Fields, a leading US neuroscientist, ... found that the stimulation of cells in the brain repeated three times had to be interspersed with 10-minute breaks before the synapse became strengthened permanently - the chemical and biological process in the brain which turns short-term recollections into long-term memories.

Learning or memorising?
Repeat 3 times, with  interspersed with 10-minute breaks.
