I just started using Mnemosyne recently; I've had it installed for a while, but I haven't gotten around to using it because I wanted more portability. Trying to get more portability by using index cards and the SM-2 algorithm isn't exactly pleasant. Anyhow, in my attempt, I had to learn the SM-2 algorithm. I've read, and I think I understand fairly well, the SM-2 and SM-5 algorithms as presented on SuperMemo's website.
When I finally began using Mnemosyne, I expected it to do the last step of the SM-2 algorithm: Repeat all the cards that scored less than a four without changing the grade (for interval calculation purposes) initially given that day until all cards have a score of four. It didn't. I was confused. I scored most of my cards a three — some had fours and only one got a five, but Mnemosyne didn't repeat the cards I gave a three. Is this skipping of the last step an intentional modification of the SM-2 algorithm and could it have a detrimental effect on how well I recall items in future repetitions? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
