Hello, I've been using Mnemosyne for a month (and I love it !), each day, to learn Spanish vocabulary (I currently have 600 cards. I append a pack of 100 cards from time to time).
There's a behaviour of Mnemosyne that I don't understand : (1) Mnemosyne shows me a card. I don't know this card (or I don't remember the answer at all, if Mnemosyne already showed it to me before) so I use the "0" grade. (2) Then the next card is the same one. I then use a "1" grade, because I "know" the answer (Mnemosyne showed it to me a few seconds before ...) so I don't think I should use a "0" grade, and I don't want to use a "2" grade because I'm certain I won't remember the answer even only 10 minutes later ! (3) Then Mnemosyne shows me the same card immediately afterwards. I still don't want to use a "2", so I use a "1". So the sequence of grades for this card was : 0, 1, 1. I don't understand this sequence of three cards in a row. Do you ? It happens quite often (say, once a day, sometimes more). Wouldn't it be more logical if Mnemosyne made less probable (I'd like to write "impossible" instead of "less probable" !) for the same card to appear twice in a row, and made even less probable to make it appear three times in a row ? Or I am the one who must change his behaviour ? (how ? Grade "0" then "0" ?...) What would be your behaviour in this situation ?
