Viewing Study History

Mental Case keeps track of when you study a note, and the combination of facets included each time.

The information included in the study history is:

LabelDescription
Last StudiedThe most recent date on which any combination of facets was studied.
Next ScheduledThe next date on which a facet combination will become due for study.
Due for StudyWhether there is currently a facet combination due for study.
Times StudiedThe total number of times this note has been studied in a slideshow, no matter what combination of facets was included.
Ratio CorrectThe percentage of study events where the note was marked as correct.
Recent RunThe recent run of continuous correct or incorrect responses. The run includes only consecutive right, or consecutive wrong, study events.
Year RetentionThe probability that you will remember this note after one year. This is based on scientific forgetting curves, though is still just a statistical estimate based on the average rate that people forget things. It is averaged over all facet combinations. The higher the value, the more likely you will remember the note.
Month RetentionThe probability that you will remember this note after one month, estimated using forgetting curves.

You can find study data in the note info pane of the note editor.
