The SuperMemo SM-2 Algorithm & The Forgetting Curve

Discovered by Hermann Ebbinghaus in 1885, the human brain forgets up to 70% of new information within 48 hours unless actively retrieved. Piotr WoΕΊniak synthesized this into the SM-2 Spaced Repetition Algorithm: by reviewing a flashcard at expanding intervals right at the moment of near-forgetting, synaptic strength increases exponentially while minimizing total study time.

Active Recall Over Highlighting

Re-reading notes creates fluency illusion. Flashcards force the neural retrieval effort that triggers long-term potentiation in the hippocampus.
