...there is hardly any mention about memorization on either LessWrong or EA Forum.
I’m curious how you came to believe this. IIRC, I first learned about spaced repetition from these forums over a decade ago and hovering over the Memory and Mnemonics and Spaced Repetition tags on this very post shows 13 and 67 other posts on those topics, respectively. In addition, searching for “Anki” specifically is currently returning ~800+ comments.
My apologies, when I started on the post I searched for the word “memorization”, and there were not many results. I forgot to change the statement when I realised there were more posts than I first thought.
Although, I still think there is too little discussion about memorization, perhaps with the exception of spaced repetition.

Thank you for pointing out the error.
