repetition effect

n. Repetition effect is facilitated (easier) processing resulting from repeated experience with a single task. For example, when a text is read twice, reading time tends to decrease and comprehension increases during the second reading because memory for the first reading makes the text easier to read a second time. Likewise, repeated study of a list of words improves memory for those words. Repetition effects can be considered a form of transfer benefit in that processes performed during the encounter (e.g., first reading or study session) transfer to the identical second encounter (e.g., second reading or study session).  – GER, FD
