When preparing for next week’s Spanish test, Matt decides to study for 20 minutes per day during the week instead of just studying for several hours the night before the test. What is this an example of? Options:
- Spacing
- Elaboration
- Monitoring
- Retrieval practice
Correct Answer:
Spacing, also known as distributed practice, involves spreading study sessions over time rather than concentrating all study efforts into one long session. This method is generally more effective for learning and retaining information.
