LONDON: Quality is just as important as quantity when it comes to practice, a University of Sheffield study has revealed. According to researchers Henry Roedinger and Mark Daniel, who have written the book on learning, advise that last-minute cramming sessions aren’t effective. You may retain information over the short term, but as soon as the final, the information can evaporate from your brain. Instead, space out your study habits.
Obviously, cram sessions frequently happen because students feel they don’t have time to study until the last minute. But since the idea here is that shorter sessions spaced out will be more effective, you don’t need to build up studying as a massive task. You can study a little bit every day and retain much more information.
