Massed versus Distributed Repeated Reading: A Case of Forgetting Helping Recall?
Krug, Damon; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v82 n2 p366-71 Jun 1990
Repeated reading of a passage at 1 sitting (massed) was compared with repeated reading with a delay between readings (distributed) for effects on recall in 3 experiments with 125 college undergraduates and 45 high school students. Advantages of distributed repeated reading are discussed in terms of a deactivation hypothesis. (SLD)
