    Active recall can be applied by methods of memorization such as mind maps, index card categorization, among other techniques. Active recall is the most time efficient and mentally draining way of learning currently known. But it can lead to great fundamental learning, which can be helpful for grasping advanced knowledge “better”.

    Great concept, the active recall.. the I struggled with it pile makes sense. I think identifying the items we struggle with then setting aside, makes more sense than stressing over those items at the moment. Focusing on the positive or what you have mastered makes more sense. Then going back to master ones you need to take more time on. Sounds like a great learning system.. Thanks for sharing

    One key reason underlining, margin notes, and highlighting don't work for really learning material is that every time you look at the text you highlighted, you think "Yeah I remember that." But you don't really _remember_ it, you just _recognize_ it. Big difference! Flashcards and other ways of simulating taking a pop quiz on the material force you to actually recall what the answer is, instead of just recognizing the information when you see it. That's why active recall works so well. Repeated exposure to the material plus having to actively recall it is a powerful combination, and if you can apply it, that's even better. (Don't just read about how to cut a dovetail joint, do it. Don't just memorize a Python syntax, write a short program that uses it...) Regarding physical flashcards: If you cut 3x5 index cards in half, you get 2.5x3 inch cards (about the size of standard poker cards) They're big enough for most flashcard Q&A and they fit in your pocket easily.

    Fantastic insight guys. Absolutely spot on, active recall is indeed the bane and critical point that cements information into long term gain. Harder done than first meets the eye. Once we get students to understand this and work towards this process, its an exciting step into unlocking human potential. Keep spreading the good message. May Allah accept your good deeds. Peace.

    When you gain a deeper understanding of the neuroscience behind emotions and behaviors, it's like lifting the veil on the mechanisms that drive human experience. Suddenly, the simple joys of day-to-day life may seem less spontaneous and more deterministic, as I realize how various neural pathways and chemical processes influence your thoughts and feelings. This newfound awareness sometimes dampen the excitement of mundane tasks, as I become more attuned to the underlying neural patterns at play. It's akin to seeing the gears and cogs behind the scenes of a once-magical performance-it doesn't necessarily diminish the beauty of the show, but it does alter the perception of it. So what are your thoughts on that can you explain in a video please 😊

    Information. It is neat to learn about things, and in my time alive I have learned a great many academic things. But learning such things has not brought me any happiness, quite the opposite actually as learning new things I find to be a painful and tedious process overall, and I actually think the less someone knows about the universe the better life experience they can live. For example I think Indians probably lived the most true or ideal lifestyle, hunting and gathering, having sex with a wife every night, raising kids, going to war with neighboring clans, passing down information in the form of stories and legends, everything like the wind and rain is magic and was due to divine intervention etc.
