The learning principle of savings (also known as the law of repetitious learning) suggests that repeating information over time leads to greater retention and quicker re-learning in the future. Professor Kaikai's advice to study material repeatedly aligns with this principle. Discrimination refers to the ability to differentiate between similar stimuli, generalization refers to applying learned behavior to new situations, and extinction refers to the disappearance of a learned behavior when reinforcement is no longer present.
