I think this got derailed because gwern is trying to distinguish between the spacing effect the testing effect, and Supermemo/Anki. See gwern’s literature review for clarification. In a domain where what counts as ‘testing’ isn’t clear, perhaps basketball, then you might just try to used spaced repetition, which is what gwern is suggesting I think.
Space and testing effects are different, but work well together, and Anki/Supermemo are software that try to take advantage of these effects.
