Re: Spaced repetition for efficient learning (2019)
#62One counterintuitive issue with spaced repetition is that the modern algorithms like FSRS are actually almost too good at scheduling. The effect is that each card is almost perfectly scheduled to be very difficult but still doable. Now, it's a bit weird to call it an issue considering it's the whole concept working exactly as designed. But it does cause one follow-up problem. The problem is that in life, we are accus…
A lot of the responses seem to be blaming the user/learner and requiring them to change their mindset/attitude, which is actually an insane take.
As you pointed out, SRS isn't the full solution.
BTW, I would say that language classes often try to maintain a constant level of difficulty, but there is usually some kind of coverage of the previous material too.
