Hi Tom
I think your comment touches on the very essence of Spaced Repetition
Learning (SRL): ***Long*** term learning.
I have been using SLR for more than 10 years, and I have often experienced
situations when I barely remember the correct answer (But, Eureka, I do!!).
That's exactly when the mysterious mechanisms of the brain somehow
activate and will "store" this knowledge for a really ***long*** time.
Grade 2: You DID remember the card, your brain WORKED HARD to recall it,
and therefore it will take long(er) until you (nearly) forget it.
In fact the "golden nuggets" of your cards are exactly those that you will
score "1,5(!)", because they really challenge yoour ability to memorise.
"5" cards give you a good feeling ("I really know quite a lot") but they
are wasting your precious learning-time. "0" cards may be so badly
formulated (or indeed, way too hard) and may be a waste of time.
With Mnemosyne 2 I can easily assign new tags to my
"too-hard-let-me-wait-until-my-basic-understanding-is-in-place-" cards
and "too-easy-let-me-wait-until-they-may-be-forgotten" cards and thus
concentrate on the golden nuggets :-) . Strenuous, but that is learning in
a nutshell...
Good luck! / Henrik
