Spacing
Memory Formation
Principle in Action
Brainscape is a digital adaptive flashcard platform. It spaces out study sessions with each session limited to 10 flashcards to prevent overwhelming learners with large content sets. Flashcards are repeated at personalized intervals based on the learner’s self-rated confidence. The system also counteracts potential mastery overestimation by strategically spacing repetitions. By prompting review of challenging flashcards, it helps learners consolidate knowledge and build long-term memory.

When do learners get opportunities to practice skills in your product?
How often do you want your learners to practice key skills?
How many times will they be exposed to each key skill?
How much time will it require for learners to complete practicing?
How can you incentivize learners to space out their studying effectively over time?
Principle Definition
Leave some time in between study/practice sessions to consolidate learning. Learning works better when you spread out your practice over time instead of doing everything at once. The result is generally only seen on a delayed test.
