2. Distributed practice is a learning strategy wherein practice is broken down into small components and spread across longer durations of time. For example, spending one hour everyday practicing for a dance performance to take place the next month.

3. Massed practice is a learning strategy wherein practice occurs without rest over a relatively short span of time. For example, cramming one’s course content a night before the examination.

4. (I’m not sure which chapter you’re studying so I’m suggesting a common mnemonic that you can alter to apply to your chapter content) Acronyms are mnemonics can be used to remember lists of words. Acronyms, as a word, would comprise of letters that represent a word or phrase that needs to be remembered. For example, the types of memory can be remembered as SEP - Semantic memory, Episodic memory and Procedural memory.

5. Proactive interference refers to the phenomenon wherein previous learned information impacts the ability to learn newer information. For example, English speakers attempting to learn French may confuse the pronounciation of letters that are different in both languages.
