HCD.10:4.4 - Space Repeated Episodes without Smuggling in Other Changes
Name the earlier episode, later episode, separated times, interval, and intervening activity. The interval should follow the intended use horizon, practical opportunity, prior access, risk, and available evidence rather than a universal spacing number. Record any practice, work use, feedback, or source encounter between the episodes.
Then specify separately for each episode:
- whether the learner retrieves a contribution or receives it;
- which sources, patterns, data, tables, calculators, tools, and AI are available;
- which human, peer, teacher, specialist, cue, or worked-example support is permitted and received;
- whether the task, configuration, time, consequence, or Method choice also changes; and
- what the later attempt can and cannot establish.
Two episodes at separated times constitute spacing even when the same appropriate references and tools remain available. Removing AI or closing a source is a support or source change, not proof that spacing occurred. A later observation after continuing use is not retention without intervening practice merely because a date has passed.
