Space: Desk / seated Automated structural checklist: 10 of 10 structural checks present Evidence quality/context: G1; Deep research depth Automated method-quality band: Established Method-rating basis: Structure coverage, instruction/check specificity, alternative distinctness, source troubleshooting, comparison depth and whether purpose/check fields are authored rather than derived. Editorial review: Pending manual editorial sign off ## Before you begin - [ ] I read the tutorial authority and stop conditions. - [ ] I have the required equipment/space or a declared accessible alternative. ## Canonical source context This pack is a small within-person comparison, not a promise to make learning permanent. Two matched sets each contain six invented word–symbol pairs. A coin flip assigns one set to retrieval-plus-feedback and the other to equal-time restudy before any results are known. Both sets receive the same initial study time and equal three-minute review windows at T+10 minutes and T+24 hours. At T+72 hours, test all twelve prompts in mixed order without warming up. The 72-hour interval is this exercise’s declared configuration, not a universally best spacing rule. Record cues, assistance, missed reviews and burden. The difference may be informative for these arbitrary items, but small sets can differ by chance. The result cannot establish lifelong memory, intelligence, transfer or a cognitive diagnosis. Stop if the schedule becomes distressing, compulsive or an indefinite streak; formal assessment or concerning memory change requires an appropriate professional. Target outcome: Define long-term retention without inheriting mythology or broader claims. Explain what the current evidence supports and what it does not establish. Use the declared measurement boundary and recognise misleading proxies. Complete only the separately governed capability practice inside its declared limits. Make a retention, transfer, maintenance, provider or stop decision without overclaiming. ### Authority and setup conditions - Use only the bounded configuration. Use neutral material and low-stakes self-comparison. The experiment is not an intelligence, memory-health or educational placement test. - Stop if the frame becomes a spaced schedule, repeated testing loop, streak or lifelong-memory promise. - Stop if tracking forgetting causes distress or compulsive checking. ### Required or supplied materials - Set X cards: NERAL–amber hexagon; POVIN–teal star; RAKU–silver circle; SELA–violet square; TOVIN–green triangle; WEX–blue crescent. - Set Y cards: BIRA–green crescent; CAVO–violet triangle; DENI–amber circle; FALU–blue square; GOMA–silver star; HESI–teal hexagon. - One coin and assignment card: ‘Heads: X retrieval, Y restudy. Tails: Y retrieval, X restudy. Record before studying and never swap after seeing performance.’ - Schedule card: T0 study each set for three minutes; T+10 minutes retrieval set attempts for two minutes plus feedback for one minute, restudy set for three minutes; repeat at T+24 hours; mixed no-warm-up test at T+72 hours. - Mixed test sheet in the fixture with answers covered, plus log fields for coin result, actual times, missed exposure, cues, assistance and burden. - Accessible text, audio, symbol descriptions and external response methods are allowed when declared; no speed scoring. ### Supplied fixture T+72-hour prompt order.

Choose an accessible response format and a realistic T0 Choose an accessible response format and a realistic T0. Write the exact T+10-minute, T+24-hour and T+72-hour times before seeing any cards. Why: “Choose an accessible response format and a realistic T0” fixes the exact Long-term retention configuration or decision before later observations are compared. Success check: A legible entry directly completes “Choose an accessible response format and a realistic T0” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Choose an accessible response format and a realistic T0. Write the exact T+10-minute, T+24-hour and T+72-hour times before seeing any cards.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “A legible entry directly completes “Choose an accessible response format and a realistic T0” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 2. Flip the coin once and record the assignment Flip the coin once and record the assignment. Do not relabel or exchange sets after baseline, even if one set feels easier. Why: “Flip the coin once and record the assignment” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion.

Test prior knowledge once by attempting all twelve pairs before study Test prior knowledge once by attempting all twelve pairs before study; because the terms are invented, record any accidental familiarity or exposure. Why: “Test prior knowledge once by attempting all twelve pairs before study” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion.

Study Set X for three minutes and Set Y for three minutes… Study Set X for three minutes and Set Y for three minutes in the same format. At T+10 minutes, apply the assigned retrieval or restudy procedure for equal three-minute windows. Why: “Study Set X for three minutes and Set Y for three minutes in the same format” carries the authored Long-term retention method into a reviewable output without adding an unstated task, dose or claim. Success check: Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Study Set X for three minutes and Set Y for three minutes in the same format. At T+10 minutes, apply the assigned retrieval or restudy procedure for equal three-minute windows.” Accessible alternative: Complete “Study Set X for three minutes and Set Y for three minutes in the same format. At T+10 minutes, apply the assigned retrieval or restudy procedure for equal three-minute windows.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Study Set X for three minutes and Set Y for three minutes in the same format. At T+10 minutes, apply the assigned retrieval or restudy procedure for equal three-minute windows.”” Use text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard navigation, shorter sessions, a support person or an equivalent non-practical record format as needed. Accessibility changes must not enlarge practical authority.

At T+24 hours, repeat the same assigned conditions once At T+24 hours, repeat the same assigned conditions once. Record any missed window or added exposure rather than hiding it. Why: “At T+24 hours, repeat the same assigned conditions once” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion. Success check: A legible entry directly completes “At T+24 hours, repeat the same assigned conditions once” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.

At T+72 hours, do not warm up At T+72 hours, do not warm up. Answer the twelve mixed prompts, score by assigned condition, calculate the difference, record burden and stop. Why: “At T+72 hours, do not warm up” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion. Success check: The work shows the value requested by “At T+72 hours, do not warm up”, retains the supplied units or signs and leaves any unsupported value unknown. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “At T+72 hours, do not warm up. Answer the twelve mixed prompts, score by assigned condition, calculate the difference, record burden and stop.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person.
