Spaced Repetition

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that involves reviewing material at increasing intervals. This method has been shown to be highly effective for long-term retention of information.

When you use spaced repetition, you start by reviewing the material frequently. As you become more familiar with the material, you can gradually increase the intervals between reviews. This allows your brain to have enough time to process the information and store it in long-term memory.

Spaced repetition is a particularly useful technique for learning new languages, studying for exams, and memorizing facts and figures. It can also be used to improve your memory in general.

Flashcards are a common tool for spaced repetition. However, it is important to provide enough context on your flashcards so that you fully understand the material you are trying to learn. If you do not provide enough context, you may have difficulty recalling the information later on.

Spaced repetition is a powerful tool for learning, but it is not a magic bullet. It is important to use it in conjunction with other learning techniques, such as active recall and spaced practice.
