Distributed Practice

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Distributed practice spreads study across separated sessions and produces better retention than the same time massed together.

Show

Four one-hour sessions across a week outperform one four-hour session before the exam.

Watch for

Massed practice produces better immediate performance and worse retention. The advantage is felt at the wrong moment.
