I do not recommend you directly copying my setting. ![]() Please see this reddit post for the rationales behind such setting. Most of my decks are more or less the same with the following Anki setting: If memory serves, I mostly followed the recommendation from this and this. As I explained, it doesn’t make sense to banish the card and re-learn it completely again. Regardless how you tweak other parameters, one thing I’m certain of is that the New Interval for lapses COULDN’T AND SHOULDN’T BE ZERO. I also recommend you give this part of the Anki manual a look before any changes. If you’re using Anki, I highly recommend tweaking the default setting. I think once people know how the default setting behaves, they would tweak it immediately. I wonder how many users are still using that brutal default setting… I am sure a lot of people never bothered to tweak the settings, not to mention reading the manual to understand what each parameter means and how it affects the algorithm. It’s like repetitively building a sand castle only to be washed away moments later. Imagine the pain of reviewing a card correctly for years and then slipped for once… all the previous effort to expand the retrieval schedules. You will mostly likely continue to struggle with the review count. Having to review it over and over again leads to a lot of frustration. Just a one-time corrective feedback for that card should probably make it retrievable again for a long time (years maybe). ![]() The default setting is highly inefficient as having to start over is completely unnecessary. But do you think you need the same amount of time memorizing the old number when you need it, like you have never seen it? Of course not! Maybe just a few initial numbers are enough to jog your memory and you’ll spill out the rest. If you’ve used the new number long enough, you’re bound to “forget” the old number (retrieval-induced forgetting). Losing retrieval strength ≠ losing storage strength.įor example, you’ve changed your phone number after using the old one for years. My point is, just because you temporarily couldn’t retrieve the information doesn’t mean you have to re-learn it, treating it like you’ve not learned it at all because that piece of memory is still in your long-term memory. Once information is interrelated with prior knowledge in long-term memory, it tends to remain stored, if not necessarily accessible. when you were most alert maybe you could have answered it if you’d just racked your brains a little harder.įrom “ Self-Regulated Learning: Beliefs, Techniques, and Illusions": ![]() So you may be tired after doing Anki for 4 hours and that body state will negatively affect your ability to retrieve the answer maybe you could have answered that card at 10 a.m. Contextual cues, including environmental, mood state, body state cues etc, will influence the accessibility of a memory representation. ![]() There are a lot of factors affecting your retrieval strength, i.e., recalling the correct answer. I discovered this brutal New Interval setting only after 4 years of using Anki. If you then fail it ONCE (pressed ‘Again’), Anki would banish the card back to square one. In the default Anki setting, if you get a card wrong, the New Interval for lapses would render it new again, like you’ve never seen or learned that card.įor example, you have answered a card correctly (pressed ‘Easy’) for 10 times over 3 years. If the card had a 100 day interval, the default of 0% would reduce the interval to 0 New interval controls how much Anki should reduce the previous interval by.
