Memory-research

[Henrik in Oslo]

At http://mnemosyne-proj.org/ is stated about Mnemosyne: It's a research project into the nature of long-term memory.

What is the nature of this research? What competencies are involved? Any results so far?

Perhaps some net-based information is available?

Cheers,

Occasionally someone is posting some results on this on this mailing list,
e.g. Gwern's analysis of the influence of time of review on performance.
There is also a professor in the states who is currently analysing the data.
As for main competences involved, I would say statistics :-)

Hi Peter, 

Thank you

So,  would it be more precise to say that 

• It's a free flash-card tool which optimizes your learning process.
• It provides data for research projects that study the nature of long-term memory.

If anyone was curious how that's going, I haven't done much work since
my last posting since I've been waiting for the full dataset to be
imported into a SQL database. It's up to 81% or so (I somehow lost 5%
a few weeks ago to an I/O error, I think). It's hard to run because
all the I/O it does occasionally locks up my laptop and renders it
unusable for a minute, which really interferes with my normal work.

I still plan to get actively involved in the research at some point, it's just that a day has only 24 hours...
