Spaced repetition is distributed practice
- layman51 4y ago
  I read that “distributed practice” seems to be scheduling the learning activities to be spread out over time. I’m not sure if distributed practice has this, but “spaced repetition” seems to have some additional part to it where you don’t review the flash cards that you answer correctly as often as the ones you get wrong.

    It's distributed practice where the time between practice sessions is chosen to maximize learning / work.

> ChatGPT seems to be very good at generating cards btw So you can get very good at memorizing occassionally incorrect information? If I'm going to put in the effort to drill information into my brain with spaced-repetition, I have a high bar for the accuracy of that information. I hand write all my cards, and think it's commonly accepted that the manual process of producing the cards is an important first step in the memorization process.

  You can prompt ChatGPT to convert existing information into Q/A or cloze style, which saves time for some workloads. I wouldn't trust it to generate cards from scratch.

    I'm not sure if this really saves time in the end. At least for me the part of taking a lot of information and thinking about condensing it in a few sentences is the most important part of making flashcards or similar summaries. A lot of the time I end up never reading them, or reading them once because I already indirectly studied everything in the process of making them in the first place.

    There are many free flashcard making tools that are optimized for purpose.

Ooo, nice idea. Hadn't thought of that

Personally I prefer coming up with them myself as I am studying the material because that's already the _first pass_ of studying. Then as I review I adjust and improve the cards.

I feel like that kind of defeats the point if you get chatgpt to make the cards for you.
