That's the forgetting curve in action.

这就是遗忘曲线的作用。

And the idea behind space repetition is that space repetition interrupts the forgetting curve.

间隔重复背后的想法是它打断了遗忘曲线。

And the idea is that you're interrupting the forgetting curve at spaced intervals.

这个过程就是你在以不同的间隔打断这个遗忘曲线。

Basically there's a concept called the forgetting curve that was discovered by a chap called Ebbinghaus in like the 1800's.

有一个叫做遗忘曲线的概念，是在 19 世纪由一个叫艾宾浩斯的家伙发现的。

One of the best ways to reduce the effects of the forgetting curve is to actively recall what you learned with spaced repetition.

要想减少遗忘曲线对你的影响，最好的方法之一就是每隔一段时间积极地回忆此前学过的内容。

19th century psychologist Herman Ebbinghaus, demonstrated that we normally forget 40% of new material within the first twenty minutes, a phenomenon known as the forgetting curve.

十九世纪的心理学家，赫尔曼·艾宾浩斯发现，一般在20分钟内我们会忘记40%的新事物，这个现象被称作" 遗忘曲线" 。

The thing that I personally take home from the forgetting curve is... is actually that, you know, the intervals at which we space things apart.

我个人从遗忘曲线中学到的是......实际上，你知道，我们把东西分开的间隔。

The important thing about the forgetting curve and how we can take advantage of it is that every time we interrupt forgetting curve, it then takes longer for us to forget something.

关于遗忘曲线以及我们如何利用它的重要一点是，每次我们打断遗忘曲线，我们就需要更长的时间来忘记一些事情。

And the forgetting curve is that whenever we learn anything, whether it's like a fact or a skill or whatever. We're just gonna forget it.

遗忘曲线是每当我们学到任何东西，无论是事实还是技能或其他什么。我们会忘记。

But thankfully we can combat the forgetting curve by using this concept of spaced repetition, this applies not just to exams, but to any other skill as well.

但幸运的是，我们可以通过使用间隔重复的概念来对抗遗忘曲线，这不仅适用于考试，也适用于任何其他技能。

And the idea is that over time, as we repeat the testing and as we space that out over time, and that is what's gonna lead to the forgetting curve being interrupted permanently.

这个想法是，随着时间的推移，当我们重复测试并随着时间的推移将其分开时，这将使遗忘曲线永久中断。

And that's kind of the key thing to spaced repetition is to interrupt our forgetting curve so that we keep stuff in our brains for a longer period of time.

间隔重复的关键是中断我们的遗忘曲线，这样我们就可以把东西更久地保存在大脑里。

Basically, the idea is that whenever we remember anything, whenever, whenever we learn anything, our memory for that thing exponentially decays and this is called the forgetting curve, which was discovered by a chap called Ebbinghaus in like the 1800s.

基本上，它的想法是，每当我们记忆任何内容，无论何时，无论何时我们学到任何东西，我们对它的记忆会呈指数级衰退，这就是所谓的遗忘曲线，这是一个叫艾宾浩斯的人在 19 世纪发现的。

Basically, the reason why it works is because of something called the forgetting curve and that's something that's been around in the psychology literature since the 1800s and that's something that we can all probably intuitively experience for ourselves.

基本上，它起作用的原因是因为一种叫做遗忘曲线的东西，它自 19 世纪以来一直存在于心理学文献中，我们都可以凭直觉亲身体验到。
