I understand, but hopefully this "ideal interval" can stretched, by some factor, longer and longer until the memory becomes "permanent". It wouldn't be too hard to remember the card for the same interval again, so the sensation of difficulty, and your progress, should be thought of as caused by this stretching. Why do you want it to be hard? Because this accelerates the process of separating the hard cards from the easy ones. They get separated when you fail the hard ones. Stretching enough to cause you to fail some, but not too many, is the ideal, because the easy ones are getting pushed out of the way. Failing cards is part of the process that concentrates the hard cards at short intervals: you focus on the hard cards by failing them, while the easy cards fly off into the future. The algorithm can't be perfect for each individual card, but I am confident that it offers a very effective general policy for a large stack of cards, to prioritize your work for you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
