Why Flashcards Help Us Learn
- 1. Flashcards engage “active recall”
Using flash cards requires that users recall information from scratch. This type of information processing has been proven to result in successful long-term retention
SLIDE 7
Why flashcards help us learn
- 2. Flashcards utilize your metacognitive faculties
Flash cards allow users to self-reflect and assess their progress. This is known as metacognition. They prompt users to ask questions like:
Was my answer close to the correct answer? If not, how far off was it? If so, how accurate was it? How many questions have I answered correctly today?
The more answers that are correct, the more inclined the users are to continue learning.

Why flashcards help us learn:
- 3. Flashcards allow for confidence-based repetition
Due to the fact that flash cards are independent from books or other documents, users can categorize cards into piles that need to be studied more. This confidence-based repetition has been proven to be the leading method of improving memory performance.

Long-Term Learning
About a year ago, Quizlet launched Long-Term Learning. Long-Term
Learning uses a standard spaced repetition algorithm, similar to SuperMemo or Anki. It works something like this:
Introduce a few new terms each day Study all of the day’s terms until you get them all correct, then study the
new terms again the next day
Each time a term is answered correctly, increase the delay until it’s studied
again by a little more than double (Study 1 day later, 3 days after that, then 7 days, 16 days, etc.)
If a term is answered incorrectly, start over and reset the delay for that term
to 1 day
