Our book club decided to experiment with spaced repetition techniques to actually retain what we read instead of forgetting everything by the next meeting, but three months in we're all over the place - some people are religiously using flashcards, others gave up after two weeks, and a few are trying completely different methods. Our discussions have gotten weird because we're all remembering different levels of detail and it's creating this unspoken hierarchy based on who's 'doing the system right.'
More people experience this than they realize.
A shared learning experiment reveals how different approaches to remembering can inadvertently stratify a group and complicate the very connection they sought to deepen.
“Where Are You with Spaced repetition and the science of remembering?”
