PROBLEM: Currently, Anki treats each card as fully independent. However, some topics especially in fields like medicine, anatomy, or physics rely on context continuity. For example, one concept naturally leads into another, and breaking that chain disrupts learning flow. Let’s say I have a set of r…

But is a sequence really necessary for those? I never studied medicine, only psychology, but during my studies using simple basic questions & image occlussion was more than enough. Sure, there have been a lot of cards that ask about various aspects of the topic (like symptoms, treatment, affected pa…

I’m in medicine so there’s a lot of context dependent reasoning chains, situations where knowing A only makes sense if you remember B first, for example, for example if you’re shown with first a basic card that asks “Which nerve innervates the muscles of facial expression —> Facial nerve (CN VII)” T…

Yeah but the whole thing isnt about cloze only, it would be a bunch of different card types showing in sequences

You can probably modify the templates to show the type of questions you want, instead of cloze.

You’re right they might not always be needed for these scenarios because with time it just becomes natural to know this and that, but many of us are still students and so we need to learn certain facts to get the points needed on the exams, but in my opinion it can also helps memorize certain mechan…

I would love to see this implemented. I actually had the same idea, searched for it and stumbled upon this thread. My context is physics. There often the order of cards does not matter as single ideas are not in a specific order (I don’t care if I first look at electrodynamics or quantum mechanics)…

There are sequential cloze templates out there that might do what you want. See for example this topic Cloze one by one uncovering.
