FSRS short term scheduling

Anki FSRS

FSRS has no model for “short”-term (intraday, sub-1d) memory. No, it is not recommended that you leave your learning/relearning steps empty.

Clarifications about FSRS-5, short-term memory and learning steps – Jarrett Ye

TL;DR:

Key Takeaways

  1. FSRS-5 primarily models long-term memory but considers the impact of short-term reviews on long-term retention.
  2. Short-term reviews significantly affect short-term memory, but modeling this is complex and a comprehensive short-term memory model is not yet available.
  3. In Anki, if you previously had non-blank learning steps, it’s not recommended to switch to blank steps when using FSRS. Maintaining appropriate learning steps is still important.
  4. FSRS Helper can recommend learning step settings based on personal statistics, offering a data-driven optimization approach.
