Thank you. I suppose I was downvoted, hiding your careful response, because I appeared to be pitching a product. I was attempting a precise analogy, I had nothing to gain from the promotion. I was robbed on BART recently, and my judgment is off. I've relied heavily on spaced practice for learning languages for travel. There are two phases to that experience: Study, where one takes in as much as possible, then real world practice without further study. I find myself wishing I'd memorized a play for the first phase, to access faster than a phrase book on the ground, with lots of pathway shortening while I travel. Learning models tend to assume learning is single-phased, though even more academic learning is two phased: acquire, then later apply.

That's actually where the inspiration of my work comes in. Outside of academia, I also teach martial arts, where practice is often structured as "present" -> "practice" -> "introduce new element" -> "practice" -> "introduce new element" -> repeat. The hope is the training regimens will help model that a little. Another note when I think about learning is how, as adults, we are resistant to many of the techniques we give children. Thinking about Sesame Street, think about how much a skit/song will focus solely on something like the number 3. Simplified language, repetition, and enjoyable content are things adults think are "beneath them" despite the fact they work, just not as "fast" as adults want.
