Question

ebbinghaus found repetition that continues at spaced intervals over a long period of time develops long - term memory of the information you are learning. what does this tell you about your approach to studying?

• daily review is critical to learning.
• rote learning is the most valuable kind of learning.
• chunking and other strategies are only valuable for quizzes you will be taking within twenty - four hours.
• reviewing class notes and materials regularly over time is the best preparation for final exams.

Explanation:

Ebbinghaus's spaced repetition principle focuses on repeated, spaced practice to build long-term memory.

• The first option focuses only on daily review, not the long-term spaced interval aspect.
• Rote learning is not the focus of this finding; spaced repetition is about timed review, not just memorization by repetition.
• Chunking is unrelated to spaced repetition, and the claim about only 24-hour quizzes is incorrect.
• The last option aligns with spaced repetition: regular, ongoing review over time builds the long-term memory needed for final exams.

Answer:

D. Reviewing class notes and materials regularly over time is the best preparation for final exams.
