間隔重複
外觀
間隔重複(英語:Spaced repetition)是一種利用心理學間隔效應,通過不斷複習所學內容並逐步增加兩次複習間的時間間隔來提升效率的學習技巧。[1]
間隔重複適用於諸多學習情境,特別是學習者需要牢固記憶大量知識的情形,比如外語詞彙的學習,尤其是在目標語言的基礎詞彙數量很大的時候。
研究和應用
[編輯]將間隔重複應用到學習上的觀點最初見於塞西爾·阿萊克·梅斯1932的著作《學習心理學》中:「那些關於恰當分佈學習時間的發現大概是最爲重要的……對知識的複習和回顧應該反覆多次,並且逐漸增加時間間隔,比如一天、兩天、四天、八天,以此類推。」[2]
1939年,H·F·Spitzer在愛荷華州對36名學生進行了一項實驗,驗證了間隔重複方法的效果。這一工作起初並未引起關注,直到20世紀60年代,認知心理學家亞瑟·梅爾頓[3]、托馬斯·蘭道爾及羅伯特·A·比約克[4]再次研究了間隔時間對於複習效果的影響。大概在同一時間,皮姆斯勒語言計畫率先決定將間隔重複理論應用於語言學習。1973年,瑟巴斯坦·萊特納發明了他的「萊特納系統」——一種基於抽認卡的全功能間隔重複學習系統。
隨著20世紀80年代個人計算機的普及,基於間隔重複方法的軟體被廣泛應用於計算機輔助語言學習。通過軟體的自動發放和統計,學習者可以通過間隔重複的方法辨認數以千計的抽認卡。[5] 為了使用戶達到目標水平(例如,在任何給定時間點正確辨認90%的卡片),軟體會調整重複的時間間隔。難以辨認的詞彙經常出現,並且簡單詞彙出現頻率較低,其詞彙難度由軟體根據用戶的辨認正確率確定。
