SPACING & INTERLEAVING.
PLANNING THE SEQUENCE OF TOPICS TO STUDY | STUDY HABITS & TECHNIQUES | PAGE 92
These interconnected ideas have been researched extensively by cognitive scientists:
Spacing | Revisiting material in short sessions with days or weeks between, perhaps at regular intervals, is more effective than doing one long study session. You form stronger connections, making it easier to remember what you learned.
Interleaving | Studying a mix of closely related subtopics during any session is more effective than only focusing on one subtopic at a time.
