irrelevant information. However, relevant features are likely to be present on subsequent learning presentations, reactivated in memory, and thus be forgotten to a lesser degree.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The research shows that spacing learning over time produces substantial learning benefits. These benefits result from different mechanisms, including those based on repetitions and those based on other factors.
