How should mnemonic medium review sets be spaced in the text?

Is it better to have more prompts in fewer sets? Or fewer prompts in more regular review sets?

Quantum Country’s in-text accuracy rate is 87%. I hypothesize that if we divided the prompts into fewer review sets spaced further apart, we’d see lower in-text accuracy rates, and roughly equivalent completion rates.

See also Mnemonic medium prompts are interleaved into the reading experience. I’m not immediately sure how to measure those factors.

In Rothkopf, E. Z. (1966). Learning from Written Instructive Materials: An Exploration of the Control of Inspection Behavior by Test-Like Events. American Educational Research Journal, 3(4), 241–249, questions are spaced roughly every 1,000 words. Quantum Country’s questions are spaced at more like ~1,500 word intervals (very roughly; we’re not that consistent).
