Striking analogy between the mnemonic medium and supervised learning. Makes me think about analogies to things done in supervised learning: adding noise to the data (questions) to improve generalization; changing the loss function (overall scoring), etc. Fun to think about!

In the next essay we are, in fact, doing something much like adding noise to the questions (or, at least, variation) to help improve generalization.

Incidentally, a very amusing instance of this idea is sans forgetica, a typeface designed to improve retention because it's so damned difficult to read: I have trouble believing this works, but, well, you can read the paper yourself.

I had sans forgetica as answers' font for Anki cards (before switching to only cloze deletion). The perceived effect of memory strengthening was, in my experience, tiny compared to active vs passive recall.

I think that using it in questions would have the opposite effect of questions perturbations. My guess is that sans forgetica would reinforce the visual look of the question as a hook for the concept you are trying to recall.
