Flash cards are cards with question on one side and answers on opposite, used for memorization. Exist several computer apps that automate the process and have recorded a lot of data. Humans really need more cognitive tests for their own health. I expected electronic flashcard data to be useful as a cognitive test so I started a project to analyze the data that Anki produces. Turns out the project teaches users about learning and allows them to experiment with and optimize their own learning process. In addition, the project encourages learning by illustrating success in detail, similar to gamification.
The project is a work in progress and much of the intended functionality is not yet working. I cannot yet guarantee that each of the goals will be accomplished too much.
The goal of encouragement will be fulfilled simply by having lots of plots. Though I must mention that Anki already has some built in. Teaching about learning is almost as simple because analyzing the data requires delving into the process of learning. Optimization will be done by looking at partial dependence plots and ICE curves.[1]
Everyone should track their cognitive capability as much as health-conscious people track their heartrate and exercise. Formal cognitive testing takes too much time, and relevance to user's productivity goals is often questionable. An alternative that solves both is skill trainers like typing tutors.
