question 118

Essay

Taylor is having considerable difficulty remembering terms,names,and facts in his English Literature class.On his last exam,he identified Shakespeare as the author of The Canterbury Tales and Paris as the location of the Tales.Historical authors and their works are so confusing to him that he doesn't even try to remember them.The result is that,although he typically does satisfactorily on essays (he purposefully leaves out connecting authors with their works that he is uncertain about),his scores are extremely low on objective items such as multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank items.
-Apply the concepts of massed vs.distributed practice to suggest an effective strategy that Taylor might employ to improve his performance.
