No. The minimum information principles concerns the representation of knowledge in SuperMemo databases, not in the student’s memory, and it does not prevent great advantages coming from proper structuring of the learned material. In the optimum situation, the student should first construct a cohesive model of the learned subject, and only then, apply SuperMemo to make sure that the learned knowledge is sustained in memory as a whole. The knowledge may be highly associative, but strictly targeted neural stimulation, achieved by means of granular representation of knowledge in SuperMemo, is necessary to effectively induce molecular processes responsible for memory formation. Indeed SuperMemo has been conceived in such a was so as to make it easier to formulate knowledge in a structured way (topics) and later learn it in a way typical for SuperMemo (items).
