i had not seen this before, thank you very much for sharing!

thanks. and yeah the domain didn't change

Yeah it needs to help you do better "encoding". This is what determines how sticky information is straight after learning it. One way that Save All (a company i run that's like anki, https://saveall.ai/ ) hel

Please explain how you can understand something without remembering the information that the understanding is made up out of?

Our subconcious mind often works on our problems while we aren't thinking about them, i that's more what's going on here than forgetting. your brain figured it out for you while you were doing something else

Yeah some simplification is required to condense 300(0) years of research into a digestible article but is any of it misleadingly incorrect?

> eg. good teaching is not giving the final answers to learner, which should seem faster, but letting the learner arrive at their answers Why is that "good" teaching? ---> Its because if they arrive at the answer themselves

yeah mental arithmetic and running out of swap space is such a relevant / good example of the phenomenon, might add that into the article

yep that's the one! good old ebbinghaus

> every time you recall something your brain changes in ways that can affect recall later? Yeah that phenomenon is called "proactive & retroactive interference". > For me, it seems like there's a sweet spot to remem

Are you saying we should mention it for our own business benefit? Or that it's bad to not state it in article for some other reason?

If you don't understand it then you don't remember the information that compromises an "understanding" of the thing

Learning styles are basically a myth actually. It's been shown we all learn in roughly the same way. Check out some of the research mentioned here https://www.techlearning.com/news/busting-the-myth-of-learni... &g

yes! i think that's completely right, it takes so much energy & working memory to adapt to feedback that it's really easy to over-instruct people and give them too much feedback to handle.

Completely agree on Anki requiring too much effort, its the main reason why i'm making Save All ( https://saveall.ai/ ). Save all is a simpler version of anki that use AI to try and make it less effortful

lol oh dear, sounds ominous

hmmm very interesting, not sure why that could be happening! I can see loads of people are reading it now but i would have thought our server (arranged on vercel) could handle it
78.
by p-christ 4y ago
yes that's me, how comes?
79.
by p-christ 4y ago
that's really interesting, can you explain this bit a bit more? Or let me know what to google to learn more about this? "The process of simulating actions is the process that changes the structure of your mind"

in what way is the definition limited / what should it be?

Even with programming I would argue you'd be a much better programmer if you can remember more. Obviously sometimes you're going to have to look things up but the more you remember the more problems you'll be able to solve. S

how you mean? this link doesn't load for you? https://saveall.ai/blog/learning-is-remembering

I wrote this and would love to know what you think about it. Am particularly interested in hearing any reasons why it's wrong

yeah, we thought it was important to let people try it as quick as possible from the landing page

thanks for trying it out! Completely agree that generic content ==> nice flashcards is going to be big, we really think it's possible now with advances in NLP and we are going to do it. And yeah the green words aren't very good

thanks for trying it out! We use a similar spacing algorithm to Anki at the moment but eventually we will use a custom spacing algorithm per person & per card that uses machine learning to learn the optimum spacing algorithm per person

how much does this depend on the stage you're at? Pre-seed & seed funding should be pretty unaffected?
