How It Works
You: 10 -15 minutes a day the for first week; after that, progressively less time each day.
YoYoBrain Memory Burner : accelerates memorization and ensures long term memory with scientifically turbo-charged speed and effectiveness.
What’s Involved
The app is organized around the following ideas
- Learning new information
- Reviewing what you have learned so you remember it
- Seeing how you are doing
Each area has been made as efficient as possible based on years of research and trial and error. We developed this app to help us become the best possible learners. Now it can help you too.
Learning new information
“Repetition is the mother of skill.” ”Practice makes perfect”. Very true sayings, but it’s a heck of a lot easier when you repeat or practice in smart way.
As programmers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiastic students of life (our hobbies collectively span interests ranging from languages and martial arts, to history, birding, gardening and commerce), there is a lot we are trying to learn. After going through a ton of tools, it seemed to us nothing could beat flashcards for memorization.
Still, memorization could be far too painful and inefficient when you have many facts to learn. The process was not efficient. So we made it more efficient.
We give you 7 facts to memorize at time. If you learn them, you won’t see them again that day unless you want to. If you don’t learn it, we put the card back in the stack . After getting through 6 other cards, we’ll show it to you again.
That keeps happening until you learn it. As you learn the card, it is moved out of your learning stack, and the next card is moved in. In this way it becomes as easy as possible to do what scientists refer to as “encoding” and “retrieval”. The rest of us call it “memorizing”.
Making Sure You Remember
Maybe you know the card today. What about tomorrow, or next week, or next month ? It turns out science has identified the best ways to make sure you remember.
As a card is learned, we file it away along with data on how many times you have seen it previously, both your successes and and failures. We use an algorithm we developed based on research done around the idea of “spaced repetition” to schedule a review for you every day. It’s set up to prevent overwhelm, while ensuring that mastery of the subject is maintained. Go through the auto-scheduled review each day – that’s it.
Checking Your Stats
No journey is fun when you have no idea where you are. Our stats and progress give you constant feedback on how you are doing.
Here’s a challenge: spend 15 minutes a day on the app for one week. If you don’t experience mastery of the information, contact us.
