THE EFFECT OF SPACED REPETITION ON MEDICAL VOCABULARY ACQUISITION

This article examines the effect of spaced repetition on medical vocabulary acquisition among language learners. Medical terminology is often difficult to learn because it includes complex words, Latin and Greek roots, and specific meanings used in professional contexts. Many students forget new medical terms quickly when they study them only once or memorize them in a traditional way. Spaced repetition can help solve this problem because it presents vocabulary at planned time intervals. This method supports long-term memory and helps learners review words before they forget them. The study focuses on how repeated exposure to medical terms improves recognition, understanding, pronunciation, and correct use of vocabulary. It also discusses the role of digital tools, flashcards, and regular revision in learning medical English.
