When it comes to reviewing cards you already memorised (previous grade 2 or higher) Mnemosyne 2 has always avoided showing sister cards for review on the same day, even from the very first beta. The reason for this is 'memory crosstalk': if you've just reviewed a production card, it will be artificially easier to recall a recognition card as opposed to the situation where those are not sheduled on the same day. What has happened in RC2 is that this behaviour now carries over somewhat to the learing of new cards as well (previous grade 0 or 1). I say 'somewhat', because if you are running out of new cards to memorise, you will be shown sisters cards on the same day. The option '(Re)learn sister cards on the same day' caused lots of confusion however (see mailing list), because in some situations it would not behave as how people interpreted this text. So, to avoid confusion, this option was removed. Do you really think it's a big deal for you to wait for the next day before memorising the sister card? The RC2 behaviour (or the pre RC1 default setting) should lead to stronger memories... If you still want to start memorising sister cards right away, just restart the program :-) > In an earlier version you have removed another feature, which is to repeat > the same card twice. Are you referring to showing the same card immediately again during the memorising process? This was widely considered to be a bug, and I got lots of reports about this. However, there is a simple way to increase the frequency of seeing a certain new card. Just decrease 'Hold xx non-memorised cards in your hand'. If you decrease it all the way to 1, you will even be shown each card repeatedly before going on the learn the next card. Thanks again for your comments, I always appreciate hearing about these things. If other people have comments about all of this, I'd be happy to hear them too.
