A cognitive psychologist conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of different study techniques on learning retention. Participants in Condition 1 used spaced practice (studying spread out over multiple days), while participants in Condition 2 used massed practice (studying all at once in a single session).
Table 1: Median and range of fact-recall scores for Spaced Practice and Massed Practice groups
| Condition 1: Spaced Practice | Condition 2: Massed Practice | |
|---|---|---|
| Median number of facts correctly recalled | 18 | 12 |
| Range | 8 | 14 |
