“…Additionally, spacing out study sessions is important for long-term retention (Cepeda et al, 2008; Dunlosky et al, 2013). Yet, some students still report spending a large portion of study time in less effective ways (Blasiman et al, 2017; Ekuni et al, 2022; Hartwig & Dunlosky, 2012; Karpicke et al, 2009; Rowell et al, 2021). There are several possible reasons for this from cognitive and motivational standpoints (see Bjork et al, 2013; Zepeda et al, 2020, for reviews), including that students do not know about effective strategies, believe that less effective strategies are more effective (Blasiman et al, 2017; McCabe, 2011), plan to use effective strategies too late (Kuhbandner & Emmerdinger, 2019), or intend to use effective strategies but fail to follow-through (Blasiman et al, 2017; Morehead et al, 2016; Susser & McCabe, 2013).…”
