RETRIEVAL PRACTICE · IN AUGMENTED REALITY

Don’t watch.
Retrieve.

Look at the object, say the Thai word from memory, then reveal and score your answer. AR only appears after the attempt—then it turns a useful verb into something you do.

THE OBJECT FIVE

One noun becomes one test

Pick a card, retrieve its Thai name, score yourself, then complete the meaning-matched gesture.

THE LEARNING LOOP

AR has four jobs now.

The animation is no longer the lesson. The lesson is effortful recall, immediate feedback, a congruent action, and a return date based on your answer.

01

Attempt before reveal

The printed card shows the object but hides Thai, phonetics, and English. You must produce the word before feedback appears.

02

Score the retrieval

“Not yet” returns the card soon; “Got it” expands the interval. Progress is stored locally on this device.

03

Make meaning physical

Swipe to pour, peel, open, or throw; tap to jump. The gesture matches the phrase instead of triggering arbitrary decoration.

What the evidence says

Testing memory improves delayed retention, spacing beats massing, and AR is most useful when it connects language to a real object or meaningful action—not when it merely adds spectacle.

READY TO PRACTICE

Five cards.
No answers printed.

Open a card on a second screen or print it. The image is the cue; pronunciation, feedback, interaction, and review timing live in AR.

THE RULE INSIDE EVERY CARD

Effort first. Feedback second.

1See the cue→2Say the answer→3Check & score→4Return when due

If the answer is already visible, you are reviewing—not retrieving. The new card design keeps those two moments separate.
