How Does Brainscape Work?
Brainscape’s intelligent study system is grounded in decades of research on how people learn best. Here’s a breakdown of how it enhances your study sessions:
Active Recall: Each flashcard presents a question and an answer, prompting you to retrieve information from memory, which strengthens your recall abilities.
Self-Assessment: After each recall attempt, you rate your confidence on a scale from 1 to 5. This rating helps Brainscape adjust the frequency of review for each flashcard based on how well you know the information.
Spaced Repetition: Brainscape uses your self-assessment to schedule flashcards at optimal intervals. If you know a card well, it will appear less often; if you struggle with it, it will show up more frequently until you’ve mastered it.
This combination of active recall, self-assessment, and spaced repetition is scientifically proven to make your study sessions more effective and efficient.
