q2 · i? · review · r?

Narrative review synthesis of spacing research. The review states it focuses on "how these strategies enhance learning in various domains across the lifespan", prioritizing applied educational settings; no pooled effect size is printed in the available text.

"We focus on how these strategies enhance learning in various domains across the lifespan, with an emphasis on research in applied educational settings."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Spaced Practice Improves Retention — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
• Retrieval practice enhances learning across domains and the lifespan in applied educational settings — related
• Research findings show that various types of learning benefit from spaced study, with demonstrations of these benefits in educational settings — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Spaced retrieval practice produces better final retention than massed retrieval even though spacing lowers initial retrieval success, and more absolute spacing enhances long-term retention — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Recent research identifies time intervals during which spaced study should occur to maximize memory retention — related
