Flashcards / Spaced Repetition

Spaced repetition (SRS) is an evidence-based learning technique that is usually performed with flashcards. It is based on learning over a longer period time with distributed sessions. Newly introduced and more difficult flashcards are shown more frequently, while older and less difficult flashcards are shown less frequently in order to exploit the psychological spacing effect.1 The use of spaced repetition has been proven to increase rate of learning.

In Logseq, we can make use of Spaced Repetition by adding the #card or [[card]] syntax. We create cards and clozes quite easily.

How to create a card?

There're two ways to create a card.

1. You can add either #card or [[card]] to any block to make it a card.

2. You can right-click the bullet and select "Make a card", which will add #card to the end of the current block.

3. Write the answer / back of the card in the child block

As an example, you should have something like

• Capital of Spain #card

  • Madrid

The above will show on the front of the card Capital of Spain and show Madrid when you click show answer.

How to create a cloze?

The content in a cloze is not shown by default. For example, [...], you can click it to reveal its content. You can have multiple [...] in a block too.
