 The Spacing Effect | in Chapter 06: Memory | from Psychology: An Introduction by Russ Dewey
In one practical demonstration of the spacing effect, Bahrick, Bahrick, Bahrick, and Bahrick (1993) showed that retention of foreign language vocabulary was greatly enhanced if practice sessions were spaced far apart.
For example, "Thirteen retraining sessions spaced at 56 days yielded retention comparable to 26 sessions spaced at 14 days." In other words, subjects could use half as many study sessions, if the study sessions were spread over a time period four times as long.
As an empirical rule, the generalization seems to be that a repetition will help most if the material had been in storage long enough to be just on the verge of being forgotten.

 Spaced repetition: research background
There has been a great deal of research on how different spacing of repetitions in time affects the strength of memory and how the resulting findings could be applied in the practice of effective learning.
However, after the spacing reaches some critical point, the memory trace becomes completely inaccessible, and the processing of the to-be-remembered item is similar to the one that takes place at initial presentation (Underwood, 1961; Melton, 1970; Rose, 1984).
Another shortcoming that makes it hard to collect data concerning optimum spacing of repetitions is the fact that most of the available studies considered inter-repetition intervals on the order of seconds, minutes and hours.
