Question

a good argument against cramming for an exam can be made based on ________. the primacy effect the recency effect the spacing effect the serial position effect

Explanation:

The Spacing Effect refers to the finding that long - term memory is enhanced when learning events are spaced apart in time rather than massed (crammed) together. Cramming is a form of massed practice, and the Spacing Effect shows that distributing study over time is more effective for retention, so it provides a good argument against cramming. The Primacy Effect is about remembering items at the beginning of a list, the Recency Effect about items at the end, and the Serial Position Effect is the combination of these two; they don't directly argue against cramming like the Spacing Effect does.

Answer:

The Spacing Effect
