Which statement best defines massed practice?

Explanation:
Massed practice means doing repeated attempts with little rest between them. The idea is to compress practice into a short block and repeat the skill quickly, which can help build speed and fluency. However, fatigue can set in and accuracy may drop, and it isn’t as strong for long-term retention as spaced practice. This description—having little rest between attempts—best captures the concept. The other statements describe rest between sessions (distributed practice), long breaks, or no rest at all, which don’t define massed practice.
