MemoryLifter 2.1

It is scientifically proven that it is necessary to stimulate and activate our brain not only in childhood and youth but also as adults and seniors. Lifelong learning is not only a topic for students and employees. In reality, we are confronted with learning in all areas of our lives. MemoryLifter is a free scientific memorization tool based upon the work of Ebbinghaus and Leitner. It is easy to use and makes learning fun. We are convinced you will find MemoryLifter useful. Sebastian Leitner was a European psychologist who conceived the box system (also called "Leitner system") in the 1960s. Its purpose is to provide a structure for people to learn and retain vocabulary in short-term and long-term memory.

The box system is comprised of a set of boxes (10 in the case of MemoryLifter), each containing a certain number of flashcards. This amount rises proportionally with the boxs number. Also, the higher the box number, the nearer are the respective cards in the long-term memory.

Thus, at any time the quantity of flashcards inside each box level provides a quick feedback of the current state of the users knowledge, and the memory retention (short-term and/or long-term).
