If you\u2019re looking for simple, cost-effective, and versatile ways to boost learner retention throughout your organization, you\u2019ll benefit from learning how to use spaced repetition. And if you already know how to use this learning strategy, it might be time to brush up on best practices for incorporating it throughout your current framework.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering how to do spaced repetition and\/or incorporate spaced repetition learning into your organization\u2019s approach, read on to discover:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is spaced repetition?<\/li>\n<li>How to use spaced repetition<\/li>\n<li>3 examples of spaced repetition in practice<\/li>\n<li>Work smarter, not harder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n<h2>What is spaced repetition?<\/h2>\n<p>Spaced repetition, also called distributed practice, is a simple process.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a memorization technique that optimizes a learner\u2019s capacity for long-term memory retention. Spaced repetition involves asking learners to practice \u201cactive recall,\u201d or actively retrieve pieces of information from their memory, at gradually increasing intervals.<\/p>\n<p>These intervals are determined strategically based on a spaced-repetition system algorithm or schedule. There are a range of different systems to choose from, which we\u2019ll discuss later.<\/p>\n<h3>History of spaced repetition<\/h3>\n<p>In 1885, German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus (1850-1909) published his discovery of the learning and forgetting curves, which he represented via graphs illustrating the relationship between time and memory.<\/p>\n<div class='related-insight'><a href='https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/blogs\/what-is-the-learning-curve-2\/'><h5>Related<\/h5><p>What Is the Learning Curve?

He called this phenomenon the \u201cspacing effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About a century later, Peter Wozniack developed the first spaced repetition system from Ebbinghaus\u2019 ideas\u2014the infamous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supermemo.com\/en\/supermemo-method\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SuperMemo<\/a> system\u2014popularizing spaced repetition as a learning strategy.<\/p>\n<h3>The science behind spaced repetition<\/h3>\n<p>Spaced repetition is a sort of brain hack. Imagine a hacker altering \u201csource code,\u201d or a learner\u2019s memory, from the back end. They combat the \u201cvirus,\u201d or malware containing the effects of time passing on memory, with a strategically-designed systematic algorithm.<\/p>\n<p>By reviewing material at predetermined and gradually increasing optimal intervals, this algorithmic learning strategy leverages the spacing effect\u2014which illustrates that 5 repetitions of information at optimally spaced out intervals is more effective than 10 repetitions in a single day\u2014to increase long-term memorization capacity.<\/p>\n<p>By interrupting forgetting at key points along the forgetting curve\u2019s timeline, the spaced repetition method bolsters neural pathways in the long run and increases storage strength\u2014the degree of depth to which memories are stored. As a result of the increasing time between intervals, learners are also forced to exert more subconscious mental effort in order to actively retrieve the information. This means that the spaced repetition technique also enhances retrieval strength\u2014the degree of ease with which memories can be accessed.<\/p>\n<p>These intermittent interruptions demand active engagement from learners and flatten the forgetting curve, working against the \u201cvirus\u201d of time to make for better learning outcomes.<\/p>\n<h2>How to use spaced repetition<\/h2>\n<p>The benefits of spaced repetition are clear: it not only improves memory retention but also a learner&#8217;s capacity to gain and apply truly transferable knowledge. Plus, it approaches <a href=\"https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/learning-principles\/learning-is-a-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">learning as a process<\/a> rather than a destination, unlike traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/neuroscience\/rote-learning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rote memorization<\/a> or cramming methods. Spaced repetition is an especially <a href=\"https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/blogs\/what-is-adult-learning-theory-andragogy-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">effective strategy for adult learners<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But how can you actually use spaced repetition to help learners grow, make knowledge actually stick, and achieve lasting results for your team? How might this method help you meet people where they are and create real change?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at a few best practices for applying spaced repetition to your learning.<\/p>\n<h3>Choose a spaced repetition schedule<\/h3>\n<p>First, you\u2019ll need to select an algorithm or schedule that outlines optimal intervals for reviewing information.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few popular methodologies you can consider while determining which schedule you\u2019ll follow.<\/p>\n<h4>Piotr Wozniak\u2019s revolutionary SuperMemo (SM-2) system<\/h4>\n<p>This algorithm can be used for learning a wide variety of information, including material presented in visual formats. It\u2019s the most common spaced-repetition system, and it suggests the following intervals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1st repetition: 1 day after initial learning<\/li>\n<li>2nd: 7 days after initial learning<\/li>\n<li>3rd: 16 days after initial learning<\/li>\n<li>4th: 35 days after initial learning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Sebastian Leitner\u2019s bare-bones Leitner system<\/h4>\n<p>This manual approach requires five different boxes, which are used to categorize flashcards featuring bits of information. If the learner remembers the information on the flashcard, they move it \u201cup\u201d one box (from box one to box two). If they don\u2019t, they move it \u201cdown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although there&#8217;s no single right timeline, as the exact intervals for implementing the Leitner system vary according to interpretation, you can refer to this commonly-used schedule:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Box 1 \u2014 Every day<\/li>\n<li>Box 2 \u2014 Every 2 days<\/li>\n<li>Box 3 \u2014 Every 3 days<\/li>\n<li>Box 4 \u2014 Every 9 days<\/li>\n<li>Box 5 \u2014 Every 14 days<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7783 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Blog-in-post-image-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Blog-in-post-image-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Blog-in-post-image-600x245.jpg 600w, https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Blog-in-post-image-1024x419.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Blog-in-post-image-768x314.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Blog-in-post-image-1536x628.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Blog-in-post-image-2048x838.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once the learner has successfully recalled the information on a flashcard in Box 5 a few times, the flashcard can be retired. The exact number of successful recalls required for material in the final box to be retired is also debated by learning professionals, so trial and error is key to discovering how many repetitions are right for your team with this framework.<\/p>\n<h4>Pimsleur\u2019s effective language-learning method<\/h4>\n<p>This algorithmic spaced-repetition method works similarly to the SuperMemo system but was designed for enhancing language-acquisition efforts.<\/p>\n<p>This means it works best for material presented via auditory and oratory formats, as its optimal intervals were determined based on how learners\u2019 brains process this specific type of material. Here\u2019s the schedule it suggests, which should be followed immediately after initial learning:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5 seconds<\/li>\n<li>25 seconds<\/li>\n<li>2 minutes<\/li>\n<li>10 minutes<\/li>\n<li>1 hour<\/li>\n<li>5 hours<\/li>\n<li>1 day<\/li>\n<li>5 days<\/li>\n<li>25 days<\/li>\n<li>4 months<\/li>\n<li>2 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to Pimsleur\u2019s research, immediately reviewing material 5 seconds after it\u2019s introduced, then 25 seconds, then 2 minutes, and so on, helps audial and oral information stick in the brain more effectively from the start.<\/p>\n<p>This is the difference between his and Wozniak\u2019s approach. But similarly to the SuperMemo system, you can see that it then suggests returning to the same material after a longer time period has passed to solidify knowledge. You can use an app, a software system, a manual approach, or a combination of the three to help you and your team stick to these intervals.<\/p>\n<h3>Conduct a pre-assessment<\/h3>\n<p>Your spaced repetition schedule is set\u2014what\u2019s next? Before you start introducing material to learners, evaluate their pre-learning knowledge levels with a pre-assessment. You can implement this via any format you see fit\u2014qualitative written evaluations, multiple-choice assessments, or online quizzes.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever method you choose, it\u2019s essential to establish a baseline that you can later use to determine the effectiveness of your learning initiative. This also helps you <a href=\"https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/learning-principles\/learning-should-meet-people-where-they-are\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meet learners where they are<\/a>, which is a central facet of effective learning! Make sure to focus on the most important material and the metrics you\u2019re trying to improve upon.<\/p>\n<div class='featured-cta'>\n<div class='imageblock' style='background-image:url(https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/LEA-CTA-1-aspect-ratio-16-9.png);'><div class='aspect-ratio'><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='featured-content'>\n<h5>How to conduct a Learning Environment Analysis<\/h5>\n<p>In this guide, you\u2019ll find an in-depth overview of a Learning Environment Analysis, a powerful framework for accurately understanding adult learners\u2019 previous knowledge, current challenges, and needs so that you can design the right learning solution.

Review previously-introduced material while mixing in new material simultaneously\u2014this simple trick will increase the rates of transferable-knowledge acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>Be creative with the methods you use to introduce and review material. Make sure to include activities aimed at a range of learning preferences, because all learners are unique. Integrate lots of microlearning approaches, and you can utilize a mix of <a href=\"https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/blogs\/synchronous-vs-asynchronous-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">synchronous and asynchronous learning<\/a> techniques.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s critical to remember that learning is a process, not a one-time solution. It\u2019s okay if learners forget the material, especially because you now have a plan to boost long-term retention! That\u2019s simply a part of the journey.<\/p>\n<h3>Conduct a post-assessment<\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve completed the spaced-repetition schedule, conduct a <a href=\"https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/blogs\/post-assessment-feedback-in-articulate-storyline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post-assessment<\/a> to evaluate its success. This allows you to determine how much your efforts have impacted knowledge retention rates and gives you all the information you need to improve upon your future initiatives.<\/p>\n<h2>Spaced repetition in practice: 3 examples<\/h2>\n<p>To illustrate when and how you might use it, let\u2019s look at three practical examples of spaced repetition.<\/p>\n<h3>Gamified activities and assessments<\/h3>\n<p>Weave intermittent practice activities, quizzes, and knowledge checks to test retention throughout each stage of your learning experience. Games like \u201cSpot the Error,\u201d \u201cJeopardy,\u201d and \u201cBingo\u201d can be <a href=\"https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/disciplines\/#capabilities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">customized to meet your organization\u2019s needs<\/a> and allow you to get an idea of what your team members know while solidifying their knowledge.<\/p>\n<h3>Scenario-based interactions and integrated practice activities<\/h3>\n<p>Once the learning experience is complete, spaced repetition can be continuously integrated into long-term employee development efforts. Think learning initiatives focused on practical knowledge, throughout which you can leverage role-plays, games, and innovative practice activities that reinforce material at scheduled checkpoints while keeping your learners engaged. You can also leverage <a href=\"https:\/\/maestrolearning.com\/blogs\/5-trends-in-employee-training-and-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;learning in the flow of work&#8221;<\/a> to incorporate spaced-repetition-inspired learning less formally, by weaving these activities throughout daily workflows.<\/p>\n<h3>Facilitator-led, learner-centered check-ins<\/h3>\n<p>Conducting one-on-one meetings between leadership and team members at optimized intervals is a great way to incorporate spaced repetition. During these check-ins, utilize diverse, creative, and learner-focused ways of reviewing the material.<\/p>\n<p>Some leaders choose to review general workflow processes, policies, and practices, while others prioritize reintroducing more specific information. Either approach works. It just depends on what your priorities are, and which areas you\u2019re looking to improve upon. You might conduct an open-forum discussion about organizational values and goals, ask the learner to explain a technical concept in their own words, or have them prepare a short presentation on what they learned.<\/p>\n<h2>Work smarter, not harder<\/h2>\n<p>You weren\u2019t the only high-school student wondering how to remember what you study with less effort.
