@JamesSCraik Depends what you mean by feedback, but there are some good studies on the interval between restudy sessions and the delay until testing, which seem to be relevant: https://t.co/BtdgbLDhk7 ($)

What people are saying
The overall tone shows strong interest and agreement with the article's conclusions, as evidenced by references to specific studies and suggestions for practical application, such as adjusting study intervals based on retention period. The language used, from technical references to practical advice, indicates active engagement and recognition of the publication's relevance in educational contexts.
Most discussions recognize the importance of the article's findings on spacing effects, with some referencing specific studies or suggesting practical applications, indicating general agreement.
Participants demonstrate high interest, often mentioning recommended intervals, practical implications, and recent contradicting studies, which shows active engagement and curiosity.
Responses include sharing related studies, suggesting further reading, and discussing methodology, showing thoughtful participation beyond surface-level comments.
The discussions suggest the article has modest but notable impact, influencing ideas about effective study strategies and educational practices, though some are still contemplating its implications.
Abstract in brief
- The study examined how the timing between study sessions (spacing) affects long-term retention of information over periods up to 35 months and beyond, revealing that optimal spacing increases with longer delays but overall proportionally decreases as the test delay lengthens.
- Initially, increasing the gap between study sessions improves retention, but after a certain point, further increasing the gap reduces effectiveness, showing a complex relationship between spacing and retention over time.
- The findings suggest that many educational practices may be inefficient because they do not account for how optimal spacing needs to change depending on the length of the retention interval, which varies significantly in real-world learning scenarios.

Most liked on X and Bluesky@PearceMrs Really interesting study. Would recommend checking out this one https://t.co/U5bq9LPzqw (actually gives some specific suggested intervals) and also this recent one that seems to slightly contradict it https://t.co/XjaBm2iJX3. Think you’ll like them

@mariaef291 Hola, María. Todo depende de cuál sea el periodo de retención, es decir, el tiempo entre el último repaso y la evaluación. Cuanto más largo este, más largos deben ser los espacios entre sesiones de estudio. Aquí un artículo al respecto: https://t.co/auV1138rpj
