A conceptual timeline shows initial study followed by recall and checking, a later session beginning with retrieval before rereading, and another return to retrieve or use the concept and check errors. An error log guides subsequent practice. Spacing is schematic and does not represent an optimal interval or measured gain.
For the knowledge component of a skill, use recall and feedback across separate sessions. This conceptual schedule adapts research on academic concept learning; it does not establish the best interval or a measured effect on workplace performance.
