Sana and colleagues (2022) have raised a number of challenges regarding the operationalisation of constructs and selection of articles to Chen et al.’s (Educational Psychology Review 33:1499–1522, 2021) suggestion that resting from cognitive activity could possibly allow for working memory recovery and so explain some of the data on the spacing effect. In our response, we indicate that the goal of our proposed framework was to try to resolve some mixed results of the spacing and interleaving effects and offer an alternative explanation for those mixed results, rather than proposing a theory of everything. We acknowledge that there are other important factors, which does not however, provide grounds for rejecting our hypothesis. Additional empirical studies are needed to determine whether rest and its effect on working memory are important when analysing the spacing effect.

Sana 及其同事 (2022) 对 Chen 等人 (Educational Psychology Review 33:1499–1522, 2021) 的建议提出了一些关于结构操作化和文章选择的挑战，即从认知活动中休息可能允许工作记忆恢复等解释一些关于间距效应的数据。在我们的回复中，我们指出我们提出的框架的目标是尝试解决间隔和交错效应的一些混合结果，并为这些混合结果提供替代解释，而不是提出万物理论。我们承认还有其他重要因素，但这些因素并不能为拒绝我们的假设提供理由。
