@EthanKKuntz here there’s a… proposed “repetition scheme”
We can only recommend an approximate temporary repetition scheme that goes as
follows.
The first remembering should be done after 40-60 minutes following the memorization.
It is during this time that the connections created once are destroyed in electric
memory.
The second remembering should be done after about three hours from the previous.
The third is done after about 6 hours and the fourth takes place the next morning.
This amount of repetitions is obligatory. Generally, the number of repetitions depends
on the complexity and volume of information. The more often you remember the data,
the better it is fixed in your brain.
Anyway, any new data must be remembered intensively within the first three-four days
after the primary memorization.
After such connection fixation it can be stored for approximately 6 weeks in your brain
even if you do not return to the information at all. After 6 weeks the data will gradually
start to erase.
This means that for the lifetime storage of information it should be remembered at least
once in 6 weeks.
If you memorize the necessary information that is regularly used in studying process or
at work, the information use will automatically keep it in memory.
If you memorized potentially necessary, but seldom used information, such data needs
to be regularly remembered in order to ensure its storage in the brain.
