It truly works even for our studies. Studies show that it is only the third revision that converts short-term memory to long-term memory molecules in the hippocampus area of the brain. But the gap between revisions should be equidistant i.e., either every day for three days, every week, three weeks or even once a month for the three months but the distance between revisions should be the same. Three is the magical number. If you don't do this, difficult words will disappear from your brain.
