Ok. This is awesome. Had never heard of "Leitman Box" system, but this video of (i think @Anonym_s3) implementing it in @RoamResearch absolutely has me convinced it is the best way to do SRS in Roam today.
Great tutorial. Great use case.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmv5Yrnmlgg …

More info on Leitner Boxes
@andy_matuschak@michael_nielsen curious if you have thoughts on this as compared with Anki flavored forgetting curve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leitner_system …3 replies 0 retweets 8 likesShow this thread -

It's less efficient than SM2 etc but maybe easier to understand/phsicalize. I feel, though, that most people overrate the problem of optimizing the algorithm and underrate the problem of making SRS desirable, valuable, tractable. Optimization opp'ties are a nice problem to have.

eg. This morning I was studying service workers and writing some notes on them, and being able to write SRS prompts inline just completely transformed the experience. It feels completely different than writing atomized notes in Anki. This level of q is the high-order bit, I thinkpic.twitter.com/qT2JAQQqlJ

If you are doing clozes as you read, won't you run into a problem of 'over-clozing' things that will get decontextualized as time intervals get larger? Or does including the full note kind of solve that?

Replying to @joaoeira @andy_matuschak and
As in, one of the problems of effective card creation is making the question prompt immune to the curse of knowledge problem. Because a paragraph does not exist by itself, clozing things might create situations where prompt no longer elicits the context required to answer it.

Also, have you done any analysis on the differential effect on retention of q-a pairs and clozes? Think that's underexplored, or at I have not seen anything on it. Whenever I run into my own clozes I feel that I am answering based on pattern recognition rather than recall.

No, and I'm not aware of any direct empirical comparison. But anecdotally—both personally and in user interviews—the "pattern match" feeling seems pretty pervasive. Less clear to me how much of an actual problem it is.
