There is also a subset of knowledge that is characterized by high stability and high retrievability. Such pairing is for example a norm in spaced repetition after a review. This knowledge is stable, but can also power the learn drive and creativity. It has been reactivated and brought back to a high retrievability level. Some of the pleasure of judicious spaced repetition comes from knowing (see: Pleasure of knowing). However, even more pleasure comes from the associative power of refreshed knowledge which can creatively contribute new ideas in the learning process. This is particularly noticeable in incremental reading, where new knowledge (reading) is combined with old knowledge (review) to produce new qualities (creativity). The boost to creativity and creative learning is one of the key advantages of incremental reading.
The creative power of incremental reading rests in part in the randomized interleaving of new knowledge with old knowledgestatus | not read | reprioritisations | ||
