Is it true that Cramming the night before an exam produces poorer long-term retention than spaced study?

Yes. A Washington Post piece carried by NCBI states that cramming may help next-day exams but that spacing out study is what works for long-term memory, and cognitive scientists say the spacing effect retains information far longer than cramming. Two small medical-student studies add that cramming yields only short-term recall and is associated with poor exam outcomes.
