How this site teaches: retrieval, spacing, worked examples

This concept is being written. It gets the full five steps — explanation, predict, interview angle, practice with tests, and review cards. Here is exactly what it will cover, so you can study it elsewhere in the meantime.

What it covers

  • why re-reading feels good but works poorly
  • retrieval practice
  • spaced reviews and FSRS in plain words
  • worked → faded → independent ladder
  • mastery gates G1–G4
  • what the research does and does not say (Dunlosky 2013, Roediger & Karpicke 2006, Cepeda 2008)
