Motor learning is quite different from the type of information the article talks about. I tried adding dance moves into Anki to do spaced repetition and it's extremely obvious that it's a great way to remember a move very badly but never getting good at it. Compare that to the geography deck where Anki is just perfectly suited for the task and smashes it.

Do you have more experiences with learning dance moves and spaced repetition you can share? That sounds interesting. (Also what dance is it?)

Spaced repetition works well for motor learning. You just have to keep hitting “Again” until you are actually good at it.

I don't think that's very useful. You're saying basically treating anything except mastery as "I forgot". That's too much practice. It also doesn't take into considering that you are better of doing your reps later in the day (ie close to your sleep cycle).

Sure, you can sort of use SRS here, but it's suboptimal and probably will leave too many cards in the top priority "learning" pile causing too much load, or you train incorrectly.

Still, I agree that this is MUCH better than NOT doing SRS if you don't have an alternate tool with a better algorithm.
