Regression predicting spacing from number of activities completed in the unit, with pretest and time covariates and student and unit random factors. "students who completed more activities also tended to space their learning more, β = 0.35".

"The results (see Supplementary Table 4) revealed that students who completed more activities also tended to space their learning more, β = 0.35, SE = 0.01, t(4828) = 28.06, p < 0.001."
