similarly, conversation (talking to people about a thing) encourages recalling the info you're talking about

"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe." (Pragmatic Programmer page 130, quoting John Muir, My First Summer in the Sierra)

On page 146 (of Practical Thinking and Learning) the "Test-Driven Learning" box (a play on Test-Driven Development) talks about spaced repetition. It mentions SuperMemo and Mnemosyne, and references The Critical Importance of Retrieval for Learning, which is a pretty great ref.

Some good refs in https://distill.pub/2020/communicating-with-interactive-articles/

"Recitation as a Factor in Memorizing" by Arthur Irving Gates, 1922 (free)
The Power of Testing Memory: Basic Research and Implications for Educational Practice "A powerful way of improving one's memory for material is to be tested on that material. Tests enhance later retention more than additional study of the material, even when tests are given without feedback. This surprising phenomenon is called the testing effect, and although it has been studied by cognitive psychologists sporadically over the years, today there is a renewed effort to learn why testing is effective and to apply testing in educational settings. In this article, we selectively review laboratory studies that reveal the power of testing in improving retention and then turn to studies that demonstrate the basic effects in educational settings. We also consider the related concepts of dynamic testing and formative assessment as other means of using tests to improve learning. Finally, we consider some negative consequences of testing that may occur in certain circumstances, though these negative effects are often small and do not cancel out the large positive effects of testing. Frequent testing in the classroom may boost educational achievement at all levels of education."

they cite Critical Importance of Retrieval, of course

Not quite spaced repetition, but Julia Evans has these neat question sets: https://questions.wizardzines.com/ which are largely about finding out what you don't know; attacking the illusion of explanatory depth.

Seven Years of Spaced Repetition Software in the Classroom has a lot of great stuff

"SRS is best when used by a self-motivated individual"

"Covering more material than can be retained isn’t bad teaching, though. In fact, it’s a good and necessary practice. Content — the more the merrier — is the training data the brain uses to form and refine mental models of the universe. These models tend to be long-lived, and allow the brain to re-learn the content more deeply and efficiently if it ever comes up again. They also allow it to absorb new-but-conceptually-adjacent contents more readily."

"the most important thing I teach my students by using SRS is the existence of SRS"
