The Four Pillars of Learning

Built on 140+ years of cognitive research. Our AI implements proven theories from Ebbinghaus (1885) to modern neuroscience, combining the four foundational pillars of effective learning.

1
Retrieval Pillar

Testing Effect

Roediger & Karpicke (2006)

Our AI coaching uses the testing effect through active recall. Research shows that retrieval practice can improve long-term retention by around 50% compared to re-reading material.

Active Retrieval

Quiz format forces effortful recall, strengthening memory consolidation

Reflection Questions

Post-answer analysis deepens understanding through elaborative processing

Memory Strengthening

Each retrieval attempt creates more durable, accessible memory traces

2
Retention Pillar

Spacing Effect

Ebbinghaus (1885)

Your study plan uses spacing intervals based on the forgetting curve. Reviewing material at the right time helps you keep knowledge for longer.

Forgetting Curve

Memory decay follows predictable patterns—spacing combats this decline

Optimal Intervals

Topics spaced at increasing intervals maximize long-term retention

Distributed Practice

Spaced learning creates more permanent memory consolidation

3
Correction Pillar

Corrective Feedback

Bangert-Drowns et al. (1991)

AI provides immediate, detailed feedback after each response. Meta-analyses show that corrective feedback significantly improves learning outcomes.

Error Correction

Immediate feedback prevents misconceptions from becoming entrenched

Elaborative Explanation

Detailed AI coaching provides rich context for understanding

Targeted Learning

Personalized feedback addresses individual knowledge gaps

4
Engagement Pillar

Flow State

Csikszentmihalyi (1990)

Adaptive difficulty keeps your practice in the sweet spot between challenge and comfort. Flow research shows that well-calibrated tasks improve focus and accelerate learning.

Challenge Calibration

AI adjusts difficulty based on experience level and performance

Deep Focus

Structured sessions eliminate distractions for concentrated practice

Intrinsic Motivation

Progress tracking and achievements sustain engagement over time

Research-Backed Results

Our methods are grounded in decades of cognitive science research. Here's what studies show about effective learning.

94%
Knowledge Retention

Active recall practice vs. passive reading methods (Roediger & Butler, 2011)

2.5x
Faster Skill Mastery

Spaced repetition accelerates learning compared to massed practice (Cepeda et al., 2006)

40%
Improved Performance

Immediate feedback reduces time to competency (Hattie & Timperley, 2007)

89%
Sustained Motivation

Gamification increases engagement and completion rates (Deterding et al., 2011)

"The active recall practice made concepts stick in ways I never experienced before. The spaced repetition kept bringing back key topics right when I needed them most— I felt like my brain was optimized for learning."

— Sarah Chen, Software EngineerLanded role at Series B startup after 2 weeks of prep

Science-Based Learning Questions

What makes this approach more effective than traditional prep?

Our methods are based on cognitive science research. Active recall strengthens memory, spaced repetition improves how long you remember concepts, and timely feedback helps you correct mistakes quickly—together they help you learn more efficiently.

How does active recall work in practice?

Instead of only reading answers, you actively generate responses. This retrieval practice forces your brain to reconstruct what you know, creating stronger connections and improving recall over time.

What is spaced repetition and why does it matter?

We use Hermann Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve research to time review sessions just before you'd forget material. This optimal spacing helps move knowledge from short-term to long-term memory.

How does the AI provide effective feedback?

Immediate correction stops incorrect patterns from becoming habits. Our AI provides targeted feedback that can reduce time to competency by 25–40%, based on Hattie & Timperley's work on effective feedback.

Why include gamification elements?

Game mechanics tap into intrinsic motivation. Progress indicators and achievements make practice feel more rewarding and can increase completion rates.

Can I customize the learning approach?

Absolutely. Set your available time and learning preferences. The system adapts spacing and difficulty to match your schedule and how much you want to take on at once.

What research supports these methods?

Our approach combines findings from Roediger & Butler (testing effect), Cepeda et al. (spacing effect), and Deterding et al. (gamification psychology)—decades of peer-reviewed cognitive science.

How do I track my learning progress?

Monitor retention rates, skill mastery, and knowledge consolidation. The dashboard shows your learning progress across different topics and question types.
