How is the lightner box working ?

Answer 1

I think the Lightner box is used for memorization and recall skills, if I remember correctly it consists of 7 compartments. These compartment are based on recall ability set aside for that special slot, which differ in size, going from small to large fitting the ringings of 1 day, 2 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2weeks,1 month, 2month.
You start by placing flashcards in the 1 day slot after memorizing them, the next day what ever is successfully memorized moves to the 2 day slot, after 2 days you review that slot and what ever has been retrained moves to the 3 day box and so on... all this while filling the slots before it with new cards. This method although very time consuming almost guarantees that what ever is removed from the 2month slot is retained forever.
