Yes, the interval always increases with passing grades, but by different factors. Lower grades can decrease the "easiness" factor though, if it's greater than 1.3 - this is another factor in deriving future intervals. >From the (old?) website: "If you select grade 4, the easiness factor is unchanged and the card is scheduled for future repetition based on the previous record of repetitions. If you select grade 5, the easiness factor is increased and the card is scheduled for future repetition based on the previous record of repetitions. If you select grade 2 or 3, the easiness factor is decreased and the card is scheduled for future repetition based on the previous record of repetitions. If you select grade 0 or 1, the easiness factor is unchanged and the card is put back in the stack of unmemorised cards." BTW regarding the OP's questions on the subject of generally playing nice with the algorithm, I'd suggest not to sweat it too much. It's probably a better use of your time to assume that you'll remember a card tomorrow and risk occasional failures, than to repeatedly grade them 1 and cram them. A good place to find out lots of well-referenced information about spaced repetition is Gwern's page on the subject: http://www.gwern.net/Spaced%20repetition Oisín > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "mnemosyne-proj-users" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > . > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mnemosyne-proj-users/-/iCqrCAk2y3YJ. > > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
