Question

Katie and Lisa are roommates taking the same psychology class. They have a test in four days during a 10:30 - 11:30 class period. Both intend to study for three hours, but because of different work schedules, Katie will study one hour for each of the next three days, and Lisa will study three hours the day before the exam. What could you predict about their performances?

Answer 1

Answer:

Katie will perform better.

Explanation:

Katie should perform better because she has spaced her studying over the three days before the exam. We need time to learn a piece of information and to keep that in our conscious mind. Our mind memories a piece of information at good for 45 minutes after that forgetting occurs.
