Don’t fool yourself into thinking a suboptimal SRS is going to be optimal at the motivational aspect. If a user needs a self-confidence boost during a flash card session, this should be a design choice, not due to poor performance of the core SRS algorithm.
Choose your SRS algorithm to best predict what a user knows and when they’re likely to forget it.
If your application decides that it wants to throw some softballs, that’s an application level decision. If you care about psychology and motivation, build a really good algorithm for that. Then blend SRS with motivation as desired.
