　　Around 120 years ago, Ebbinghaus began his study of memory. He concentrated on studying how quickly the human mind can remember information. One result of his research is known as the total time hypothesis (假设), which simply mean the amount you learn depends on the time you spend trying to learn it. This can be taken as our first rule of learning.

　　Although it is usually true that studying for four hours is better than studying for one, there is still the question of how to use the four hours. For example, is it better to study for four hours straight or to study for one hour a day for four days in a row? The answer, as you may have suspected, is that it is better to spread out the study times. This phenomenon, through which we can learn more efficiently by dividing our practice time is known as the distribution of practice effect. Thus, our second rule of learning is this. Its better to study fairly briefly but often.
