研究表明，长间距（即，时间间隔）有助于第二语言词汇学习。然而，研究一直局限于治疗，涉及会议只有初步的学习，但没有随后的再学习。此外，大多数研究只调查了间隔的好处，而没有考虑其潜在的成本（即，延长治疗时间）。在我们的研究中，我们检查了初始学习和再学习的会话内间隔的好处和成本。在这项研究中，170名日语大学生使用以下四种初始和再学习间距组合之一来学习20个英日单词对：长-长，长-短，短-长和短-短间距。结果表明，为初始学习和再学习引入长间隔（长-长）导致更好的长期保留和更高的效率得分（即，每次试验学习的单词数），尽管治疗持续时间增加。这些研究结果表明，长间距的好处超过了它的成本。
Research has suggested that long spacing (i.e., temporal intervals) within a training session facilitates second language vocabulary learning. Studies, however, have been limited to treatment that involved sessions for only initial learning but not subsequent relearning. Furthermore, most studies have investigated only the benefits of spacing without considering its potential costs (i.e., increased duration of the treatment). In our study, we examined the benefits and costs of within‐session spacing for both initial learning and relearning. In this study, 170 Japanese‐speaking university students learned 20 English–Japanese word pairs using one of the following four combinations of initial and relearning spacing: long–long, long–short, short–long, and short–short spacing. The results showed that introducing long spacing for both initial learning and relearning (long–long) led to better long‐term retention and higher efficiency scores (i.e., number of words learned per trial) despite the increased duration of the treatment. These findings suggest that the benefits of long spacing outweigh its costs.
