First of all you tag those cards as "Periodic Table::Groups" Tags are always visible above the card you are reviewing. They tell you which information you are looking for. Second you can remember Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr because they are all Group 1 elements. They are ordered rather obviously by period numbers. And their names would also be included. There is no guessing involved.
Remembering context from a datum is very useful. For example if prompted with: A Theory of Justice (tag: Political Theory::Authors) One can learn to recall that John Rawls wrote that book along with some of his other notable works. Another example, prompt with: teuflisch (tag: German::Synonyms) And another, prompt with: thyroid gland (tag: Biology::Organ Systems) The reason to learn it in this direction rather than the other way around is that this closer represents how the information will be used in the real world. I would speculate that way is more effective for learning as well but without actual research to back it up arguing about that would be silly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
