3. FullReCal reca user s MANUAL v 0 2 List of Contents Page 1 of 28 Introduction FullRecall 1s a software that 1s able to help you to learn new things faster and KEEP them in your memory as long as you want to with a minimum waste of time It is known that we keep forgetting things The longer the time you used some information for the last time the higher the probability that you will have trouble recalling it now If you want to keep some information in your mind you have to repeat it from time to time It is true that you could read certain books or articles or notes every two weeks or months But that certainly would not be optimal as the amount of information keeps growing and your time isn t It would be best to extract only most important things in brief form of entries or questions with answers and repeat them only as often as absolutely necessary to keep them alive in your memory And thats exactly what FullRecall does it schedules repetitions of your extracted information on exactly right time Not too early so you don t waste your time on repeating things you can still remember and not too late so you can still recall the information and by that refresh it in your memory Use FullRecall daily your time will not be wasted since you will be presented with only those information that you re close to forget FullRecall uses Artificial Neural Network ANN to learn your memory profile With every re

Back to list of contents Page 20 of 28 Tips amp Tricks Work with FullRecall regularly Using FullRecall every day is best It s better to spend every day 1 minute learning with FullRecall than spending 7 minutes every 7 days Also note that FullRecall schedules reviews with 1 day resolution but learning regularly even without the software pays off Don t be negligent during repetitions Even if you remember a fact well spend at least a few seconds thinking about it the best would be to use a association using imagination here some mnemonics before going to the next item Don t give up After some time like a month you may have a feeling that you don t learn much and that it s extremely hard to learn anything with FullRecall you have so many repetitions and serious problems with recollecting answers Remember that FullRecall doesn t repeat you items you remember well but only these hard to remember that you re close to forgetting Keep in mind that in your learning process are most likely many elements that you do remember well they are just not shown to you in order to not waste your time Keep questions and answers as short and simple as possible Every time you repeat a item and you ll have many repetitions you ll have to read a question and an answer The shorter the question and answer are the less time you waste on the item Note that you should spend some time on every item but ideally
