Studies investigating distributed practice effects have addressed only particular aspects, for example, by delivering information verbally and focusing on declarative knowledge only.
“Moreover, studies investigating distributed practice effects have addressed only particular aspects, for example, by delivering information verbally and focusing on declarative knowledge only (Carpenter et al., 2012;Cepeda, Pashler, Vul, Wixted, & Rohrer, 2006;Delaney, Verkoeijen, & Spirgel, 2010;Son & Simon, 2012;Toppino & Gerbier, 2014).”

“As with undergraduates learning artists, it turns out that spacing instances of categories improves children’s ability to induce whether a new item is a member of the category or not (Vlach et al., 2008).”
Background
The spacing effect: consolidation or differential encoding?

“These early consolidation theories were rejected based mainly on a celebrated study by Bjork and Allen (1970), who presented a word triplet, then repeated it either following an ‘‘easy’’ distractor task or a ‘‘hard’’ distractor task.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
