Professor: A recent study in cognitive psychology has provided interesting insights into memory consolidation. Researchers found that short, periodic breaks during a study session—even just five minutes every hour—can significantly improve long-term retention compared to studying for long, uninterrupted periods. The theory is that these breaks allow the brain to process and store information more effectively. This finding suggests that our traditional marathon study habits might actually be counterproductive for learning.
