Ebbinghaus's Forgetting Curve

If you learn something once again, the forgetting rate slows down. Moreover, this effect can be applied repeatedly, so the more reviews overlap, the slower the forgetting rate becomes. In addition, the amount that ultimately remains in long-term memory also increases.

24 hours after learning: 10%

2 minutes of study immediately after the lecture: 40%

2 minutes + regular review: 60%

Preparation + immediate 2 minutes + regular -> 80%
