The Anki Algorithm- learning vs graduated

welcome to Aki 101 with the on King this video is going to be discussing what it means when a cart is in learning phase versus when it is graduated and how that ties into the Anki algorithm this will help you better understand what happens when you hit the again hard good or easy buttons so here is the on kink okay so now we've got our new card here we're gonna go look in the browser under learning there's our card and you probably don't have this already but I have ease and interval if I right click up here you can choose what you want to see so you can see it it's considering it a new card well we haven't done it yet so we're gonna go and do the card click there study now so the answer and I'm gonna click good which means it'll come back in 10 minutes popped right back because I have a set that I can learn ahead if I had if I don't have any other cards to learn now under the browser we're gonna go look at it now as you can see it's it's in the learning interval with an ease of two hundred and fifty percent okay we're gonna go back show the answer I'm gonna say I forgot it I got it wrong so I'm gonna click again I will go back to the browser and see what happens you can see the ease is still 250 percent and it's still considered being learned now if we go back it's gonna make me do ten minutes again so I'm gonna click it we'll do it again another time now it's gonna go to one day click it now it's gone now if we look at it in the browser the ease is 250 percent and the interval is one day this is really important because at this point the card has graduated is no longer considered in the learning period if you click on this options thing here and I click options and we're gonna talk about these settings in a different video and what I recommend but for now just understand that the steps are the steps that the card has to take in order to be learned the graduating interval is what it will graduate to once you've finished all of the steps and the easy interval is if you hit the easy button so this one that's what my again button does it sends it one minute I'll see it in one minute the good button does ten minutes the first time I hit it the second time I hit the good button it'll go to one day unless of course like I did I reset it by hitting the again but now I had to go through the steps again and now it is considered graduated the important part in understanding this is that every card has a starting ease of two hundred and fifty percent everything you do after the card graduates will affect the ease while it's in the learning phase it will not affect the ease you can hit the one you can hit again button over and over and over and over again until you've learned the card and you won't affect the ease but after it has graduated you will affect the ease and that's really important to understand okay this chart is really important that you understand because this explains what happens when you hit the buttons after the card has graduated so if you hit the again button your ease will decrease by 20% and now it's going to times the current interval times whatever the settings you have in the lab settings and we'll discuss that later if you hit the hard button your ease will decrease by 15% and you'll take your current interval times by 1.2 so if your current interval is 10 days you'll now see it in another 12 days but it's gonna decrease the ease so you will see it more often from here on out you hit good the ease will be the same and you just times by the ease if you hit easy your ease will actually increase by 15% and you'll get the current interval times the ease times whatever the easy bonus that you've set the default is one hundred and thirty percent I have changed mine to one hundred and fifty to make it so they go out even further it's important to note that all of these are multiplied by the interval modifier which is a default of a hundred percent but if you feel like all of your cards are coming back too early or too late you can change that thanks for with the young king if you enjoyed this please give us a like and subscribe to our Channel also please leave any and all questions and comments here's our email we will try to make as many of these videos as we possibly can to help you as you study
