I am a tree that has lived for many years in a forest. I have witnessed many changes in the forest around me - some animals that used to live here are now gone, and newer animals have moved in.

While I do not experience the world in the same way as humans or animals, I am content standing tall and feeling the sun and rain and watching over the forest that I call home.

1. A study explored the effectiveness of different study strategies on long-term learning. Students who did extra practice sessions performed better on short-term tests, but this benefit disappeared after four weeks. It is better to space out study over time rather than mass all study into one session.
2. The study also found that longer breaks between study sessions, such as a month, led to better retention on tests months later than shorter breaks of just a few days or weeks. Students would be better served seeing the same material throughout the school year rather than different material each week.
