Individualized Spaced Repetition in Hierarchical Knowledge Structures

Optimized, Individualized Spaced Repetition in Hierarchical Knowledge Structures.
Spaced repetition is complicated in hierarchical bodies of knowledge, like mathematics, because repetitions on advanced topics should “trickle down” to update the repetition schedules of simpler topics that are implicitly practiced (while being discounted appropriately since these repetitions are often too early to count for full credit towards the next repetition). However, I developed a model of Fractional Implicit Repetition (FIRe) that not only accounts for implicit “trickle-down” repetitions but also minimizes the number of reviews by choosing reviews whose implicit repetitions “knock out” other due reviews (like dominos), and calibrates the speed of the spaced repetition process to each individual student on each individual topic (student ability and topic difficulty are competing factors).
