Yes. The entire knowledge needed to start is encompassed in the page long Minimum User's Guide which is present at the beginning of the manual, as well as on the installation disk (MINGUID7.TXT). Five simple operations needed to use SuperMemo can be learned in less than 10 minutes! No specialized knowledge is required.

Yes. A limited, paper-and-pencil variant of SuperMemo exists, and is shortly described in the file SMPAP.TXT. A more detailed description you will find in the file SMPAP.DOC (Microsoft Word format).

Yes, on condition that the access to computers in the laboratory is regular. Once you start working with SuperMemo, you must systematically continue the process of repetitions. Otherwise, the acquired knowledge will gradually be forgotten (e.g. if you stop after having used SuperMemo for 5 years, you will forget about 60% of the learned material in the first year!). In SuperMemo 7.

Install one copy of SuperMemo and duplicate these databases that are to be used by the members of the family. You can store databases under different names in the default database directory (e.g. databases MUM, DAD, CATE in the subdirectory C:\SM7\DB), or under the same name in different subdirectories (e.g. database ENGLISH in subdirectories C:\SM7\DB1, C:\SM7\DB2, C:\SM7\DB3, etc.).

Yes. Let us define intelligence as the capability to process information. Your brain is like a computer: the better software it runs, the better it performs. You can identify the elements of knowledge that, for example, will make you perform better in intelligence tests. Those elements, if representable in audiovisual or textual form, can be used to learn, and consequently, improve your intelligence.

KEO depends essentially on the human solidarity to receive messages from those people who are illiterate. We are currently working with several international networks to publicize the project and help in the collection of messages.

It will not help you generate a response without a stimulus. You cannot use it to remember to turn off the gas, unless you associate the turning off the gas with a specific trigger. For example:

Yes. You can build mind maps directly in SuperMemo; however, it is easier to import them from specialized mind map software (e.g. MindMan). You can include MindMap objects with the OLE component or you can simply import them as graphics (as BMP or GIF files). For example, import your mind map as graphics to an image component and check Answer on the image component pop-up menu. Add a text component, e.g. "What is the structure of mind map X?".

For convenience, in your default template use plain-text components and link the appropriate font, for example, Times New Roman with Script set to Central European Do not forget to set Script to Central European. If you cannot do that, you have to install support for Central and Eastern Europe. If you can already use Polish fonts, for example, in MS Word, you don't need to execute steps 1-3. I added a note with Ctrl+N, deleted the rich text component and ..

Yes. A little known and a scantly publicized value of incremental reading is its power to combine unrelated pieces of information in the learn&review process.

Generally, most research papers should be done in third person, though, to be more formal.

For now, patients who can't read or write Spanish at all will need to use Converser™ passively: English-speaking healthcare workers will be able to speak to them in natural spoken Spanish, using the system's text-to-speech features; but responses from the patients will be conveyed through gestures, by saying "sí" and "no", etc. However, patients who can at least read simple Spanish can respond through Converser's Translation Shortcuts facility.
