So what does this term mean and where does it come from?
And so the idea is that you review the material frequently at first, but then the frequency with which you review the material starts to stretch out.
Yes.
And is it always like that?
Or does the software adjust the frequency based on how difficult you say you found the recall task?
Yeah.
you less often the more correct answers you get?
to pound you on whatever it seems to hit that you're weakest on.
Because maybe studying for a test is more conducive to cramming, where you remember everything for one night, and then you instantly forget everything forever because you don't take the test again.
Yes, precisely.
I remember I was at a bookstore once and I saw the novel Caleb Williams by William Godwin.
And I remarked to my friend, ah, it's such a wonderful book.
I love it.
He was like, oh yeah, what's it about?
And he was like, you know, I don't remember the story of the book at all.
I just remember I loved it for some reason.
Yes.
It was a humorous interaction.
I would imagine this technique maybe works better for the type of learning that involves remembering a lot of one-off facts and maybe is less relevant for the type of learning about like how to solve certain kinds of puzzles.
Do you find that that's the case or does this technique really go beyond just like remembering details better?
