A study model with spacing and test effect

How to study more efficiently and maintain the lasting memory of knowledge has long been a contentious hot focus, particularly in the education of Internet era such as the massive open online Courses. Recently, many researchers have pointed out that studying and remembering have good spacing effect, and proposed various models including the effect. However, it does not consider the importance of testing in learning. In this paper, we proposed a new study model which combining with spacing effect and testing to construct a studying and scheduling sequence for different level students. The model consists of studying units, reviewing units and testing units, and can be parameterized to better adapt to the studying ability and the learning progress for diverse students. Example and experiments are given to illustrate and verified the ideas.
