I think that’s mainly an example where it’s not straightforward to make good cards.
Basically I would get a list that rise in serum αFP does X, Y and Z.
Then I would make cards:
Does higher or lower serum αFP does X? Does higher or lower serum αFP does Y? Does higher or lower serum αFP does Z?
I personally formulate the cards a bit differently but that’s the core.
Ven diagrams/etc, to compare and contrast similar lists. (This is more specific to medical school, when you learn subtly different diseases.)
I do have Anki cards that contain Ven diagrams. At the beginning the Ven diagram is shown empty and the user is asked where a given item belongs on the Ven diagram.
As answer card the whole Ven diagram is shown and the item that the user had to place is highlited with a special color.
I haven’t yet automated the production of such Ven diagrams but I think that’s part of the future of Spaced Repetition Learning.
Your mileage may vary, but after seeing so many people try and reject them, I figured it was enough data to share. Mnemonic pictures and memory palaces are slightly time consuming when you’re learning them.
If you want to learn information the day before a test and get a good score then Anki won’t help you for that purpose. That’s not what it’s made for.
Anki exists to prevent you from forgetting information. There a good chance that you will forget your memory palace information in a year.
Especially because memory palaces have a reuse problem. If you use the same palace for multiple lists you get conflicts.

I would guess most of those people violate various of Wozniaks rules.
If I look at the most popular Anki deck about medicine that’s on Anki shared deck list I fully understand that learning that way isn’t optimal.

That’s a good point; I’m frequently frustrated by existing decks because they tend to include too much information in the answer, or not use as many cues as they could, or not repeat themselves as much, etc. A lot of people do seem to be using Anki sub-optimally, which may explain ancientcampus’s observations.
