About Gary

An idea worth spreading

I like to spread an idea called "spaced repetition," which is a technique to optimize learning discovered by Hermann Ebbinghaus, a pioneer in cognitive psychology, at the end of the 19th century. Spaced repetition, applied with a little discipline and some technological help, almost seems like magic. It's embodied in a number of modern learning tools, many of them free or low cost.
