What is the Spaced Repetition System?

The Spaced Repetition System is a core feature of Learntime that optimizes your learning schedule for maximum long-term retention. This scientifically proven method enhances memory formation and recall by strategically spacing out your review sessions.

How Learntime Optimizes Your Learning Schedule

1. Adaptive Intervals:

   • New information is reviewed more frequently.
   • As you demonstrate retention, review intervals gradually increase.
   • This approach ensures that you review information just as you're about to forget it, strengthening your memory.

2. Personalized Scheduling:

   • The system adapts to your individual learning pace and retention rates.
   • Topics you find challenging will be scheduled for more frequent review.
   • Well-remembered topics will have longer intervals between reviews.

3. Efficient Learning:

   • By focusing on information that needs reinforcement, you make the most efficient use of your study time.
   • This method helps prevent forgetting and reduces the need for extensive cramming sessions.

How It Works in Learntime

1. Initial Learning: When you first add a topic, it's scheduled for frequent review.

2. Recall Reviews: During each review session, you attempt to recall the information without looking at the your notes or the study sheet.

3. Performance Assessment: Based on your recall performance, the system adjusts the next review interval.

   • Strong recall → longer interval before the next review
   • Weak recall → shorter interval to reinforce the information

4. Visual Indicators: The green circular bar around topic icons in the sidebar indicates memory strength. A fuller circle suggests stronger retention.

5. Automated Scheduling: Topics automatically appear in your review queue when it's time to revisit them.

Benefits of Spaced Repetition
