+== Memory refresh ==
+
+Bolt offers a ''memory refresh'' system that periodically repeats exercises
+and, if necessary, lessons.
+Memory research suggests that this is necessary for students to shift
+learning to long-term memory.
+This mechanism works as follows:
+
+ * A sequence of ''inter-refresh intervals'' is defined.  For example, (7, 28) means that an exercise should be repeated 7 days after it is first taken, and then every 28 days thereafter.
+ * Bolt provides a function that returns the set of items, for a given student, for which refresh is due.  Your course can use this function to implement a "Review now" button on web pages.
+ * Bolt provides a "review mode" in which the student is presented with exercises due for review.
