Hey Phil and Kevin, curious if you guys have thought incorporating even more interleaving into the sequencing of review items?
You guys are obviously familiar because the app already does this between the content types of sounds, components, characters, and words. For anyone not familiar, here are a couple of videos that I think provide some good explanation and support for the idea:
You only need to watch about 50 seconds of this TED Talk video. From 12:07 to about 12:55. It should start right at 12:07.
From a âgetting everything rightâ point of view, I do like that as soon as I get a pronunciation card the very next one is the meaning, and I do think it might be more beneficial and make the knowledge stickier if things didnât always immediately follow each other. Just more of that idea that as you make your brain expend more effort to recall, the stronger the memory will end up being for usage.
I can also see an argument against doing this from the point of view of the thing or bit of knowledge youâre trying to make sticky is both parts, the meaning and the pronunciation, and so you always want those two to go together.
Just curious if thatâs anything thatâs come up before. Searching the forum, I didnât get any results for variations on interleaving.
