The science, in plain language.

Recurve is built on two well‑studied ideas — spacing and retrieval practice. Reviews are short, timed, and designed to strengthen recall (not just recognition).

Spacing

Intervals expand as you learn

Each successful review increases the time before you need to see a card again — while keeping it available on cue.

  • Short sessions beat one long cram.
  • Reviews stay small as intervals widen.
Schedule
Spacing
Day 0 Day 1 Day 3 Day 7 Day 14
Recurve schedules the next review right before you’d forget — so learning stays available without constant repetition.
Retrieval Practice

Recall builds memory

Testing yourself strengthens learning more than rereading. Recurve is built around active recall.

  • Fast, low‑friction prompts.
  • Immediate feedback keeps you honest.

Question
What’s the key difference between recognition and recall?
Answer
Recognition is “that looks familiar.” Recall is generating the answer from memory — and it strengthens learning.
Forgetting Curve

Forget fast at first — then it flattens

Forgetting happens fastest soon after learning. Timely review slows the decline and stabilizes memory.

  • Recurve nudges you at the right moment.
  • Small sessions keep you ready on cue.
