Revision as of 20:21, 5 May 2009
To study your memory and sleep, use options available in SuperMemo in the following places:
Examples
Tools : Workload
You can use Tools : Workload (Ctrl+W) to inspect the daily and the monthly calendar of repetitions. You can view the number of repetitions scheduled, number of scheduled topics, number of scheduled items, as well as the record of past repetitions, and past retention, or how many new items were memorized.
Daily workload
Monthly workload
Tools : Statistics : Analysis
You can use Tools : Statistics : Analysis (Ctrl+Alt+I) to inspect your forgetting curve, daily changes to your measured Forgetting index, your learning overload, and many more:
Forgetting curve
Daily changes to the measured forgetting index
Priorities missed due to overload
Tools : Statistics : Statistics
You can use Tools : Statistics : Statistics to supervise and understand your learning process:
Tools : Statistics : Element data
You can use Tools : Statistics : Element data to inspect learning statistics of a given element:
You can inspect the history of repetitions for individual elements:
Tools : Timeline
You can use Tools : Timeline (F12) to optimize the timing of your sleep as well as the timing of your learning:
Sleep and repetitions timeline
Inspect the timeline of repetitions and sleep:
Look for the best time for learning or sleep (see Timeline for details):
Alertness
See how your brain gradually loses its power during the day:
Two-component sleep model
Look for the time of the day that should give you maximum learning power. See when your learning is not likely to be effective and when you should rather go to sleep:
