Most spaced-repetition flashcard systemsforceyou into a question and answer format. Some even recommendyoubreak up your complex memories into dozens of tiny atomicfragmentsso you can test each individually.This is the wrong thing to do.Our strongest memories have many associations and areaccessiblefrom multiple angles. Memory Genius is a flexible andpowerfulspaced-repetition memory system which allows you to buildsuchcomplex memories naturally. A memory in Memory Genius can haveanynumber of associations, defined using simple cloze-deletionformat.For example:-----In a channel, the flow rate is [equivalent at any two points].Thisprinciple is described by [the continuity equation]:[Q = v1.A1 = v2.A2]where[Q = flow rate] in [m^3/s][v = fluid velocity] in [m/s][A = cross-section area] in [m^2/s]-----This memory chunk consists of nine associations.Traditionalflashcards would recommend you create nine flashcards,carving upyour memory into isolated factoids with no connectionsbetween eachother. Bad idea! Memory Genius allows you to keep yourmemorieswhole and add context to each, without sacrificingtestability.This is a powerful mechanism.Memory Genius presents each memory with all the answershidden.Each time you tap, the one additional answer is revealed.You mustanswer them all correctly to score for that 'card'. Thismulti-stepquiz is perfect for information that is difficult tocapture intraditional flashcard systems, such as:- lists- poetry- song lyrics- music in general- series of events- procedures- reasoning- memory palaces- anagrams and other mnemonicsWe have also found that this method makes even simplememoriesmore memorable. For example,"Mum was born on the [12th of September, 1948]."is easier to remember as a whole chunk thanthechallenge-response:Q: Mum's DOB?A: 12 Sep, 1948.In addition to this powerful multi-step testing, MemoryGeniusallows you to organise your memories into a concept map. Youcantest all your memories or any subtree of your concept map asyouwish. The mere act of organising your memories will also helpyoustrengthen your understanding.The concept map was the initial motivation for developingMemoryGenius. Most other software uses tags, which soonbecomeunmanageable. Trust me, my memory database has ballooned to19,000memories. The only way I was able to manage my memory was towriteMemory Genius!
