Is it fair to say that Legacy Skritter (Web version 1.0) and the current web version (2.0) are both on a continuous SRS mode, whereas some or all of the apps are now on an “overnight” mode, the same as ANKI? Also, is there any research or pedagogical basis for favoring one mode over the other? For example, are we supposed to “sleep on it” before reviewing some items again?
My personal feeling is that I get a sense of satisfaction from a lot of repetition during one session in order to get something really cemented in short term memory. I know that there is a theory (which I think is probably true) that the best way to get something into long term memory is to make the effort to recall it when it is almost-but-not-quite forgotten. I guess maybe an ANKI style overnight mode is closer to that but, I wonder if having had something well learnt in short-term memory doesn’t also have some benefit for adding something to long term memory through the review of nearly-forgotten items over a period of days and weeks.
