Reinforcement Intervals

To take advantage of the spacing and testing effects, researchers structured spaced education as a series of detailed questions and explanations delivered via mobile device or computer over spaced intervals of time. Learners receive a notification containing a clinical scenario and a multiple-choice question. Upon submitting their answers, participants are immediately presented with the correct answer and learning points relevant to the question. The questions are then re-presented over spaced intervals of time in a series of cycled reviews (interval reinforcements) . An adaptive engine customizes these reinforcement intervals based on each learner's performance.
