     111Bolt offers a ''memory refresh'' system that periodically repeats exercises
     112and, if necessary, lessons.
     113Memory research suggests that this is necessary for students to shift
     114learning to long-term memory.
     115This mechanism works as follows:
     116
     117 * 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.
     118 * 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.
     119 * Bolt provides a "review mode" in which the student is presented with exercises due for review.
