Spaced repetition and the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve are two of the most powerful tools to reinforce information and drive knowledge retention.
Spaced repetition is a learning tactic that utilizes the spacing effect from Ebbinghaus’ research.
Here’s a great explanation from Gwern.net:
Timing plays a critical role in reinforcement and memory strength. The time of the day that repetition takes place is also a very important factor.
Organizations can increase the impact of their reinforcement programs by factoring in effective repetition and timing.
Training reinforcement takes the concept of spaced repetition and adds additional layers, making it a more effective training solution.
Training reinforcement uses your training content, learning objectives, and expected behavior outcomes to create a goal-based program and timeline of events. Your objectives are then spaced out over the course of the program to increase knowledge retention. By utilizing a smart, automated delivery platform, Mindmarker uses spaced repetition to create lasting behavior change.
