Spaced Practice

Also called: distributed practice, practice less, spacing, spacing effect

Definition

When you break your practice into a few shorter sessions spread across the week, you usually learn more than from one long session of the same total time. This is called the spacing effect, and it is one of the oldest findings in learning research.
