Planned redundancy

A thing I do when learning new things is to invent multiple questions (or cloze deletions) about the same concept. This increases the probability of recall in any given (real life) situation. By “attacking” the same concept from different angles, I increase the amount of cues (synaptic pattern extractions) leading to the activation of the same concept i.e. retrieval strength (the other component is storage strength). Dr. Piotr Woźniak calls this “planned redundancy”.
