Primes¶
- Spaced Repetition
- Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
Domain-specific¶
- Retrieval Practice
- The critical variable is not exposure duration or even conscious attention but the effortful generative act of producing the target from a cue — reading the answer when it is shown (re-reading, recognition) produces substantially weaker retention than producing the answer from the cue alone
This sourceShows that after word pairs were learned, repeated retrieval practice greatly improved one-week recall while repeated restudy added nothing.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
