Learning architecture

Practice that changes what you know.

Learn, recall, mix related topics, then rehearse under time.

01

Retrieve

Answer before revealing. Every lesson should quickly turn into an attempt, not another pass through notes.

02

Space

Return to weak objectives over expanding intervals instead of concentrating all repetitions in one sitting.

03

Interleave

Mix nearby problem types after initial instruction so learners practice choosing a method—not just repeating it.

04

Explain

Review why the correct option works, why every distractor fails, and what misconception produced the miss.
