Resumen
Durante mucho tiempo, investigadores en los campos de psicología y educación han estudiado los efectos de la distribución del aprendizaje en la memoria y han demostrado sus beneficios en el salón de clase. Sin embargo, a pesar de la abundante evidencia proporcionada en la literatura y adquirida por medio de la experiencia diaria, tanto estudiantes como profesores parecen ignorar los hallazgos científicos al respecto. Este artículo busca sintetizar información sobre la memoria cognoscitiva y enlazar los aportes en el campo con los procesos de enseñanza al aplicar esta práctica tanto en la distribución de contenidos como en su revisión luego de un período de tiempo.
For a substantial period of time, researchers have studied the effects of spaced learning on memory, and numerous studies show the benefits of distributed learning in the classroom. However, despite the ubiquitous presence of evidence in literature and the overwhelming number of empirical learning experiences, both students and professors often fail to acknowledge what scientific investigations have shown. The aim of this review paper is to synthesize information about cognitive memory and how the research findings in this field can benefit the learning process if applied both to content distribution and to revisiting this content after a period of time.
