''Distributed learning may refer to [[Distance education]].''
Distributed learning is defined as opposed to massed learning {{fact}}. Also referred to as Spacing effect. Reviews of material with longer time elapsed between the first and second review (spaced) yield more learning than reviews with less time elapsed between the first and second review (massed). Review of material increases long-term memory best when there is more time between introduction and review of material. It is suggested that it would actually be better for exams to be taken after a break than before, given that there was a review before the exams, because of the spacing effect{{fact}}.
According to an fMRI study, distributed learning across a 24 hr interval did not enhance immediate memory performance but instead slows the rate of forgetting relative to massed learning. This savings in forgetting was specific to relational, but not item, memory.▼
