@bikramjit_dasgupta Sounds great. "through a wide range scientific techniques" - where can I learn about scientific techniques you use?

@nikiluk Hey Nikita, great question. I aimed for the app to utilize techniques like spaced repetition and the spacing effect in general for long term memory recollection. In an ideal setting, I've observed the effects but we don't live in an ideal world. Therefore, I utilized techniques to enforce associative memory recollection to help people remember their topics in the short term. I combined it with visualization (like the aspect of color, other objects, topics and more) at a high frequency to help aid diversification of memory links between other things and the user's topics. In my experience, using the long-term scheduling system as a framework for short-term revision works best. The attempts are slightly rudimentary but I've been hugely fascinated by these topics enough to use them to learn myself, and eventually creating my project. :D The topics mentioned above have an abundance of results on the web. But a few great materials I am interested by are: - https://bit.ly/2vEkyV3 (Research on computer based spaced repetition) - https://bit.ly/2mFO3AE (Research on the psychological influence of color in memory) - https://bit.ly/2V3dlIz (Associative learning and memory formation) - https://bit.ly/2H6vsIm (Some material on other topics)

@bikramjit_dasgupta Thank you. Have you thought about designing a placebo test? And to run this experiment with limited set of users. In such a way, you can discriminate several factors and actually understand what works and what does not for memory consolidation in your concrete setup.

Great way to use known-methods to help folks remember things. Why a native app though? This seems like it'd be great as a web-app that I could access from any device

@christopher_lee4 I have considered it. But before I do that, I wish to ensure sustainability by getting the critical mass necessary before taking it to the cloud. I also see this as a development phase to iron things out and make it more effective than it is, through research, user input and feature additions. The end goal is a cross platform app that people can use anywhere they'd like.

I think duolingo and memrise offer similar products so you are up for quite a challenge if you are serious in trying to leave a footprint here... Good luck, this seems useful!

@realromangary That's very true but I'm aiming for a more multipurpose approach with the product. I believe most tools are aimed towards language learning at the moment.

A few asked about how the data is used. All data in the app is stored locally onto your device and does not leave it. The app does not collect or distribute any information externally. A major update is on its way soon. The update will massively upgrade the features of the app, adding tests, memorization processes and more. EDIT: A "fill in the blanks" test is now added.
