What is cloze deletion?

A cloze deletion is a fill-in-the-gap exercise or flashcard where a word is removed from a sentence for you to recall.

The cloze procedure was introduced by Wilson Taylor in 1953 for measuring readability. Learners use cloze cards in Anki to practise vocabulary and grammar in context. Cloze tests also appear in many language exams.

Examples

I ___ (去) to Taipei yesterday; 我昨天___台北了 (去 qù); Anki cloze: {{c1::食べ}}ました

Kungfucius says: A sentence with a hole in it, and your memory is the plaster.
