Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Multiple types of learning benefit from spaced study, and these benefits have been demonstrated in educational settings. → Carpenter 2012

The review's stated scope covers "the types of learning that benefit from spaced study" and "demonstrations of these benefits in educational settings". The preview text does not print the specific learning types or demonstration studies, so this claim is coded at the level of the review's own summary.
"we review research findings of the types of learning that benefit from spaced study, demonstrations of these benefits in educational settings, and recent research on the time intervals during which spaced study should occur"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Spaced Practice Improves Retention — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- Recent research identifies time intervals during which spaced study should occur to maximize memory retention — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Spacing enhances learning across various domains and across the lifespan, with emphasis on applied educational settings — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Retrieval practice enhances learning across domains and the lifespan in applied educational settings — related
