The Mnemosyne Project has two aspects:
|
|
|
|
* It's a sophisticated free flash-card tool which optimizes
|
|
your learning process.
|
|
* It's a research project into the nature of long-term memory.
|
|
|
|
The Mnemosyne software resembles a traditional flash-card program
|
|
to help you memorise question/answer pairs, but with an important
|
|
twist: it uses a sophisticated algorithm to schedule the best time
|
|
for a card to come up for review. Difficult cards that you tend to
|
|
forget quickly will be scheduled more often, while Mnemosyne won't
|
|
waste your time on things you remember well.
|
|
|
|
While you use the software, detailed statistics can be kept on your
|
|
learning process. If you want, these logs can be uploaded in a
|
|
transparent and anonymous way to a central server for analysis.
|
|
|
|
This data will be valuable to study the behaviour of our memory
|
|
over a very long time period. As an additional benefit, the results
|
|
will be used to improve the scheduling algorithms behind the software
|
|
even further.
