ABSTRACT:
A teaching device useful for reinforcing learning and presenting new information to an operator which is adapted for use with cards having related information on both sides of each card such as a question on one face and the answer on the reverse face, and includes an enclosed frame with an inlet opening for receiving the card obverse face up and an outlet opening for delivering the same card reverse face up with a stationary guide means for selectively moving the card from the inlet opening to the outlet opening while reversing the face of the card shown to the operator. A modification of the preferred embodiment described above includes by way of example a receptacle disposed at the outlet opening for receiving the exiting card from the outlet opening and stacking the cards on a deck of other like cards; this receptacle can include a movable cover to prevent reading of the reverse side of the exited card until the operator is ready. Further modifications can include distinctive matching marks on the inlet opening and the obverse face of the card to alert the operator to the proper side up position for inserting the card into the teaching device, and shaping the enclosed frame to appear to have a human shape or personality for operator comfort.
