Description

Functionality:

This addon automatically flips back to the front side of a card if you rate "Again", hiding the answer and forcing you to recall it again from memory. It will do this until you pass the card. This addon doesn't impact the review history of the card (it only leaves one "Again").

The purpose of this addon is to enforce the following recall method (sort of like by simulating 0 s learning steps) and keep you honest such that you don't accidentally move on after rating a card "Again" without actually being able to recall the answer at that point in time.

In my 🍒 3 Rules of Card Creation guide, I also wrote about 🍒 The Most Amazing Recall Method:

There’s an important rule you should follow while reviewing cards, which is especially applicable to longer, more challenging cards:

If you weren’t able to remember the answer to a card, instead of rating “again” immediately, first quickly attempt to recall the answer from memory again.

If you fail, attempt again and again until you can fully recall the answer. Then rate “again”.

It’s important to follow this rule: just because you can see the answer on the back of the card doesn’t mean you can recall the answer at that same point in time (which the FSRS algorithm assumes you could after every review). If you couldn’t recall it even right after seeing the answer, then how can you recall it after an even longer time interval has passed?

As long as you have met the prerequisites for understanding and being able to “know” the answer (as in it’s not like you currently have no way of understanding what the card is even talking about), this should take at most a few passes- even for the most challenging cards. You’d be surprised, the testing effect is extraordinarily effective.

Toggle:

While this recall method is very important to follow when reviewing longer/more challenging/more complex cards, the extra time spent flipping through the cards may not be very necessary or worth it for cards that are very short and simple (such as vocabulary). That's why there's an accessible toggle button for this addon in the Tools bar so that you can easily toggle it on specifically when studying decks for the more complex & abstract subjects, and toggle it off when studying decks for the simpler & easier subjects.
