Explanation of Benefits
Additional Reading Practice
When I'm first learning a new kanji or vocabulary item, I find that I'm too focused on the understanding the explanation of the reading and the meaning, that I don't spend enough time **really looking at** the radicals, kanji, or vocabulary items themselves, and getting my brain to associate their shape and image with the meaning and reading.
By looping through the items multiple times, this gives me a lot more opportunities to initially practice visual recognition before they fade away in my memory.
Additional Listening and Speaking Practice
Hearing the audio pronunciation of a vocabulary item played out multiple times really helps me remember the reading better.
And this allows me to practice reading out the vocabulary item (or whispering it under my breath), which helps me to remember how to pronounce it too (i.e. it allows you to shadow (http://learnanylanguage.wikia.com/wiki/Shadowing) the item).
