What information does RecallPlus record – what remembering forgetting information?
RecallPlus observes you studying over time, how often you remember and forget, related to how many revisions of a given piece of information you have done, and how ‘overdue’ that information is for testing. Information for example, after first viewing, is due for first revision at 10 mins (to make sure it did not go in 1 ear and out the other). If you revise it at 11 minutes, then you are revising at 10% ‘overdue for testing’. Ideally that time is zero, but in the real world that is never the case. Obviously the more overdue for testing it is however, the more likely you are to have forgotten it. Hence the following graph… which is what you see when you review the RecallPlus forgetting curves. This is 1 forgetting curve vs percent overdue. In RecallPlus we record a forgetting curve for each interval index (where the first revision is the first interval, and the second revision … e.g. 80 minutes is the second interval – and second graph).
