AI-Assisted Spaced Retrieval
After a Socratic learning session, ask AI to generate retrieval questions at increasing intervals (1 day, 3 days, a week) instead of relying on random memory.
Goal
Consolidate knowledge into long-term memory via automated spaced-retrieval scheduling, not random review.
Steps
-
1
After any learning session (Socratic or reading), ask AI: "Generate 5 retrieval [not definitional] questions about this topic".
Expected Outcome
Evidence base
School: Spaced Repetition / Cognitive Science
Founders: Hermann Ebbinghaus · Piotr Wozniak (1885)
Ebbinghaus's 1885 forgetting curve and Wozniak's SuperMemo algorithms (since 1987) proved increasing-interval retrieval beats any fixed or random review schedule.
