I note that you leave out recall.

You might want to do some research into "mnemotechnics". Also: Baddeley's model of working memory is quite interesting.

Alan Baddeley's popular book Your Memory: A User's Guide is a very useful resource. Because it shows the best understanding of how memory actually works as well as tips and tricks it lets you build further on those techniques. (I haven't seen the 2004 edition linked to. I read the first edition from 1983 and don't know what changes, if any, were made.)

Deliberate, as SRS incorporates active recall per definition, methinks.

For any materials learned through SRS, sure.
