If a given repetition has a long spacing, say 9 months, and the person does a review early, say at 3 months, what does that do to the schedule?
The earlier the repetition, the more pronounced the spacing effect. In other words, early repetitions are less effective in building memory stability. Hence the need to find a compromise between long intervals (forgetting) and short intervals (spacing effect). You can execute “forced repetitions” in SuperMemo 2004 and later and the repetition spacing algorithm will take the premature timing in the account. However, premature repetitions should be avoided if possible.
