The difference in Keith's learning time is called savings, which refers to the amount of time or effort saved when relearning something previously learned. Practice (option D) is a necessary component of learning but does not explain the difference in Keith's learning time.

Latent learning (option B) refers to learning that occurs without apparent reinforcement, and is also not applicable in this scenario.
