This page collects work related to Vocora. Each item remains in its canonical section according to its content type. Inclusion here means that the item informs the project; it does not mean that it is a peer-reviewed publication or that a product-specific effect has been established.
Research and Design Notes
What Should Vocora Measure as Learning? — Separates practice activity, current performance, and longer-term retention, and defines what Vocora should and should not call learning.
Retrieval Practice in Vocora — Reviews what retrieval practice can support, what it does not prove, and how the mechanism is currently used in Vocora.
Spaced Practice and the Leitner System — Distinguishes the general spacing effect from the practical but not yet optimized schedule used by Vocora.
Ethical Gamification in Vocora — Defines autonomy, motivation, privacy, and evidence guardrails for goals, streaks, progress feedback, and sharing.
قانون هب و شکلگیری تداعیها — A cautious conceptual note on Hebbian learning, association, and the limits of using one neural principle to explain emotion or behavior.
Translations and Source Material
- مغز چگونه الگوهای زبان را دنبال میکند — A Persian translation and adaptation of a general introduction to statistical learning and language-pattern detection.

Publication Standard
Future Vocora entries should identify their type and status clearly. Useful labels include:
- Working Research Note
- Literature Review
- Design Note
- Experiment Protocol
- Experiment Report
- Translation or Adaptation
The term paper should be reserved for work that is prepared and presented as a formal paper, and peer reviewed should only be used when that process has actually occurred.
