Flash cards are cards with question on one side and answers on opposite.

I started this project to analyze the data that [[Anki]] records because I expected electronic flashcard data to be useful as a [[Tools for Cognitive Testing|continuous cognitive test]]. If this works, the resulting information would be useful for Citizen Science and Health Tracking. Academic papers may be successfully replicated here even though neither massed analysis (though common on kaggle) nor single subject longitudinal observational studies like this project are common in scientific literature I have seen.

Turns out the project will teach users about learning and allow them to experiment with and optimize their own learning process. All flashcard apps already optimize their student's learning but do not open the process to the user, except [[Piotr Wozniak|Super Memo 18]]. (this project already has different features) Resulting visualizations encourage studying by illustrating success in different way than existing apps, similar to gamification.
