At Mem-App, we're committed to helping you expand your vocabulary effectively and efficiently. Mem-App leverages a scientifically proven method known as spaced repetition to optimize the review process of your vocabulary list. Let's delve into how this algorithm works and introduce an exciting new improvement.
Understanding Spaced Repetition
The concept of spaced repetition was first introduced in the 1880s by German scientist Hermann Ebbinghaus. The technique is imeplemneted by Leitner system for flashcards. This method is based on the principle that information is more effectively memorized and retained when reviews are spaced out over time.
How It Works in Mem-App
In Mem-App, our spaced repetition algorithm determines the optimal time to review a word based on your responses. When you review a word, you can choose "Yes, Remembered" or "No, Forgot."
- Yes, Remembered: If you select this option, the word is up-ranked, and the app schedules the next review for a wider interval in the future. This means you will review the word after a longer period, allowing your memory to strengthen.
- No, Forgot: If you select this option, the word is down-ranked, and the app schedules the next review for the following day. This ensures that you revisit the word soon and reinforce your memory through repetition.
New Improvement: Time Zone-Based Scheduling
We are excited to announce enhancement to our spaced repetition algorithm: time zone-based scheduling. Previously, the review dates were calculated without considering the user's local time zone. With this update, the app now takes into account the time offset of your location, ensuring that reviews are scheduled at the right day based on your timezone.
Why This Matters
By aligning review schedules with your local time zone, you can:
- Maintain a consistent review routine, regardless of where you are.
- Experience fewer disruptions due to mismatched timings.
- Enhance the overall effectiveness of the spaced repetition method by ensuring reviews occur at optimal times.
We believe this improvement will make your vocabulary learning journey smoother and more personalized. As always, our goal at Mem-App is to provide you with the best tools to master new words and expand your vocabulary seamlessly.
