I think that flashcards are a great way of testing how well you know a subject but this is a very simple app that might not be particularly well suited to more serious students of neuroscience or whatever you happen to be studying.
Remember the Facts of Human Memory
Making a decent addition to the Medical category of the App Store is this educational resource that will help you to learn about the basics of human memory, presented in a simple flashcard format so that you can test your memory.
Best iphone and ipad apps
Within this app you’ll find over 100 flashcards to help you review fundamental terms associated with human memory, and you can add your most frequently used cards to your Faves Deck for quick and easy future reference. This is useful for terms that you aren’t quite confident with.

Search for the Terms You Need
Memory Primer (Free!) also allows you to shuffle the order of your cards to make for a more randomized challenge, and the cards you’ve mastered can be added to an ignore list so that they no longer come up.
What’s more, the built-in search facility means that you can easily find the flashcards you’re looking for if you’re trying to focus on a few specific terms in a single session.
