Each flashcard typically bears a question or definition on one side and an answer or target term on the other. Flashcards are often used to memorize <a href="/wiki/Vocabulary" title="Vocabulary">vocabulary</a>, historical dates, formulae or any subject matter that can be learned via a question-and-answer format. Flashcards can be virtual (part of a <a href="/wiki/List_of_flashcard_software" title="List of flashcard software">flashcard software</a>), or physical. </p><p>Flashcards are an application of the <a href="/wiki/Testing_effect" title="Testing effect">testing effect</a> − the finding that <a href="/wiki/Long-term_memory" title="Long-term memory">long-term memory</a> is increased when some of the learning period is devoted to retrieving the information through testing with proper feedback. Study habits affect the rate at which a flashcard-user learns, and proper <a href="/wiki/Spaced_repetition" title="Spaced repetition">spacing of flashcards</a> has been proven to accelerate learning.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Use">Use</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Flashcard&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Flashcards exercise the mental process of <a href="/wiki/Active_recall" class="mw-redirect" title="Active recall">active recall</a>: given a prompt, one produces the answer.

It is a simple implementation of the principle of spaced repetition, where cards are reviewed at increasing intervals. </p><p>In this method, flashcards are sorted into groups according to how well the learner knows each one in the Leitner's learning box. The learners try to recall the solution written on a flashcard. If they succeed, they send the card to the next group. If they fail, they send it back to the first group. Each succeeding group has a longer period of time before the learner is required to revisit the cards. In Leitner's original method, published in his book <i>So lernt man Lernen</i> (How to learn to learn), the schedule of repetition was governed by the size of the partitions in the learning box. These were 1, 2, 5, 8 and 14 cm. Only when a partition became full was the learner to review some of the cards it contained, moving them forward or back depending on whether they remembered them. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Software">Software</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Flashcard&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Software"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/List_of_flashcard_software" title="List of flashcard software">List of flashcard software</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Anki_flashcard_question_and_answer_math.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Anki_flashcard_question_and_answer_math.gif/220px-Anki_flashcard_question_and_answer_math.gif" decoding="async" width="220" height="242" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Anki_flashcard_question_and_answer_math.gif/330px-Anki_flashcard_question_and_answer_math.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Anki_flashcard_question_and_answer_math.gif/440px-Anki_flashcard_question_and_answer_math.gif 2x" data-file-width="650" data-file-height="715" /></a><figcaption>Example of a virtual flashcard: using <a href="/wiki/List_of_flashcard_software" title="List of flashcard software">flashcard software</a> <a href="/wiki/Anki_(software)" title="Anki (software)">Anki</a> to review a mathematical formula.
