Answer:

The spacing effect refers to the finding that long-term memory is enhanced when learning events are spaced apart in time, rather than massed in immediate succession

Step-by-step explanation:

The spacing effect occurs when information is repeatedly learned over a spaced-out long period, resulting in an individual being about to recall better and remember the information being learned.

Ex: Teaching a toddler their A,B,C'S everyday for an extended duration.
