This system was created to replace traditional forms of memorization and fill in a number of missing elements in the memory recall process.

Identification
---------------------
problem: The student remembers the formula/procedure/steps but does not remember its name or application.
solution: The topic ID is at the head of the acrostic. Here is an example.

Adding and subtracting terms- [for fractions- same denominator/for polynomials- same exponent and variable/for radicals- same index and radicand]

Verification
------------------
problem: The student remembers the formula/procedure/definiton but is unsure of the accuracy of the recall.
solution: A weakened or an interference-ladened recall can be verified via interconnections to the retrieval cue, material, or the acrostic.

Categorization
----------------------
problem: The student has forgotten that a formula/procedure/definition exists.
solution: The category lists are maintained in memory via the spaced repetition system.

problem: The student does not know what to do or where to begin solving the math problem.
solution: Parts of the math problem can be identified and matched to their category.

problem: The student creates his or her own rule or procedure thinking that the rule or procedure exists and is valid.
solution: Every action in the example has an ID and is maintained in memory by the spaced repetition system.

Use this list as a quick reference to avoid affecting the intervals
of the category list acrostics.

Elaboration
-----------------
problem: The student has partially or completely forgotten a formula/procedure/definition.
solution: The acrostic is interconnected with the material and is maintained in the spaced repetition system. The topic ID and subcategories are used as retrieval cues to help recall the acrostic and the material. Here is an example.

A S T [ F... P... R... ]
Adding and subtracting terms- [for fractions- same denominator/for polynomials- same exponent and variable/for radicals- same index and radicand]

Assisted initial repetition
----------------------------------
problem: New material requires a large amount of initial drill.
solution: For new material, the acrostic letters and knowledge of the material are used to assist the initial recall of new material.

Deck: Algebra Acrostics 10 new cards a day(for two weeks)
Interval modifier: 100%
Steps: 1 10
3 on the answer button graph is the number of retrieval cue successes.
2 on the answer button graph is the number of retrieval cue failures.

The SRS presents cards that are close to being forgotten. This may give a false impression that you are in a constant state of struggle with the material or that the system is not working. If you are new to SRS it would be helpful to keep a log of your statistics to remind you that this is normal. The purpose of the SRS is to maintain the ability to recall facts for life. The tradeoff is a workload that will decrease over time while your performance will either increase or remain steady.

Types of recall
--------------------
Good- The retrieval cue activates the recall.
Hard- Only the material or the other side of the acrostic helps to activate the recall.
Very hard- Initially the retrieval cue and the material does not help to recall but after a long delay the retrieval suddenly activates.

Learning stage

Over-learning stage (Workload starts to decrease)
----------------------------
In this stage, over-learning and the spacing effect pushes the cards into maturity.

Majority mature stage (Workload decreases to very small numbers)
---------------------------------
You should wait until the cards have reached this stage before you use the system for a test. If the test is really important use the quick reference to test yourself, and reset the intervals on any failed recalls. You should also be able to recall the category lists.
