“…While understanding interactions between massed training and working memory has been the focus of a number of recent studies (Collins et al, 2017;Collins, 2018;Collins and Frank, 2018), the inverse of massed training -spaced training -has been relatively under-explored in humans van de Vijver and Ligneul, 2019). During learning, spacing between learning events has been associated with lower ongoing performance (Schmidt and Bjork, 1992;Taylor and Rohrer, 2010;Soderstrom and Bjork, 2015;van de Vijver and Ligneul, 2019). Critically, however, for many domains including verbal memory, motor skill learning, and educational performance, spacing between learning events is well-known to lead to reduced forgetting on later tests (reported in Ebbinghaus, 1913;Lee and Genovese, 1988;Donovan and Radosevich, 1999;Janiszewski et al, 2003;Cepeda et al, 2006).…”
