Repetition

Repetition or review in spaced repetition stands for an act of retrieving information from memory. In SuperMemo it usually follows the following steps:

1. the student is asked a question
2. the student answers the question (e.g. in her mind)
3. the student provides a grade for the accuracy of the answer

The term review may additionally refer to the act of passive reading of a portion of a text in incremental reading.
