Complete guide to science-backed spaced repetition (SM-2)
Understand how Reminda schedules reviews right before memories fade using the SM-2 algorithm.
Spaced repetition is a cognitive learning technique where review intervals expand exponentially as knowledge is reinforced. Reminda automates this entire process based on the proven SM-2 algorithm.
When you review a flashcard or memory prompt, you rate your recall difficulty:
• Again: The concept was forgotten. Reminda will present it again within 10 minutes.
• Hard: You remembered with significant effort. Interval increases slightly (+1.2x).
• Good: Perfect recall with normal effort. Interval expands optimally (+2.5x).
• Easy: Instantaneous recall. Interval expands significantly (+3.5x).
By spending just 5-10 minutes daily reviewing items due in your queue, you lock in long-term memory retention of 90%+ without hours of inefficient re-reading.
