    Has anyone successfully used spaced repetition for highly associative knowledge? Ie opposite end of the spectrum from say vocabulary or encyclopediac fact sets... say a major mythology or a body of case law or an industrial sector history (including key stats)

        In such cases the spaced repetition is all about the associative memory just like memory palaces or other memory techniques. And ofc there are still a lot of bear facts to recall of all of those

        Yes. I used to highlight texts while reading, pull those highlights into Anki, and then convert them into active recall flashcards using either cloze deletion (fill in the blank) or Q&A.

        Best way to do this is to highlight: 1. Passages you find interesting 2. Passages which define key terms (eg “premium mediocre”) 3. Passages that puzzle you (you’ll typically come to understand their meaning over time as you delve into a new area of learning)

        🙋🏻‍♀️New York Bar exam’s essay portion. For the multistate portion, the usual fact set memorization. For essays, I made cue cards based on vocabulary trigger words, with extrapolations on the back. Spaced reps throughout the study period to learn 3 years of law school in a few mos.

        Yes, used it to study for AWS certification, which was a mix of knowing SLAs, performance stats, and associations between services to compose architecture for various purposes.

        I'd love to learn more about how you structured your flashcards; I'm probably going to need to learn this stuff within the year

        I'm creating something for learning mental models using spaced repetition. Will send you the beta when it's ready.
