Are you sure this class of people don’t implicitly do spaces repetition via:
- “reading books” (coming across the same ideas in different books, tying new ideas to old books)
- “discuss and debate” (remembering and being reminded of previously learned things)
- “study their subjects” (?) (presumably restating the previous two? - Maybe original research, which is finding new facts or reinforcing old ones)
- “work hard” (??)
I also wonder if there’s something about the mental process of people who seem to “just get it” - is their mind subconsciously turning over stuff they’ve learned in the same way an external spaced repetition regimen would? They may be getting the benefit of spaced repetition, but from the outside it doesn’t look like they follow a study plan.
