CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Spacing effect: the tendency for distributed study or practice to yield better long-term retention than is achieved through massed study or practice.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the research literature, the learning advantage of distributed over massed practice is known as the spacing effect. In general, the research evidence is clear that spaced or distributed practice is superior to massed practice for long-term learning and retention.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Elaborative rehearsal is a type of memory rehearsal that is useful in transferring information into long term memory. This type of rehearsal is effective because it involves thinking about the meaning of the information and connecting it to other information already stored in memory.

Detailed explanation-5: -The testing effect (also known as retrieval practice, active recall, practice testing, or test-enhanced learning) suggests long-term memory is increased when some of the learning period is devoted to retrieving information from memory.
