Been working through this and now have a much better idea of how Anki could help with conceptual learning. Looks promising for sharpening vague understanding, and I have a tendency towards stopping at only a vague understanding, so could potentially be very useful. https://twitter.com/michael_nielsen/status/1107782685798227970 …

I made a *very* feeble attempt to try Anki after reading
@michael_nielsen's essay, and weirdly the first cards I made were the Pauli matrices (always forget them). Quickly gave up as I didn't really get the point. http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html2 replies 0 retweets 3 likesShow this thread -

My relationship to & use of Anki has changed over a few years: - made my own ‘concept cards’ proforma which generates about 5 standard question cards per concept - I use a graded easy to difficult card approach, starting with, eg: keywords, main proponents, key works 1/2

Interesting! I've never used Anki at all, thought of it as 'that thing medical students use to memorise a load of facts'. So the idea of using it for deep understanding is new to me, will have to experiment.

I wrote a little about its more conceptual uses here: http://cognitivemedium.com/srs-mathematics

Thank you, that looks really useful! I skimmed it at the time but then (ironically) completely forgot about it by the time I read your QC post.
