I experiment with ways to expand the use of spaced repetition for personal learning and task management.

• Turn that into spaced repetition cards

• spaced repetition for memorization, learning, reading

I feel it put a name on the idea that I had been thinking about after first revisiting anki and spaced repetition in 2021/02. With spaced repetition, memory is a choice. That same idea translates to consumption in the form of incremental reading. From there, I imagine that this cognitive optimization way of interacting with information may have even larger implications (the size of those implications has expanded thanks to andy matuschak coining this term).

spaced repetition

I began using Anki in February of this year, 2021. I had saved a link to Anki years earlier, I completely forgot why I had saved that link. In an attempt to get through my backlog of links, I finally looked into Anki and learned about spaced repetition.

• Only homework is to keep up spaced repetition

A generalized version of spaced repetition

From andy matuschak notes on spaced repetition creating a sense of wu wei

Create a course that teaches bayes’ theorem and solomonoff induction. Integrate the course with spaced repetition learning.

With spaced repetition, remembering a piece of information has a clear time-cost. This means, as long as we are willing to pay the cost, we can decide to not forget a piece of information.

This is where ideas like spaced repetition and incremental reading could have an impact.

This was a bit revolutionary for me as a concept, and it was one of the main pushes that started me down this spaced repetition, incremental reading, etc rabbit hole in 2021/02

If I were to build my own spaced repetition system…

A very long history of spaced repetition according to piotr wozniak
