This is a German psychologistHermann EbbinghausThe phenomenon "disperse effect" described for the first time, the human being learned one thing after learning time, when learning the same again, the longer the vacant time, the second learning by Memory remains strong. It is often taken out during learningOblivion curveIt also has relevance, and it tells us that iterative learning with a certain period of time is important to leave knowledge in mind.
