Mnemosyne is a traditional flash card program to help you memorize question/answer pairs. The Mnemosyne Project has two aspects:
It's a sophisticated free flash-card tool which optimises your learning process.
It's a research project into the nature of long-term memory.
Efficient learning
The Mnemosyne software resembles a traditional flash-card program to help you memorise question/answer pairs, but with an important twist: it uses a sophisticated algorithm to schedule the best time for a card to come up for review. Difficult cards that you tend to forget quickly will be scheduled more often, while Mnemosyne won't waste your time on things you remember well.
Mnemosyne runs on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows.
Memory research
While you use the software, detailed statistics can be kept on your learning process. If you want, these logs can be uploaded in a transparent and anonymous way to a central server for analysis.
This data will be valuable to study the behaviour of our memory over a very long time period. As an additional benefit, the results will be used to improve the scheduling algorithms behind the software even further.
