A student studies in 10-minute bursts with breaks and returns to the material later, improving retention. What effect is this?
A
Spacing effect, because distributing learning episodes across time, even with breaks, tends to improve long‑term memory.
B
Testing effect, because breaks automatically create retrieval practice even if the student never tries to recall anything.
C
Maintenance rehearsal, because short bursts work only by increasing continuous repetition without meaningful processing.
D
Reversed encoding specificity, because taking breaks changes context and therefore always harms recall.
