A seductive detail is a component added to instructional material that is interesting to the audience, but not directly relevant to the instructional purpose.
Keith Stanovich used this idea to describe how early acquiring of reading skills leads to later successes in reading as the learner grows, while failing to learn to read before the third or fourth year of schooling may be indicative of lifelong problems in learning new skills.
This may be occurring because children who fall behind in reading would read less, increasing the overall gap between them and their peers.
Later, when students need to read in order to learn new information, their reading difficulty will create difficulty in most other subjects.
In this way they fall further and further behind in school, and ultimately dropping out at a much higher rate than their peers.

Am updating this post with a newly added YouTube video which explains the concept very clearly .
Spaced Repetition is a scientific proven method of learning that involves time intervals between subsequent review of learned items to exploit the psychological effect of spacing effect.
A meta-analysis by researchers Donovan and Radosevich in 1999 suggested that those who learn information by spaced repetition will outperform 67% of those who learn by mass presentation given the same number of practice episodes.
