Spaced repetition absolutely works. I can literally see it in the statistics as clear as day. This is in addition to all the scientific evidences.

- copperx 9y agoIt absolutely works to improve your recall of the test items, but who knows if it improves your short or long term memory in general. That is, does it make it easier to recall things that are not part of the spaced repetition training?
- gwern 9y agoI haven't seen any studies examining a broader transfer effect from spaced repetition. It seems unlikely - spaced repetition is just a hack of a normal memory mechanism for prioritizing factual knowledge, so why would explicit use of it have any generalized benefits? You are always being exposed to and remembering things, after all.
