⏰ Initial Learning Phase
Right after the reading, performance immediately, preferably within 10 to 30 minutes, in order to reinforce the first memory encoding and to reveal the understanding gaps early.
📅 Spaced Repetition Schedule
Start with day 1 for blurring and move to 3, 7, and then 14 days after the learning process in order to harness the effect of spaced retrieval for the long-lasting memory.
🎯 Daily Practice Sessions
Every day, 15-20 minutes will be devoted to different topics in the form of blurting. Besides, the memory consolidation will be achieved through short, frequent sessions rather than the lengthy, infrequent cramming.
🔄 Multiple Attempts Per Topic
Across different study sessions, the same material can be blurred 3 to 5 times. Each time of retrieval will not only strengthen more neural pathways but also improve the recall accuracy by a large amount.
📝 Pre-Exam Intensification
In the two weeks leading to the exams, the frequency of blurting can be increased to every 2 or 3 days, targeting the difficult topics that need stronger retrieval pathways.
🧩 Topic Complexity Adjustment
2 or 3 sessions for simple concepts, 5 or more for complex material. Your performance and the topic's difficulty should determine the number of sessions.
⚡ Active Recall Timing
Blurt when the information is on the edge of being forgotten but still retrievable. This sweet spot of having some difficulty is where learning and memory durability become most effective.
🔍 Quality Over Quantity
Meaningful sessions, where retrieval is genuine, should be the focus rather than frequent superficial attempts. Practice that is of quality yields better learning outcomes than that of quantity.
