The science behind effective learning

Discover how Memoanki uses the SuperMemo SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm to optimize your learning journey

Foundation of effective learning

Memoanki leverages the SuperMemo SM-2 algorithm, a breakthrough in learning science developed by Piotr Wozniak. This system calculates optimal review timing for each piece of information you learn.
