With the advent of incremental reading, the rules have been modified, and re-prioritized. Changes of formulation strategy in incremental reading:

  • building comprehension may be part of the learning process, and creating cloze deletions on poorly understood phrases is acceptable
  • learning and memorization may occur in parallel (see: video)
  • early in the learning process, items may be complex. They get simplified incrementally depending on knowledge priority, and the available time
  • multiple cloze deletions on different formulations of the same statement may often substitute for mnemonic techniques (see: Knowledge darwinism)
  • lists, sets, and enumerations can be easily tackled with cloze deletion (see: video)
  • for personalization, add your own stories to texts that you learn. Elaborate creatively

Meta rule: Pleasure of learning A simple and universal litmus test for a good formulation is pleasure of learning. Each time you see a drop in pleasure, come back to this text and see if you can find a rule violation that might be responsible for the decline in fun.

Meta rule: Applicability We should strive at maximum applicability of knowledge.

Human intelligence is based on knowledge, of which abstract knowledge plays a particularly important role. Abstract knowledge is based on rules, such as 2+2=4. Such rules may be employed in multiple contexts and contribute to problem solving capacity. Rules are more useful than facts. For example, it is more useful to know that 2+2=4 (rule) than to know that a friends's phone number beings with 4 (fact). Rules and formulas are more applicable than facts. For more details see: Abstract knowledge

Meta rule: Simplicity In representing knowledge, we should always strive at formulating atomic memories set in a good context of comprehension. If learning is enjoyable, items are probably formulated pretty well. The picture explains why simple memories are easier to retain
