We did not find much of this knowledge in our daily lives. Without this repetition, the link dissolves." This is such an ironic reality that our current school system has essentially wasted most of our time (and continues to do so). The sooner spaced repetition algorithms are included into our schools I postulate an exponential increase in capability and productivity and a geometrical increase in average IQ. I like to think that in the recent Star Trek movie, during the scene where Spock and the other Vulcans are standing in the pods, reciting learned materials, that they are doing spaced repetitions. “That is why we often do not remember material we’ve had in school.
