what if you are studying a heavy infomation topic (such as psychology) where a fact a card is going to take way too much space

This is really helpful! I have another tip if anyone's interested! It's to incorporate writing with flashcard studying. I like to use a white board and write out what I think the answer is before I flip the card. It helps me a lot because A) I can't lie to myself about what I said (I tend to say "oh, yeah, I pretty much said the right answer" when it's untrue) B) I have to stay more awake and alert in order to write things down, so I don't zone out as often C) writing things down (especially repeatedly) has been shown to improve memory Just figured I'd share! Thanks a ton for your videos!

Great tip! Using a whiteboard is a fantastic idea.

I remember back in high school when I would literally put all my biology curriculum into Anki, made tons of cloze cards and studied them individually. I remember spending hours and hours reviewing facts and memorizing the entire biology book--- without studying them or understanding first. I was hard working--- but in the wrong way. I remember having to review over 1000 cards just for biology, not to mention other subjects as well. Then finals came and I screwed up. Hard work in a wrong way didn't and wouldn't pay off. I could recall all the facts but could never see the connections and the underlying concepts. I screwed up so bad that those times were one of my darkest time. Now I know better, a lot better. I wish I could have watched this video a few years earlier but hey... life goes on and I am a much more effective student now:) Guys don't make the mistake I made. Flashcards is a tool for you to review AFTER STUDYING.

I'm a High School chemistry teacher and I've been showing this video (as well as your spaced learning one) to many of my classes. Hope you don't mind. The tip about recall Vs Recognition is an important tip. Keep up the great videos Tom.

The quality of this video is RIDICULOUSLY amazing. Great job Thomas, I look forward to the next one.

Thanks for sharing your awesomely condensed study tips! I really enjoyed this weeks video, and I'm already looking forward to the next!

I watched this video a long time ago and just re-watched it. I graduated already, but want to use this to help remember things from books I've read. I recommend Ronnie White's videos on memory as well. He's a memory champion and was able to memorize decks of cards. His tips help with remembering facts, names, and lists. Happy New Year!

This video really was awesome! I can tell a lot of work went into it. This is why I love watching you.

I really like how you pointed out the difference between recognition and recalling with regards to flashcards. I had a very vague idea of it, which is why I tend to be obsessive about studying flashcards, but this really helped me understand it better.

Thanks pal, you helped a Brazilian business/french student. I'm really busy and i have tried new methods to learn and your channel is full of proper information and different ways to be right on the head. Moe a time thanks.

Flash cards are amazing for Anatomy! I recently started using white flash cards with colorful markers and I group similar topics into the same color. It helps me not just memorize but understand that it's a building concept. I also like to place the cards on the floor or a big flat surface and align them in order of occurring events. Anyways thank you so much for your videos they've really help me with becoming an A student in college!

Oh my God, what perfection is this?! I was LITERALLY just researching about flashcards and the best way to study effectively with them and then THIS. THANK YOU TIMES FOREVER :D

The advice you gave about incorporating pictures to help with memorization has been a winner! I started using that method towards teaching my youngest son his Latin vocab words. He's remembering them a lot quicker now and finds my crazy drawings rather entertaining. Win!!

So apparently I've been making bad flash cards for years lol. I appreciate the insight on putting too much information into one card. When I would study disease processes I would run into that problem of having to recall too many things from one card.

@KiaZiShiru

I've found that for some things, like studying Japanese, I need multiple layers of information (for kanji I need the kanji, the pronunciation and the translation) and I've found that using digital cards (I use Anki) really helps with keeping the information as easy to study as possible. This means that you can basically use a multi-sided card instead of just two-sided. In my case: kanji - pronunciation - translation you can then study: kanji - pronunciation kanji - translation translation - pronunciation translation - kanji pronunciation - kanji pronunciation - translation Of course, you can make any combination of these (I only use the first four ways, as the last 2 can be really confusing). But this you can also apply to other topics. Is the information you have really all needed at the same time? Or do you need to study different parts of it separately? Basically, what Thomas said about 1 card -> 1 item. Split your information in useful one on one items.

Extemely professionally done (noticeably awesome editing - stunning graphics and visuals, and I did indeed notice the clarity/lack of glare in the whiteboard shots - the custom-made rig paid off!), with the perfect amount of the characteristic 'Tom-humour' weaved into the very well-put information.

Thomas, your hardwork was worth it. Actually, I was about to comment on the great audio/visual clarity and editing when I saw your post about putting 20 hours into it. On top of that, I've been looking for a good video about flashcards and this is the best one I've found. Subscribed. Keep up the great work!

Thomas,I get the concept and it sounds great for small items as mentioned. How do you handle Run on definitions with multiple parts? Example: COMSEC equipment Equipment designed to provide security to telecommunications by converting information to a form unintelligible to an unauthorized interceptor and, subsequently, by reconverting such information to its original form for authorized recipients; also, equipment designed specifically to aid in, or as an essential element of, the conversion process. COMSEC equipment includes crypto-equipment, crypto-ancillary equipment, crypto-production equipment, and authentication equipment.

Chemistry. “The elements of good flash cards.” Genius.

Thanks Thomas! Gonna try this. Video is 10 over 10.

Glad you liked it! So I've gotta geek out here for a second. The Dumont/Wright debate can get complicated quickly, but the Wrights did achieve powered, human-carrying, heavier-than-air flight three years before Dumont. A lot of people say Dumont was first, though, because the Wrights used a launching track on their recorded early flights whereas Dumont's plane had wheels. That being said, I didn't even know about Dumont until someone else left a similar comment on this video, and I wish I had learned about him in school. Some more interesting info here: www.quora.com/It-is-commonly-claimed-that-the-Wright-brothers-invented-aircraft-however-it-has-also-been-claimed-that-Santos-Dumont-did-Who-invented-the-first-aircraft/answer/Matt-Conway-3 I think it can be misleading to get hung up on who was "first" to do or invent things in many cases. Part of why science is so interesting is how so many people end up independently discovering things around the same time - it shows that we collectively move forward as a society through communication. Additionally, each person who discovers something utilizes the contributions of others, and in many cases the "original inventor" is someone who simply found the right combination of factors that other people had done far, far more work to hone and perfect. It's really easy to fiddle with where the goal posts are for defining an achievement ("airplane" has been defined as first flight, first powered flight, and first powered controllable flight), which results in not enough recognition being given to many of the people who helped bring something into the world.

Makes so much sense why I was not retaining the information on my overwhelming (every corner had info!!) flashcards. Thanks for all you do!!!

(don't mind my grammar)i have prepared using flash cards.absolutely brilliant technique for revisions(reduced my revision time by upto 90% as exams neared.i learnt one thing about using them.please tell me if any of you guys are using it the same way too.i study one chapter and then learn it , then revisit the chapter, let's say 1 day later and there will be things that i will not be able to recall.i'll focus on these things(along again revising the rest of the chapter) and learn them properly again.after about 3 days, i'll pick up the chapter again and there will still be things i won't be able to recall.now, only for these things i'll make flash cards. i have seen that if i only revise these flash cards properly let's say twice more, then in future revisions(of the whole chapter) i am able to recall everything inside the chapter.so i end up reducing the number of flashcards i make by about 90% and use this tool for placing missing bricks in a wall rather than for making the wall itself.
