HOW ARE MY FACTS SUGGESTED?
Your facts are suggested based on what you get right and wrong as you Quiz on Picmonics! For instance:
If you get a fact wrong, it will be prioritized first in your queue because you still need to review it, and get it right!
If you get a fact right, it will show up again too, but spaced out over increasing time intervals to optimize your retention.
WHY IS SPACED REPETITION IMPORTANT?
Science has affirmed that after we learn something, we forget it over time if there is no attempt to retain it. The forgetting curve represents that we tend to halve our memory of newly learned information in a matter of days unless we consciously review the learned material again.
Spaced repetition is a learning technique that incorporates increasing intervals of time between subsequent reviews of previously learned material to exploit the psychological spacing effect. The spacing effect is the phenomenon whereby learning is greater when studying is spread out over time, as opposed to studying the same amount of time in a single session.
By utilizing Picmonics daily quiz and spaced recognition, you’ll be conquering the forgetting curve in no time!
