Elementos (cartas) de definición-palabra para SRS
Versión original: Definition-word items (cards) in SRS
Nota: En Antimoon usamos terminología de SuperMemo. Un par de Pregunta/Respuesta se llama elemento (item). Una colección de elementos, como su nombre lo indica, se llama colección. En la primera versión de Anki un elemento se llama una carta (card), y una colección se llama un mazo (deck). En la segunda versión de Anki, una carta se llama una nota (note) y un mazo se llama colección.

Estos elementos son utilizados para aprender vocabulario. El campo de pregunta usualmente contiene una definición tomada de un diccionario de inglés. El campo de respuesta contiene una palabra en inglés, su pronunciación , y algunas oraciones de ejemplo.
Usualmente tomamos ejemplos de diccionarios. Intentamos encontrar tantas oraciones de ejemplo como nos sea posible, lo cual es por lo que preferimos usar varios diccionarios. Nosotros escribimos las transcripciones fonéticas por nuestra cuenta usando el Alfabeto Fonético ASCII, ya que usa letras y símbolos que no puedes encontrar en tu teclado de computador.

Estos elementos son parecidos a los elementos "clásicos" usados en colecciones comerciales como Advanced English que puedes encontrar en SuperMemo World. (Pero los elementos clásicos no tienen oraciones de ejemplo en el campo de respuesta.) Nosotros usamos este tipo de elementos por muchos años – durante la mayoría de nuestro periodo de aprendizaje. Estos elementos son efectivos, pero hoy en día preferimos los elementos de oraciones.
