Interesting. Have you ever tried using the spaced repetition learning method by revisiting something in rapid succession, in many different places? I'd be interested to see how that compares to the standard method.

No; I don't have any metrics set up (Mnemosyne doesn't collect that sort of statistic) and by all accounts, the effect is fairly weak - nothing like spaced versus massed.
