The Science of Memory Retention

When you first learn a fact, it is stored in your short-term memory. Without review, you will forget it within days. Active recall forces your brain to search for the answer, building stronger neural pathways.

Spaced repetition schedules reviews right before you forget. Each time you retrieve the information, the rate of decay slows down, shifting the knowledge into long-term memory.
