Spaced Repetition

Meaning

Spaced Repetition, when applied to health education and behavioral modification, is a learning technique where essential health information and required protocol steps are intentionally revisited at progressively increasing intervals. This cognitive strategy is designed to counteract the natural forgetting curve, ensuring the long-term retention of complex hormonal health knowledge and the sustained execution of lifestyle behaviors. It is a powerful tool for embedding health literacy into the patient’s long-term memory.
