flash card
Memorization aid paper
A flash card is a card bearing information on one or both sides, used for memorization through repeated review.
Typically one side shows a prompt—a vocabulary word, historical date, or question—while the other reveals the answer.
Students flip through stacks of flash cards to drill facts into memory: She made flash cards for her anatomy exam.
