the best way to space out your recalls is...
...with increasing gaps!
The discoverer of the Forgetting Curve was...
Hermann Ebbinghaus
The Forgetting Curve (without any recalls) looks like...
(note: it decays quickly, then slowly – "exponential decay")
The Forgetting Curve (with optimally-spaced recalls) looks like...
(note: the gaps between recalls increase in length)
try to recall ↑
then flip ↻
