Spaced repetition is interesting, but I was under the impression that it was most helpful for improved memorization. I've always taken the criticism of the education system that it doesn't do a good job of making the material part of the student as the most important critique.
Is there such a thing as learning without any memorization? And there's little point in studying how it aids abstraction & conceptual understanding if you can't even get the schools to use it for learning English or foreign language vocab, for example.
