Ara verme etkisi

Ara verme etkisi öğrenmenin zamana yayıldığında daha iyi olması, sıkıştırılmış tekrarlama yerine aralıklı tekrarlamanın tercih edilmesidir. Pratik olarak bu etki "tıkınma" denebilecek (yoğun ve son dakika) sınav gecesi çalışmasının uzun bir zaman çerçevesinde aralıklı çalışmak kadar etkili olmayacağını öne sürer. Bu etki öğreneni zorlar, ancak uzun süreçte daha iyi öğrenme sağlar.

Bu etki ilk olarak Hermann Ebbinghaus tarafından tanımlanmıştır. 1885'te ayrıntılı olarak Über das Gedächtnis. Untersuchungen zur experimentellen Psychologie (Bellek: Deneysel Psikolojiye Bir Katkı) kitabında incelenmiştir. Bu tespit bellek ile ilgili hatırlama, tanıma ve frekans tahmini  gibi çok çalışmalarda konu edilmiştir. Araştırmacılar ara verme etkisine çok sayıda açıklama getirmiş ve hatırlamaya yardımcı olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir.
