In the SuperMemo.com app we decided to coin and use a new MemoCard term. What we mean by MemoCard is a chunk of information, usually in the form of a question and an answer, used for memorizing in the process of repetition optimized by SuperMemo.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You can easily create such items yourself using the Add MemoCard<\/strong> icon in the top line and have SuperMemo organize the process of repetition to minimize the time you spend on learning and to maximize the retention effect. See Effective learning: Twenty rules of formulating knowledge<\/a> for hints on how to formulate knowledge to accelerate learning.<\/p>\n\n

Traditionally, in SuperMemo we have been using terms like items, cards or pages<\/em>, which all have a very broad meaning in general language. In other programs that follow the spaced repetition approach proposed by SuperMemo, such chunks of knowledge are often called flashcards<\/em>. This term is still strongly associated with two-sided cards, often physical, used for random or poorly optimized reviewing. We think MemoCard<\/em> is a very intuitive way of calling simple pieces of information composed of text and media, formulated for accelerated memorizing and learning through well-planned repetition.<\/p>\n\n
