>>13031253Forced spaced repetition is overrated. Prove me wrong, the studies I know didn't really test long term outcome.
Everyone knows that you study more what you understand less, yes. You will do that organically.
but forced spaced repetition isn't some magical formula into lifelong recall, if anything it just gets in the way
but to answer your question back when I used anki after many different trials I settled on this:
steps (in minutes): 1 10 11 12 13
graduationg interval: 1 day
easy interview: 1 day
starting ease 250%
~~~reviews:
max review per day 200
easy bonus 130%
interval modifier 100%
max interval 36500 days
~~~lapses:
min interval 1 day
leech threshold 8 lapses
--/end settings report
the only part that is interesting is the steps, basically if I got it right, I should not see the card for another 10 minutes, and each time it would be another 10 minutes.
Thats what the (10,11,12,13) is for, as anki didn't used to (still doesn't?) handle 10,10,10,10 correctly. after that it goes into review for the next day, if I get it right again it will be oneday*250%.
keep in mind its something like: "to up your retention retention by 5 percentage points, you've have to study 35% more frequently."

I honesty find anki overly complex, with things like it forcing reviews to be at minimum one day longer then last time organically, and to change this you have to use steps (not reviews) longer than a day in a clunky manner, it does this no matter what the interval modifier is at, like 50% will shorten it but not less then (what is was + a day) so after the first time you won't see it again for 2 days, next time 3 days.
then there is the weird Easy bonus setting which doesn't work how you would think before you look it up.
and the way it adds new cards into decks is not helpful, with it suggesting "to avoid this set it back to ordered mode then back to random mode" reminding you why freeware is always a headache.
