Your activity, and why a figure is withheld — video guide

The activity room, the six findings the Lab will raise, the five optional cognitive tasks — and why one chart works while the next says "not enough yet".

  1. Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor. Let’s read a Learning Lab profile measure by measure, on a demonstration account.
  2. Recognising a word and producing it are separate skills. Here, recognising is twenty points ahead, and the Lab says what closes the gap: speaking and writing, not more reading.
  3. Your forgetting curve comes from flashcard reviews at real intervals: what you still recall after a day, a week and a month. It’s your own curve, not a textbook average.
  4. Every so often, lesson practice asks how sure you are before you answer. Set against the result, it shows whether your confidence can be trusted. Here, it tracks closely.
  5. Task engagement stability follows your accuracy through a sitting. Here it slips after about twenty minutes, so a short break there is likely to help more than pushing on.
  6. And your mistakes, grouped by what they have in common. The largest share here are words not yet familiar, then tones three and four: specific things to practise, not a general weakness.
  7. Select Activity to see when you actually study, hour by hour. This learner works most often around nine in the evening.
  8. The replay plays back every page you studied, in the order you did it, sitting by sitting.
  9. And the race to threshold: a facet crosses with eight answers and four in five of them right. Two have crossed so far; the other five have not yet.
  10. Jason can talk you through these figures. He sees the figures on this page and nothing else, and asking him a question uses AI credits.
  11. That’s your Lab, measure by measure: what your practice shows, and when you tend to practise. Open yours and see what it says.
