flashcard

Two-sided memorizer

A flashcard is a card used for memorization and study, typically with a question, term, or prompt on one side and the answer or definition on the other.

Students flip through flashcards to test themselves, and the format has migrated from physical index cards to digital apps.

I made flashcards to study for my biology exam.

The spaced repetition method, which schedules review of flashcards at optimal intervals, has made them central to language learning.
