Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spaced retrieval involves gradually increasing the time between retrieval attempts. This allows for memory consolidation and improves the likelihood of long-term recall. Option A is incorrect because it refers to adding new information, which is not a component of spaced retrieval. Option B is incorrect because it refers to setting a specific time period between presenting information and retrieval attempts, which is not the same as the gradual increase in time intervals used in spaced retrieval. Option D is incorrect because there is no medication known to improve memory.
