### Statistics

Mental Case keeps track of what you study and when you study it. This information is used to schedule notes, but also to give you some history for each note, and statistics for slideshows.

If you edit a note by double clicking it in the note browser, you can open the Note Info pane on the right of the window. This pane shows data related to when the note was last studied, whether it is due, and other useful tidbits.

It also shows an estimate of the probability of recalling the note after one month and one year. This is based on scientific studies into how fast people forget information. The values shown are purely an estimate, and should only be considered a guide, because everyone’s memory differs. The values are averaged over all combinations of facets for the note.

In the slideshow mode, you can click the statistics button in the toolbar at the bottom. This brings up a screen showing details of the current slideshow, such as the number of correctly answered notes. It also shows historical data for the notes in that particular slideshow, such as the ratio of right to wrong in previous slideshows, and the average length of time you can expect to remember the notes as a function of time. Hopefully, your chart slopes upward, indicating that you are remembering the notes longer and longer.
