What is spaced study?

Spaced study refers to a specific technique aimed at enhancing the memorization process. When you first encounter complex and difficult concepts such as new concepts for your biology assignment, you may start by going through your notes once. To ensure better learning and more prolonged information retention, it is preferable to spread out or 'space' repetition of that learning into multiple short study sessions rather than one extended effort. This technique of distributed, or spaced study involves a more efficient process of storing your learning for recall over an extended period.
