Review information at expanding intervals (increasing from days to weeks to months) rather than massing repetitions into a single session to maximize long-term retention with minimal total study time.
Why This Is a Principle
This is a derived principle from Exponential Information Decay (exponential forgetting) and Encoding Depth Determines Retention (encoding depth determines retention). It prescribes a specific timing strategy (expanding intervals) that follows from the axioms about memory decay rates. Not an axiom itself because it's prescriptive action derived from descriptive facts about memory.
