Why do we learn new things more quickly over time?

Learning something spread over multiple days will produce longer, stronger memories, than learning something over a long burst on one day. The reasons for this are not entirely understood yet. One of the reasons might be because of memory consolidation.

Is it possible to learn more than one thing at a time?
