Cepeda, Distributed practice in verbal recall tasks: A review and quantitative synthesis

    The ISI is an interval of time
   
    Acquisition  the retention at the last time you learned it
   
    Accuracy - How well you retain it at the final
   
    Align the ISI with the retention interval good things happen
   
    The inverted U - you can't keep making the ISI the better sometimes the longer will reduce the effectiveness
   
    Retention interval is the time from the last practice to the final test
   
    Acquisition 355 - performance (how accurate) on the final learning trial
   
    If you review too often you stop caring and then the review becomes less effective
