Why does not the first repetition after forgetting occur the next day after the unsuccessful repetition (this is advised by Tony Buzan and others)?
In SuperMemo, the length of the first interval is computed from the forgetting curve plotted in the course of repetitions. This is to make sure that a defined proportion of items is remembered (usually 80-97%). This proportion is programmed by means of the forgetting index. Depending on the forgetting index, the length of the first interval may range from 1 to 20 days, and is not set arbitrarily. It is computed from the record of repetitions and determined by the desired forgetting index (requested forgetting index is the proportion of items that are not remembered at repetitions).
