If specified, the processor 12 transmits the determination request data to the server 30. The judgment request data includes the following information.
・ Memory item ID
-Information about the options specified by the input field object F112a-The time from when the screen P112a is displayed until the options are specified by the input field object F112a (hereinafter referred to as "response time required").

When the screen P112d or the screen P112e (FIG. 14) is displayed in step S112,
When the user inputs text to the input field object F112d and specifies the button object B112, the processor 12 inputs the determination request data to the server 30.
Send to. The judgment request data includes the following information.
・ Memory item ID
-Text entered in the input field object F112d-Time required for answer

After step S113, the server 30 executes the determination (S314).
Specifically, the processor 32 refers to the stored item information database (FIG. 3).
Specify the information in the "correct answer" field associated with the stored item ID included in the determination request data. That is, the processor 32 specifies the correct answer for each storage item.
The processor 32 determines whether or not the information regarding the options included in the determination request data (that is, the user's answer) matches the correct answer for each storage item ID included in the determination request data.
If the user's answer matches the correct answer, the processor 32 determines that the answer is "correct". on the other hand,
If the user's answer does not match the correct answer, the processor 32 determines that the answer is "incorrect".

After step S314, the server 30 performs a retention score calculation (S315).
FIG. 15 is a flowchart for calculating the retention score of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 15, when the processor 32 determines “correct answer” in step S314 (S3150-YES), the processor 32 calculates the fixation score SS using Equation 1 (S3151).
SS = T × K × 1 ... (Equation 1)
-K is the upper limit of the range of the fixation score determined according to the storage category.
・ T is a coefficient determined according to the time required for answering.

When the processor 32 determines that the answer is "incorrect" in step S314 (S3150-NO).
), It is determined whether or not the first character is correct (S3152).

If the first character is correct (S3152-YES), the processor 32 calculates the fixation score SS using Equation 2 (S3153).
SS = T × K × 0.5 ... (Equation 2)

If the first character is incorrect (S3152-NO), the processor 32 calculates the fixation score SS using Equation 3 (S3154).
SS = T × N × J ... (Equation 3)
-J is the lower limit of the range of the fixation score determined according to the storage category.
-N is a coefficient determined according to the correct number of characters in the user's answer.

The upper limit value K and the lower limit value J increase in the order of short-term memory (ST), medium-term memory (IM), and long-term memory (LM).

As described above, in step S315, the processor 32 calculates the fixation score SS in consideration of whether the answer is correct or incorrect, and the difference between the answer and the correct answer when the answer is incorrect.

After step S315, the server 30 executes the oblivion score calculation (S316).
Specifically, the processor 32 generates the function f'(SS) by differentiating the function f (SS) of the fixation score SS arranged in time series.
The processor 32 generates a set function g (ss) of a negative value (that is, a portion where the fixation score SS is lowered) in the function f'(SS).
The processor 32 generates an approximate function h (SS) by applying an arbitrary approximate expression to the set function g (ss). The latest value of the approximation function h (SS) is calculated as the forgetting score.

After step S316, the server 30 executes a database update (S317).
Specifically, the processor 32 adds the following information to the "answer history" field of the storage status information database (FIG. 4).
-Information indicating the execution date of the process of FIG. 10 is added to the "date" field.
-The determination result of step S314 is added to the "determination" field. For example, if the user's answer matches the correct answer, "C" is added. If the user's answer does not match the correct answer, an "F" is added.
-User condition information included in the test request data is added to the "User condition" field.
-The fixation score calculated in step S315 is stored in the "fixing score" field.
-The forgetting score calculated in step S316 is stored in the "forgetting score" field.

In step S311, a plurality of test targets were selected (that is, storage item I).
If D is specified), steps S112 to S317 are performed for all test targets.
