The Spacing Effect

The spacing effect, a theory from cognitive psychology, is the idea that animals and humans have a higher learning capacity when they study items over a spaced amount of time, as opposed to repeatedly during a short crammed period of time. In layman's terms, students or animals will learn and remember better if they study material over a period of time, instead of shoving all the information in at once. This theory was first observed by famous psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus.
