Why it mattersGuides the timing of revision cycles to maximize memory efficiency.
Application Strength
The Transfer of Learning
Evaluates the ability to apply learned concepts to new, unseen problem scenarios. This is the truest test of deep understanding.
Why it mattersHighlights the difference between rote memorization and conceptual mastery.
Exploration Ability
The Courage to Question
