Hi Tom Cato Below is my short answer, however you inspired me to reflect on my learning approach... See separate posting!
*I aim at a retention rate no lower than 95%.* If too many items are forgotten, I know that it is likely they will require a lot of time also in the future. I ask myself: · Are they badly formulated? If yes, rephrase/ redo · Do I have insufficient "surrounding" and "supporting" knowledge? If yes: provide this knowledge · Some “hard-to-learn” items I simply give a "Priority-2"-tag and put on hold until I am better prepared for this piece of knowledge · Other items I re-formulate (would be nice if Mnemosyne allowed "copy-item" and/ or "Reset learning") · I may supplement the trouble-item with a different approach (e.g. use picture/ sound). · Some of these "hard to learn" items I write down (yes, good old handwriting) and look through every now and then. ( I have even made paper-based flashcards) . I find that changing the learning-context can do wonders... An idea I got just now: Snapshot of the handwritten item, insert into.. etc ☺ / Henrik in Oslo On Friday, 19 April 2013 13:55:45 UTC+2, Tom Cato Amundsen wrote: > > Hello mnemosyne-users > > How high retention rate (as reported by mnemosyne statistics) do you get > on average when reviewing cards?
