Spaced Repetitions is a Wonderful Way to Learn New Material
Repetition is the mother of learning. And, indeed, the more often we repeat the learned material, the lower the rate of forgetting it. The spaced repetition method will help you remember information of any volume. If you need to quickly learn a verse or prepare for an exam in an emergency mode, use the following repetition algorithm:
the first - 20 minutes after memorization;
the second - after 6 - 8 hours;
the third - in a day.
For better assimilation, it is recommended not only to re-read the material, but to actively retrieve it from memory, that is, to remember, peeping at the source.
If you have to remember a large amount of information that will be useful to you not only for the next day or week, follow the following repetition interval:
the first - directly on the day of memorization (repeat all the material);
the second - after 3 days (repeat only the key points that are highlighted by the author himself or by you);
the third - after 6 days (repeat all the information, but try to do it in a different order).
Ideally, it is recommended to repeat the studied material daily, but give it no more than 15 - 20 minutes, so as not to overload the brain. Another tip: try to explain incomprehensible or difficult-to-remember moments to someone. If there are no people who want to listen to a lecture on the theory of probability or the significance of the Renaissance in painting, just say the part of the information that causes the greatest difficulty to an imaginary interlocutor. In the process of such a presentation, the brain will automatically select the most simplified formulations.
