0:31 Avoid Common Mistakes: Avoid highlighting and rereading as primary study methods. These techniques create a familiarity with the material, giving the illusion of learning, but they don't promote deep understanding. 1:30 Retrieval Practice: Testing isn't just for assessment; it's a powerful learning strategy. Instead of rereading a text, test yourself on it. The act of trying to retrieve information strengthens memory. This method is even more effective when the difficulty increases, a phenomenon referred to as "desirable difficulty." 3:53 Spaced Practice: Instead of cramming, space out your learning sessions over time. This "spacing effect" leads to better long-term retention. The longer you want to remember something, the greater the spacing interval should be. 5:52 Interleaving: Mix up the topics you're studying instead of focusing intensively on one topic at a time. This approach, though counterintuitive, has been shown to be highly effective in various studies. 8:14 Elaborative Interrogation: As you study, ask yourself "how" and "why" questions to integrate new knowledge into your existing understanding.

The vast majority of people can be A students, for sure. It's about the amount of work and dedication you're willing to put into any given subject.

While some people have a bit more natural affinity for certain subjects, that does not mean that others can't achieve great grades.

Just to add for anyone reading: spaced repetition is effective because memory consolidation and the formation of new neural connections take time. Once these connections are formed, revisiting the material allows you to add to your existing 'knowledge database'. Moreover, the act of retrieving this information during review sessions strengthens the memories further. This strengthening process doesn't occur with short-term cramming since nothing has been firmly established yet. I hope this is somewhat clear - and by the way, great video! :D

Your question appears to assume it's okay to be inaccurate as long as the explanation seems to explain something as well as the true explanation does. Here, there seem to be two different processes involved: lengthening the period of retention of information (storage) and improving the speed of retrieval. If it's possible to study and affect each of these separately, then surely it makes sense to distinguish between them instead of lumping them together as though they're just one effect? It's generally recognized that there are three distinct core processes of memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval.

Recitation is real and also great for your overall memory and listening skills. I had a teacher who told me instead of re-reading what you forgot. Re-write the chapter in your own words from what you remember and add improvements where you can. It takes a lot of time but is insanely effective at boosting your memory in general and improves other skills across the board like: vocabulary, writing and linking knowledge from different subjects.

"SIDE NOTES" is the introductory note taking strategy I use with ALL my reading students. They are required to read & annotate (summarize in 2-5 words) 1 PARAGRAPH @ a time as they read a passage. The "note" is written in 15 sec or less in the margin. This helps process bits of info quickly, and reduces the 'NEED to RE-READ' an entire paragraph to answer questions & SHORTENS time to LOCATE WHERE the answer is.(Proof) PLUS the "Side Note" 2-5 words triggers details.

Excellent review of effective learning. There’s one more technique I’ve found that helps me, which is to read things backwards. Like papers, or sometimes even books, I start at the end, read the last section or chapter first, see what the conclusion is, then work backwards to see how they arrived at that conclusion. Reading out of order stimulates a more active learning process where I’m actively structuring the material in my mind since the texts is no longer doing that for me. That helps with recall and internalization.

My mother is a teacher and she gave me some quality tips for learning in school... even if you have to do it from a book. You touched on a few of them, such as practicing recall WHILE you study. Some other ones though: 1. Most text books, you read a section and then at the end of the section, you have a review, right? Don't do it. Waste of time. (I know... your teachers will make you... whatever...) The better way to do this is to have 2 book marks, one of them is for the current chapter, and the other is for the review material. Do the review material about a week after you studied the content. When your teacher tells you to go through the review section, go through the review section that's a few lessons back instead. 2. Note-taking. Note-taking is done CATESTROPHICALLY wrong in schools. They write down the notes, and then you write down the notes in your notebook. Instead of listening to the lecture, you're now reading and writing, rendering yourself unable to pay attention. The notes aren't even yours, so they don't hold any of the benefits of real note-writing (note-writing is a form of immediate recall, and notes that you THOUGHT UP are not only more effective for remembering what you learned) they are also more useful for if you do need to refresh. Since you personally wrote you notes, if you actually need to LOOK UP something in your notes, it will be easier to recall its location within your notes. Your notes should be your own personal reference book... it should be easier to find things in your notes than it is to even find answers in the textbook since it's shorter, AND you have a processing relationship with your notes that you don't have with the textbook which you merely read. When you copy notes provided by a teacher, you are not only robbing yourself of the lecture, but you are doing it for notes that aren't even your own and won't help you in the way that real notes do. 3. A twist on note-taking Sometimes its hard to write your own notes. You don't know what's going to be presented, therefore you certainly don't know in advance how to organize your notes until you've already made errors. That's fine... notes are a messy process and that's aok. BUT... a little trick that you can use... instead of taking notes on what you are learning, you can take notes of what you expect to learn next or what you need to learn to better understand what you are learning. The fact is, most traditional notes... go in the garbage having never been reread. SOME waste is inevitable, but with that fact in mind, you should reduce your notes significantly, try to stay present in the lesson, and jot down only the notes that are useful to you and you alone. You aren't an author... you're a student... don't take notes for your friends. Take notes that YOU think you might reference later. If done right, this will reduce your load enough that you can do something far more productive... and start actually processing the lessons. Start asking yourself what you need to know, what is this leading to, what does this relate to, what do I wish I knew better, etc... Then, when you read through your notes, oh look at that... you've practically written yourself a review course. Just go through your questions to self, check off the questions that you DID end up learning the answer to in the lecture, research the ones you didn't, and if there are some questions that you conclude are beyond the scope of what you can study right now, note down a few things... "What would I need to know before I can study this more deeply?" "How/where would I find this knowledge?" "Will this put me in a better position to learn in this class?" "Am I going to take the proactive steps to answer this question, and if so, when and how?" Believe it or not, but learning what it is you don't know IS learning... even if you never learn that thing. Often times, simply knowing that there's something in the black box that you are never going to open saves you mental space, and prevents you from building faulty models that bite you later. You know what they say, "It's not the things that you don't know that get you... it's the things you 'know' but aren't so" 4. Download and learn how to use ANKI. Really... It's a flashcard scheduler, but you can schedule ANY note and turn them into a flashcard. The scheduler is the main feature. It's fantastic, infinitely customizeable, and it's free. It can be used for cramming, retention, learning, etc... 5. "Learning styles" are BS... kinda It's true that given the multiple choice of book-learning, auditory-learning, hands-on-learning, note-learning, etc... that you might enjoy one more than the rest... or you might respond better to one than the rest. This effect is exaggerated, but yes... different people respond differently to different types of learning. BUT... When it comes to the optimal strategy, you are NOT a unique little snowflake. The solution for you is the same as the solution to everyone else, and it is... Switch around. Do whatever learning method you enjoy... AND do the others as well... and distribute them somewhat evenly. Read the book mindfully for one section, take overly comprehensive notes for another section, do some active research for another section, focus on images for another section, look over the objectives and discuss a lesson with chat-gpt for another lesson, use flashcards... switch it up. Your knowledge base is interconnected, and if you learn things in different ways, that's multiple synaptic routes for recall, and it helps you to start to develop an overarching model in which you are better able to continue education later.

6:00 for interleaving, if there is a common thread between the interleaving items decided by the reader and not by a convener, I find it effective as the coral of knowledge grows around a common core and set of principles. I found this while reading about software development, observability and data analysis.

What I usually do when studying is summarizing what I'm learning while I read. If I am comfortable, even rewriting off the top of my head what I learnt on a paper. If I have a hard time doing that, checking again the source, but always rewriting it in my own words. I feel like that requires you to at least understand the most superficial concepts.

That's excellent. Summarizing is quite difficult

The moment I saw the title of that paper, I literally stopped the video, looked it up and started devouring it for a whole hour, than came back to watch your video to the end. This is some precious knowledge you're sharing. It's so amazing how cheap information is today, and how expensive it is to be ignorant of it.

Well, my phone is definitely listening. The title and appearance in my algorithm is enough proof for me. Great content!

I think when interleaving, especially on some cliffhanger, coming back to that other topic with the motivation of reciting all that information you learned really drills everything you learned into your memory.

I have used all four of these techniques together, from GCSE to Royal College Medical Exams. I didn’t know they had names, it just made sense to keep me engaged. Thoroughly recommend it. One final suggestion…explain the subject material to someone else. If you can do that, then you understand the subject well. I later found out this was a recommendation of Richard Feynman!

Another great learning method is to attend discussion groups. We might see it as a retrieval of sort. It also allows us to hear on the subject with other words and it provides context and "texture" to the subject. We don't study in a vacuum, and we study to navigate and taste the world better.

I bought "make it stick" because of another video on this channel, and now it's summarized very nicely. Thank you.

This is a brilliant video and I'll have to use these techniques to structure my studying. I've found that it helps to start by reading lesson objectives, questions, and the review material before I begin reading the text. Focusing on it lets me know what I need to focus on, and what I should be getting out of the session.

I clicked on the video because I'm curious, I didn't know your channel. Now I feel like I've found some kind of good wizard! Your content is absolutely fantastic, thank you very much for sharing so many useful things with excellent clarity in communication. Please never stop doing this!

Just love your channel and giving me all the right tools to help me learn data science thank you

Great video! When you mentioned how interleaved practice enhances memory, I immediately drew a parallel to the concept of shuffling training samples before training a machine learning model. There seems to be a clear similarity between interleaved practice and shuffling training data. The act of shuffling introduces diversity in an epoch, preventing overfitting to specific patterns and encouraging the model to focus more on generalized features. This, as you mentioned about humans distinguishing unseen paintings, aids the model in differentiating unseen data seems really interesting to me.

The best video I have seen thus far on learning and learning strategies. Short, simple and applicable immediately. Thank you, Python Programmer!

Recitation helps me memorize things - for example, I once spent 2 months learning the names of each country, along with its capital and flag and was able to reproduce this information over and over again. I could start from one end of the globe and go over each country, including microstates and Caribbean islands. What recitation never helps me with is actually understanding what I am learning. So, tl;dr - recitation is good for memorization but I haven't found anything that helps with true understanding except maybe trying to teach someone else. Memorization is good enough for most scenarios, though, so I guess I won't complain.

The interrogative (method #4) would be where the how/why learning portion would be most effective.

Here is the short summary; 1. Retrieval practice is the act of retrieving information from your memory, such as by testing yourself or summarizing what you have learned. This is more effective than rereading or highlighting because it forces you to think about the material and make connections between different ideas. 2. Spaced practice is the act of spreading out your study sessions over time, rather than cramming everything in at once. This is more effective than mass practice because it allows your brain to consolidate the information and make it more likely that you will remember it in the long term. 3. Interleaving is the act of switching between different topics or skills during your study session. This is more effective than focusing on one topic at a time because it helps you to see connections between different ideas and make them more meaningful. 4. Elaborative interrogation is the act of asking yourself questions about the material you are learning and trying to explain it in your own words. This is more effective than passively reading or listening because it forces you to think about the material in depth and make it your own.

Good video, with a clear representation of the research underlining these methods. Though you're sadly misrepresenting interleaving by simplifying it too much. As your examples from the research show, interleaving only works well if the different topics are closely related to each other, so mostly from within the same subject. So switching often between studying English, history and physics won't do you much good. It's hard to use interleaving as a student, but it is a valuable tool for us teachers to help plan our lessons and topics. And it is especially powerful in sports, as most of the research shows.

Excellent video and amazing editing! If you edit your own videos I think many of us would love a video on how you edit your videos :)

This is probably the best video that I have seen on KZread. I am going to suscribe to brilliant. Well, on second thought, I will, but Not through your link because it will make me subscribe whole year. I like to test things and see if the really useful to me.

Very helpful. Thanks.

I don’t think that’s quite what interleaving is 5:52 . I’ve taken “learning how to learn” the course that first put many of these methods together and interleaving is jumping around to different areas within the same subject. For example not just doing practice problems on multiplication, but division and square roots at the same time and all mixed together. Multitasking is actually pretty bad and many people have a “task switching” penalty.

It can be within a same subject but also multiple subjects mixed up. So like a test with random questions: math, then biology, then history, then math, then English, etc. That will produce better ultimate outcomes than testing math one day, biology the next, etc. But it will feel less productive the whole time - which is why no one does it

Highlighting is for later reference. I always highlight & I go back to those things later. I could never go w/o highlighting

Great Work! Your way of presenting information is Amazing. Well done.

Thank you so much ❤ for your amazing video

I've downloaded this video ❤ really brilliant 👌

Thank you!

Amazing! Thank you!

Thanks a lot friend 🙌

Everything I ever memorized was by spaced practice. I still remember a ten-word list that was presented as a memory challenge -- about 20 years ago. I know pi to about 34 digits in my sleep, but I'm close to 50 now. It seems to be getting easier rather than harder.

Thank you so much for this video.

I wish teachers would teach students how to learn. Thank you for this gift

This video is a gem. Thank you

Wow! I once highlighted stuff in a book and SWORE to myself that it was completely ineffective. And I had already heard and utilized spaced learning. Guess the only thing holding me back in studying -- was actually doing it!

Here are the most important points from the video: - Highlighting and re-reading can be counterproductive, as they can create a false sense of mastery and hinder true learning. • Retrieval practice is a powerful learning technique that helps you retain information better than re-reading or highlighting. • Spacing out your learning sessions over time, rather than doing them all at once, can improve your retention and transfer of knowledge to new domains. • Interleaving, or switching between different topics, can improve your learning outcomes and help you retain information better. • Elaborative interrogation, or asking questions about what you're learning, can help you build a deeper understanding of the material.

The visuals are spectacular. What tools were used to make them?

Everything you said is my natural way of studying. I assume that I'm kinda smart and a fastlearner but I'm too inconsistent when it comes to real work

Very clean and concise video.

The purpose of highlighting is not to 'learn' it's to find things more easily if you have to revise it years later. If you want to highlight for learning only highlight new words you don't understand in 1 colour pen e.g. blue and use a different colour pen to highlight for the future. When you're done with the text you can very easily go back and identify all the blue words you have to research more and by the time you finished reading the book you may already understand a few of them. But to be honest the BEST thing to do with a non-fiction book is have a pencil handy and gently strike out entire paragraphs or pages that YOU already know have a SOLID understanding of (strike out gently in case you lend the book to someone else who may not understand those things), then you never have to re-read them in the future. You will be surprised that eventually 70% of books is fluff or elementary content and you can only gain new knowledge from a small portion of it, this can also be a confidence booster that you know more than you realize.

this is a good idea, never heard it before.

really enjoyed this video

Nobody reads an Aero Engineering book and expects to learn a thing without prior knowledge. You need to know the group of subjects i would call MCS (Mathematical, Computational, Statistical) courses, i.e., from Precalculus to Single Variable Calculus to Linear Algebra to Multivariable Calculus to Differential Equations; then to Scientific Computing and Programming as well as Computational and Statistical Methods. In that order. Then somewhere in between those MCS courses, you have the EAS (Engineering and Applied Sciences) courses, i.e., General Physics, General Chemistry, Engineering Mechanics (Statics), Mechanics of Materials, Engineering Dynamics and Vibrations, Thermodynamics, and Fluid Mechanics. Additionally, you would need some Basic Electrical Engineering and Instrumentations as well as some Control Systems. Only then can you start being able to read and comprehend Aero Engineering major subjects such as Gas Dynamics, Dynamics of Flight, Turbomachineries, CFD, among others. It's not just something like History, Political Science, Social Science, or Law, that you only need to be able to read in the language used in the book to understand it.

I watched this video multiple times, everything about it is just perfect
