    The Best Learning Strategy Depends on What You’re Trying to Remember
    Different Methods Support Different Types of Memory
    Repetition is fundamental to learning, but how and when you revisit information significantly affects your ability to remember it. Research over the years shows that revisiting material over time leads to better long-term retention compared to cramming everything in one sitting. This phenomenon is known as the “spacing effect,” a well-documented principle in memory research.
    While many studies on the spacing effect focus on repeating the same content, real-world learning scenarios are often less controlled. For instance, when you meet a new colleague, future interactions might occur in various settings or contexts. How does this variability affect the spacing effect’s ability to enhance memory?
