Explain the relative merits of distributed versus massed practice
What will be an ideal response?
Distributed practice involves breaking the material into smaller, manageable amounts (such as breaking a list of fifty vocabulary words into five lists of ten words each) and using short study periods at frequent intervals to learn the material. Distributed practice is helpful when it is necessary to learn and retain large amounts of unrelated material. Distributed practice reduces the serial position effect. Massed practice involves the use of a few rather long study periods, spaced infrequently. If there is a lot of information to be learned, the serial position effect will be greater, and information in the middle of the list is more likely to be forgotten. Massed practice
can help students recognize relationships between elements and comprehend overall structure.
