Is it true that flashcards improve foreign language vocabulary learning?
Unclear. The retrieved studies consistently point in one direction: several small classroom and laboratory studies, plus a meta-analysis of the Quizlet flashcard platform, report vocabulary gains from flashcard use. However, each covers only a specific population, setting, or flashcard variant, so the evidence supports a narrower version of the claim rather than the general statement that flashcards improve foreign language vocabulary learning.
