How do the days in spaced repetition correspond to the Fibonacci sequence?
The concept of spaced repetition, frequently applied in learning and memory retention techniques, involves reviewing information at gradually increasing intervals over time. Surprisingly, the timing intervals in spaced repetition have been found to correspond closely to the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so on). In spaced repetition, the days between reviewing a piece of information tends to follow a similar pattern. For example, after reviewing something on day 1, it might be reviewed again after 1 day, then after 2 days, then after 3 days, then 5 days, and so on. This naturally aligns with the Fibonacci sequence, providing an intriguing connection between spaced repetition and mathematics.
