Patent NZ-521692-A (NZ)
Title: Computer assisted learning with question re- presentation frequency dependent on previous responses
Inventor: VAUGHAN WILLIAM
IPC: G09B7/02
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: A learning method to enhance long-term retention of a large number of learned facts or principles. The method presents items to a User repeatedly and, depending on the recall of the User, the time between presentations of a properly recalled item increases. Items being presented for the first time and those presented a subsequent time before being properly answered are designated Unseen Items and 0-Level Items, respectively. During each session, a raw score is assigned to the item (related to the User's ability of recall with the item). When its raw score becomes sufficiently high, the item is considered a P-Level Item, after which it is presented less frequently and the rate of presentation continually decreases as the User demonstrates that he or she knows the correct response for the particular P-Level Item. The number of Sessions that are skipped before the particular P-Level item is re- presented to the User is based on the User's Level L in recalling the correct answer to the item. In this way, known items are repeatedly presented to the User with an ever-increasing interval between presentations. If the User fails to recall the item, the Level of the item is decremented and the time to next presentation decreased. As the User is working with this method, the progress of the User is recorded in a form available for review.
