To help user conduct experiments, project will compare one part of time series with another or progress on one set of cards with another. User may have to use another tool like [[Open Humans]].

==== Potential Tests of Emotion ====
Tests that should mostly measure user's opinion of Anki itself and possibly general mood. Possibly strongly influenced by outside factors. Useful for optimizing Anki performance but not cognitive testing. For example, expectation of reward (candy) right after session could improve performance by improving mood or opinion of Anki.
* Starting early in the day
* Not skipping days
* Not getting distracted
* Reviewing cards fast
* Reviewing many cards
=== Confounders and Artifacts of Procedure ===
=== Confounders and Artifacts of Procedure ===
Some of the artifacts will differ between tests so comparing results from multiple tests may result in a single decent time series strongly dependent on skill. If these solutions are not enough, one of the tests may correlate and generalize to an established validated cognitive test. That would still allow experimentation on and optimization of a skill, but through a cognitive ability.

=== Cognitive Health Test ===
=== Cognitive Health ===
Everyone should track their cognitive ability as much as health-conscious people track their heartrate and exercise. IQ tests are supposed to have high 'reliability' and not change much between days for any individual. [[Quantified Mind|Formal cognitive testing]] takes too much time and effect on daily life of the specific thing the cognitive test tests is often questioned. Skill trainers and testers like typing tutors have none of the mentioned problems. Even if a skill test is useful for optimizing the skill, things like dependence on psychological factors may not make it a good cognitive test. The skill test must correlate with validated cognitive tests or obviously important health things to be a good cognitive or health test.
