Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Flashcard practice improves learning and retention more than restudying the same material?

Unclear. Several peer-reviewed items report that retrieval or spaced-repetition practice, including flashcard software, improves long-term retention, but none directly compares flashcard practice against restudying the same material. One preliminary study even suggests a non-flashcard method outperformed traditional flashcards.
