While this method is generally assumed to be quite effective, following it requires a significant time investment up-front that only few students are able or willing to make.

What results is chain of overlapping associations between each sequence node that can potentially improve the storage and retrieval strength of the entire sequence. For an array of three list items A, B, C you would end up with three cards of the form A → B, B → C, and C → D. One of the common recommendations in cases like this has always been to create overlapping flashcards, where each card's answer serves as the question prompt for next card in line. Normally you would employ methods like grouping or categorizing to consolidate information, but with each item building upon the next, that does usually not work for sequences or enumerations. Sequential information has unfortunately always somewhat eluded that basic principle because it is hard to break down into smaller chunks. Good flashcards follow the minimum information principle, where each card is kept as short as possible. Memorizing lists and enumerations has always been a particularly difficult part of studying flashcards. A test version for Anki 2.1 is available on my Patreon page. The version on AnkiWeb only works with Anki 2.0 now. Facilitates memorizing enumerations, lists, or any other type of sequential information by breaking the sequence up into cards where each item serves as the context cue for the next:
