The fact that Jamille gets better grades on vocabulary tests if she studies for 15 minutes every day for 8 days than if she crams for 2 hours the night before the test illustrates the spacing effect. This effect refers to the phenomenon that spaced out studying or practice sessions over a longer period of time result in better retention and recall of information than cramming or massed practice sessions.
