=== 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. However, 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 will have to correlate with validated cognitive tests or obviously important health things or at least transfer to other tests to become validated<ref>[[wikipedia:Validity_(statistics)|en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Validity_(statistics)]]</ref> as a cognitive or health test. The tests are unlikely to be pure in the sense of [[Quantified Mind]]' science page. This makes them better checks for general unhealth but harder to diagnose a specific problem with.

===== Ability to remember cards =====
===== Recall<ref>supermemo.guru/wiki/Recall</ref> =====
Remembering on a given day. Wozniak explains it better but I would say that this should be separated in to real forgetting that changes state for several reviews or just momentary lapse. Both are measured separately making two tests. There are also more mild state of card consolidation changes that may happen that are not just forgetting. This may be a third test.
===== Consolidation of Memory<ref>supermemo.guru/wiki/Memory_consolidation</ref> =====
If on a set day the cards were memorized better or worse as will be seen on their next review. This is like the following two potential identical tests but more generally about change and not about speed?
==== Time taken to learn a new word ====
If considering only the first session, learning new words in Anki is like cued verbal learning like in the CVLT, a cognitive test. Though in the CVLT<ref>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Verbal_Learning_Test</ref> the cue is much weaker. And verbal learning transfers to other abilities: "There is considerable evidence that verbal learning correlates reasonably strongly with performance in a number of important practical tasks.

==== Time taken to relearn a forgotten word ====
Like learning new word but with stronger cue or part of the memory still in mind.
==== Forgetting between sessions ====
==== Forgetting between sessions ====
Forgetting as a consequence of something bad happening between test days, like a concussion. This is similar to multiple sequential days being bad for longer term cards other but over a much longer period of test days.
