On this page, I want to keep a list of experiments that I have tried or am currently trying with Anki. These experiments aren't formal (I don't do any rigorous data collection or blinding or randomizing or anything like that); instead, they're just ideas I have or read about and decided was worth trying for a while to see whether it worked.

Name Description Result
Writing down answers on a piece of paper
circling things on paper to flag things that need to be fixed [1]
Linked list to remember lists (e.g. linked list proof card) e.g. to memorize A, B, C, you have the cards (blank)->A, A->B, then B->C, and maybe also a card that asks the length of the list.
Central node trick for remembering equivalent properties
Cumulative prompts to remember lists e.g. to memorize A, B, C, you have the cards (blank)->A, A->B, (A,B)->C.
Full proof cards The front side is a theorem statement or exercise description, and the back side is the full proof or exercise solution.
Poor man's incremental reading
Adding not-fully-digested quotes or online comments
Cloze deletion for quotes/definitions
burying cards to speed up review [2]
repositioning non-cloze cards periodically so they get processed sooner [3] I eventually moved away from cloze cards in general.
Orphan cards as alarm clocks [4]
mixing in reviews during the day rather than doing all reviews at night still haven't really tried this; I do my reviews before going to sleep
entering in cards for some definitions/theorems in a single card, and for some as multiple cards, and seeing which are more fun to review/result in remembering things better
