Man, those two comments sound uncharitable. In the first paragraph Andy states:

The words "prompt"/"spaced repetition" are basic jargon for such systems.
But to make this comment at least a bit helpful, too: An example of a "prompt" in a spaced repetition system is the front of a flashcard. It's "spaced repetition" because you look at them multiple times, spaced out over time.
- bertylicious 6y agoSo it is something rather trivial indeed.
- evgen 6y agoYour persistent desire to expose your ignorance and belligerence to us all on this subject is quite fascinating. Spaced repetition as a mnemonic tool and pedagogical technique has decades of scientific research behind it and a simple search on Citeseer leads me to more than a thousand citations. It is neither trivial or pseudo-scientific. Maybe it is time to stop digging.
