01//DefinitionTerm

// ##rp-def =Retrieval Practice — the act of recalling information from memory rather than re-reading or re-experiencing it . Also known as "The Testing Effect" or "Active Recall" . The effort to retrieve strengthens the neural pathway more than the initial encoding

02//ContrastMechanism

// ##rp-vs ~ Passive Review (Re-reading) - Illusion of competence: "I recognize this, so I know it" - Relies on familiarity, not recall ~ Retrieval Practice (CLN Method) + Forces the brain to reconstruct the memory + Identifies gaps in knowledge immediately

03//In CLNImplementation

// ##rp-cln → The Sidebar acts as a "Quiz Deck" → You see a Compressed Tag (e.g. #entropy) → Attempt to Expand it mentally before clicking ! Clicking to verify provides feedback (Correct/Incorrect)

◇View Tag (Stimulus)

→Mental Recall (Effort)

▽Click to Verify (Feedback)

04//StrategyProtocol

// ##rp-prot + Desirable Difficulty: If recall is too easy, the benefit is minimal. Create specific, meaningful tags. + Spaced Repetition: Review traces at increasing intervals (1 day, 3 days, 1 week). // ##rp-open ? Should CLN hide the source text by default, forcing the user to click to reveal it?
