Spaced Practice

What is the difference between cramming and spaced learning?

• Cramming involves studying for a long session just before an exam, while spaced learning spreads out the study time over a longer period.

• Cramming involves studying for a long session just after an exam, while spaced learning spreads out the study time over a shorter period.

• Cramming involves studying for a short session just before an exam, while spaced learning spreads out the study time over a longer period.

• Cramming involves studying for a short session just after an exam, while spaced learning spreads out the study time over a shorter period.

In the study conducted by Nate Cornell, which group remembered more material?

• The first group that studied the material eight times across a single day.

• The second group that studied the material eight times across four days.

• Both groups remembered the same amount of material.

• The study did not provide any information about which group remembered more material.

Why does spaced practice work effectively?

• Restudying material strengthens the pathways to stored information.

• Restudying material creates more pathways to stored information.

• Restudying material helps in relearning it in a slightly different way.

• All of the above.

How can spaced practice be utilized effectively?

• By revisiting recently learned information after a day or two and then repeating the process after four or five days.

• By revisiting recently learned information after a week or two and then repeating the process after a month.

• By revisiting recently learned information after a few hours and then repeating the process after a day.

• By revisiting recently learned information after a month and then repeating the process after a year.

What should be the time gap between reviews in spaced practice?

• As long as necessary for recalling the information to be difficult.

• As short as possible to ensure easy recall of the information.

• The same amount of time as the initial study session.

• The time gap does not matter in spaced practice.
