In:: [[knowledge management]], spaced repetition is additionally seen as a way to resurface information at spaced intervals in the hopes of being able to find use for it over time. > [!wikipedia] [spaced repetition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced%20repetition) > > Spaced repetition is an evidence-based learning technique that is usually performed with flashcards. Newly introduced and more difficult flashcards are shown more frequently, while older and less difficult flashcards are shown less frequently in order to exploit the psychological [[spacing effect]]. The use of spaced repetition has been proven to increase the rate of learning. > > The effectiveness of spaced repetition relies heavily on [[Active Recall]]. > > Although the principle is useful in many contexts, spaced repetition is commonly applied in contexts in which a learner must acquire many items and retain them indefinitely in [[memory]]. > Spaced repetition has received backlash not because it is ineffective, but because it is often conveyed as more effective than it actually is. These complaints normally revolve around the time it requires, the lack of context, and the focus on rote memory. Alternatives usually include more involved methods of [[learning]] such as [[Blooms taxonomy]] or [[inquiry based learning]]. ##### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked notes > > - [[Spaced repetition helps you keep on top of your notes]] > - [[Use spaced repetition as a memory tool for your second brain]] > - [[Use spaced repetition to weed your digital garden]] > [!dataview]- Other unlinked mentions > > - [[Andy Matuschak's Evergreen Notes]] > - [[notes - Knowledge of the Mind]] > - [[topics]] > - [[Readwise (software)]] > - [[42 Knowledge Management]] > - [[A healthy second brain requires a surplus of entry points]] > - [[An experienced note taker knows how to work efficiently]] > - [[Defined relationships are superior to contextual backlinks]] > - [[Friction is a hindrance to learning]] > - [[How do we ensure our note systems scale correctly]] > - [[How to understand what you read]] > - [[Prioritize understanding over organization or categorization]] > - [[There is a limit to how much information you can process at once]] > - [[Tips for concentration]] > - [[Using spaced repetition for your conceptual notes]] > - [[Writing is a catalyst of understanding]] > - [[You need to remember what you read]] > - [[Your notes should be avenues for learning]] > - [[my TO(DO) and EVER(GREEN) structure]] > - [[Readwise Export for Obsidian - Templates and Process]]
