In the process, the formulas and concepts are repeatedly recalled and tested. Once understood, these concepts provide context for new concepts and information which allows broader and deeper understanding to accumulate. If you are thinking of the Forgetting Curve, keep in mind that years can go by between reviews, and that’s for arbitrary information, not concepts and methods that reinforce other concepts and methods.
