Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Massed sessions, or cramming, involves studying the material repeatedly in a short period of time without any intervals between learning sessions. Research has shown that this is not an effective study strategy because it leads to poor long-term retention of the material. It is beneficial to have intervals between learning sessions to allow for consolidation of the material and better retention.
