Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -The spacing effect aids individuals in better remember and learning information. The spacing effect occurs when an individual repeats information over a spaced-out time, resulting in better recalling and retaining the information.
Detailed explanation-4: -Spaced repetition is the process of testing material over progressively longer intervals in order to increase the effort of recall and thus embed knowledge further into long-term memory.
Detailed explanation-5: -This is the basis of the learning method that is better known as ‘spaced repetition’. The Ebbinghaus forgetting curve is based on the observations that the sharpest decline in retention occurs within the first twenty minutes and is significant within the first hour. The curve then levels off after a day.
