What causes delayed repetitions?
Delayed repetitions are usually caused by a user’s failure to go through the allocated portion of the learning material. In massive incremental reading, delayed repetitions may also come by design as a result of material overload. Delayed repetitions will always result in an increased measured forgetting index (more forgetting) but can, paradoxically, save student’s time by increasing memory consolidation (the speed of learning might be highest for forgetting index around 20-30%). Using Postpone, the student can choose portions of material that will be protected from delay in massive incremental reading.
