Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Morris has discovered the spacing effect, which suggests that learning is more effective if it is spaced out over time, rather than cramming it all into one session. This is evidenced by his improved ability to remember the Russian words when he studied them twice a day for five days in a row, rather than all in one evening. Options B, C, and D are not applicable in this scenario.
