Neural Review (requires SuperMemo 19.04 or later)

FAQ

  • Q: Does neural review affect the learning process?. A: Yes. It works like subset review with all item repetitions registered in their repetition history
  • Q: What if I have SuperMemo 19.03?. A: Run sm19inst.exe again (it will update SuperMemo)
  • Q: The video shows elaborate concept structures. This requires lots of work. A: This work is optional. You can run neural review on a single import group, single text, single picture or even a single template
  • Q: Can you explain the functionality of neural tools?. A: See: Functionality of neural tools

Highlights

  • 0:10 simplicity of neural learning

Summary

  • 🧠 Neural Learning Enhancements: Neural learning is introduced as an upgrade to incremental learning in SuperMemo, requiring no manual planning, sorting, or prioritization. It automates everything, making the learning process more efficient and intelligent.
  • 📚 Nature vs. Nurture Debate: The video showcases how neural review helps organize and prioritize learning materials. For example, a psychological concept on "Nature vs. Nurture" is used to demonstrate its use in simplifying complex topics like personality psychology and brain structure.
  • 🔧 Automated Review Process: Users can adjust the importance of topics (like Oliver James' work) during review. SuperMemo lets you assign priority levels (e.g., high for more complex topics) without needing to worry about sorting them manually.
  • 🧬 Focus on Genetic Research: A part of the review discusses the serotonin transporter gene and epigenetic changes linked to life stress, illustrating how SuperMemo manages deep scientific concepts.
  • 🧠 Behaviorism and Personality Development: The video also covers John Watson's behaviorism and experiments like "Little Albert," emphasizing environmental factors in shaping behavior through conditioning.
  • 🔀 Adaptive Neural Review: SuperMemo's ability to prioritize certain information, such as genetics in the "Nature vs. Nurture" debate, ensures efficient learning through intelligent automation, bringing in factors like heritability and behavior genetics.

Side notes

  • Priority Levels: The video highlights how users can assign priority levels (e.g., "3" for Oliver James' work), allowing essential topics to take precedence during neural reviews.
  • Serotonin Transport Gene: The serotonin transporter gene is discussed as a key marker in genetic studies, adding depth to how SuperMemo processes scientific data with high priority (e.g., "53 elements" in review).
