> The process is all about knowing what is possible and drawing paths through the graph of possibilities. The details aren't relevant until the implementation stage when you'd be accessing reference materials anyway.
Well put. But in that case, couldn’t you utilize SRS to memorizing high level concepts (e.g., coarse characteristics of various algorithms as opposed to how they are actually implemented, etc)
Probably, but that's really only helpful if you need that piece of information regularly. In the way that I work, it's not necessary. If a particular problem domain pops up frequently enough that I'd need to drill on it, the act of working the problem provides the repetition.
In general, I don't find techniques like this helpful. My brain is just really good at holding the overall concept of what I read. Once I've digested the information, the abstract is logged in the database forever. But that's just the autistic nature of my brain, I think.
