Glossary of vocabulary learning terms
Short, practical explanations of concepts that appear in RevoMemo: spaced repetition, active recall, forgetting curve, FSRS, flashcards, and learning vocabulary in context.
This dictionary is written for language learners, not theorists. Each concept combines memory, linguistics, repetition, and daily practice with vocabulary.
You don’t need to know the theory to use RevoMemo. But if you want to understand why sentence flashcards, active recall, and spaced repetition work together, start with these six concepts below.
Active recall
Active recall means actively retrieving information from memory instead of passively reading the answer.

The forgetting curve describes how quickly we lose access to information if we don't revisit it at appropriate intervals.
Read: What is the forgetting curve?FSRS
FSRS is an open review scheduling algorithm that helps decide when a given card should return.
Read: What is FSRS?Flashcards
Flashcards are short learning cards that usually contain a question, hint, or sentence and an answer to check.
Read: What are flashcards?Learning in context
Learning vocabulary in context means learning words through sentences, situations, collocations, and examples of use, not detached lists.
