Yes! I’ve had the same experience with spaced-repetition. I’ve used Memrise.com to learn a large set of Korean vocab words.

I’ve found it’s improved my general recall ability, not just for things I’ve scheduled into a spaced-repetition program.

It’s like the program trains my brain on how to recall things, and then I can use that skill on anything.

I’ve also found that if I slack off my training schedule, my general recall ability gets worse too.

Also, alcohol for sure impacts my memory. I find even one drink will make it harder to recall things
