Sequential Knowledge

[Anonymous Anonymous]

Hi,

Thanks for making Mnemosyne it's awesome and it blows my mind.

I am learning knowledge with Mnemosyne that is always applied sequentially in practice.  How can I best incorporate this in-practice recall context into Mnemosyne to simplify my learning?  I am learning with Mnemosyne now, but it seems maybe harder than it needs to be, because everything is randomly learned, so in practice I'm not taking full advantage of my in-practice recall context.  I believe I could learn much faster if I incorporated certain specific elements of ordering into Mnemosyne.

Is there a way to control the scheduling of cards?

Each set of sequentially applied knowledge is of an arbitrary length.  I would like to rate my performance on recalling each element of the set, i.e. each detail/card in the sequence.

Would hierarchies work for me?

Thank you!

Hi,

 

Glad you like Mnemosyne!

 

There’s no way to control the schedule like this, but if you want to e.g. learn a poem by heart, you could have the question be the previous verse and the answer the next verse.

 

This being said, I’m not sure spaced repetition is the best tool for memorising this type of information…

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

In Piotr Wozniak's 20 Rules of Formulating Knowledge, Wozniak says "avoid enumerations". "If you cannot avoid them, deal with them using cloze deletions". The way you do this in Mnemosyne is going to the menubar, clicking "Manage Plugins", and enabling Cloze deletions. Then, switch to the "Cloze" note type when creating cards, occluding sentences (or stanzas) by putting square brackets [ ] around them. If you haven't already, you must read the 20 Rules of Formulating Knowledge. It's pretty much required reading for anyone who wants to used spaced repetition.
