cards through out the slideshow on the mac version like you have on
the old ipad app. I know right now it repeat shortly after, but
when it repeats a lot (4x) it helps me remember a lot more than
seeing it once shortly after and at the end. I find myself
returning to that app so I can have cards repeat several times. I
know you've decided to implement these successful learning
algorithms, but just having "repeat throughout" as an option would
be wonderful.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>Davidtag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/294794942013-10-20T07:49:38Z2013-10-20T07:49:38ZLeitner System<div><p>Hi David,</p>
<p>At the moment, Mental Case 2 will repeat a note up to 2 times in
the current slideshow, but it also allows you to start a new
slideshow with just the wrong notes, so you can probably achieve
what you want without any new features. Just start a new slideshow
at the end, and include only the wrong notes.</p>
<p>The details of the learning schedules are complex, and we
deliberately don't go into great detail. We want the tool to be
accessible to all students, not just people into geeky flashcard
systems.</p>
<p>Cram is based on Leitner. There are 5 boxes. Cards start in the
first box. If you get them right, they move to the next. Get one
wrong, it goes back to the first box. The system shows you the
notes that are in the lowest occupied box.</p>
<p>Cram is the only system that is not time based in Mental Case.
You can just refresh your due notes to get some more due notes.
That is how it is intended to be used.</p>
<p>The other systems all have a time element. The standard one is
Long Term learning. It is based on Supermemo's algorithm (<a href=
"http://www.supermemo.com/english/ol/sm2.htm">http://www.supermemo.com/english/ol/sm2.htm</a>).</p>
<p>We have standard time intervals, but these intervals are
adjusted based on how well you answer a note. Answer wrong a few
times, and the intervals for that note shorten to help you out.</p>
<p>The date targeted schedule is unique to MC. It is basically the
supermemo algorithm, but it dynamically adapts to try to ensure a
certain likelihood of recall on the day you target (eg exam).</p>
<p>Think they are the main ones.<br>
Hope it helps.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
