Studying leans on three mechanics.
Five minutes before you study.
| Mechanic | At the books | What trains it |
|---|---|---|
| Recall | The exam | Span and recall games |
| Study focus | The study session | Interference and vigilance games |
| Reading speed | The reading list | Pacing games |
Recalling beats re-reading.
Retrieval practice
Recalling material from memory cements it more durably than reading it again.
Roediger & Karpicke, Psychological Science, 2006Spacing beats cramming
Study time spread across several days retains better than one long session.
Cepeda et al., Psychological Bulletin, 2006Skilled readers’ eyes move differently
Practiced readers make shorter fixations and fewer backward jumps across a line.
Rayner, Psychological Bulletin, 1998
Fair questions.
Will this improve my grades?
We won’t promise grades. mindima trains the mechanics studying leans on: recall, sustained focus, and reading pace. Your progress is charted in the app.
When should I use it around studying?
As a short warm-up: five minutes to settle your focus and get recall going before you work through the material.
Does it actually help me read faster?
The reading-speed games practice fewer backtracks and end with a comprehension check, so pace and understanding train together. Your numbers are in the app.
