If you have ever tried to cram for an exam, you know the feeling of forgetting everything a week later. Spaced repetition solves this by introducing carefully calculated intervals between reviews. This method leverages the way our brain naturally builds long term memory.
The Forgetting Curve
Hermann Ebbinghaus discovered that memory decays exponentially. By reviewing a word precisely when you are about to forget it, you flatten the curve and force your brain to remember it long term.
How Vocabitor Uses SRS
Vocabitor automatically tracks your interactions and schedules reviews across intervals: 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, and 1 month. You do not have to think about when to review words, as it happens automatically.
