Techniques 1 Flashcards
What is the definition of Spaced Repetition?
Spaced Repetition spaces out review sessions at increasing intervals to optimize learning and memory retention.
How Does Spaced Repetition Work?
Reviews start frequent then gradually extend after each successful recall, but shorten if you forget - creating an adaptive schedule that matches your memory strength.
The technique is based on the “forgetting curve” discovered by Hermann Ebbinghaus, which shows how information is lost over time when there is no attempt to retain it.
What are the 2 Key Principles is the Forgetting Curve based on?
Spreading out study sessions and actively testing your memory creates stronger, longer-lasting retention.
If you pre-test yourself you will benefit from the Hyper Correction Effect. How does it work.
Strong but incorrect initial beliefs actually lead to better learning and retention when corrected.
What are the key benefits of the Stop & Recite learning technique?
Self-testing actively reveals knowledge gaps, strengthens memories, and deepens understanding.
What is a mental model?
