    Studying for a post grad exam here. The problem has never been "unable to recall", it has always been the infinite depth and boundless curriculum, and because of that, the lower order questions are way harder than higher order questions

      Most of undergrad is remembering not understanding the coursework. The dilemma is that we aren’t rewarded for competency where reward on our ability to memorize the literature and perform on exams. So student will use flash cards as the main study aide when it should be a supplement because flash cards aren’t for conceptualizing the work it’s to memorize pieces of information.

    Nice video about learning.
    I have some details to add:
    1. FlashCards are a kind of powerlearning priorizing unknown content for extended iterations.
    2. FlashCards generating by hand is a first step for integration of knowledge if used correctly categorizing content according visual symbolism on all 6 sides of every card
    3. Beyond your nice description of concepts there is a technic using nearly complete anti-sequential learning ... but this needs a skill of "reverse learning" - means a teacher has to build these items as a complete picture deviding it into parts for each main category (you say "chunk") of learning and one for their integration ... its a symboling far beyond MindMaping ... quasi a meta-brain-forming (resulting from neuroplasticity). This technic is simultaniously top-down and bottom up and even sideways not letting isolated knowledge exist for long ...
    I hope transferred my thoughts not too abstract ...

    Thanks to anki i memorize all the names of countries and dependencies; and their capitals.
    1:50, With anki, you can memorize that list of the taxonomy and with brain and paper, you can comprehend that list. I think its important the two parts. Memorizing something helps a lot because it helps to have the terms in the tip of your tongue and being in your conscious mind for thinking about those terms or applying it to solving a problem.
    5:20, interesting because the method i use to memorize all the names of countries and stuff was with cloze overlapping,, which make a kind of relationship between them. I memorize countries by regions. When i try first by individualize basic cards, i couldn't remember them.

    Hi Archer
    I'm going to tell you how I use flashcards: I hope this will give you the frame to understand the questions I'd like to ask you.
    I've been creating flashcards, based on notes from lectures and mind maps. That way, I aim to create complex questions for interleaving, and questions for details.
    I am not sure about giving up on flashcards, because they helped me a lot in spacing and retrieving information. Plus, this brought me >28/30 ranks (with two 30 cum laude - I study medicine in Italy).
    Like a building collapses if you don't look after it, the same I fear could happen if I wouldn't periodically retrieve what I've been learning.
    Could you please tell me what you think about it?

    If I make a relational prioritized note taking to map all the connections between each concept and understand "the flow" of the topic, where am I going to put its explanations and justifications? I ask this because if I insert all the explanations of each concept that goes in the mind map, then it would become huge and massy. So my question is, where do I put the actual explanation of each concept? Do I put it in the mind map, even if that turns massy and too crowded of information, or do I put in flashcards as a question? How do I make the revisions, I simply reread the mind map, or I do this, by testing myself trying to recreate the mind map?

    I rarely do this but here I am contributing to the internet pool of spite
    I like the idea of matching your recall method to the question style of the exam, and I'm thankful for that part. I was really pissed off though that you had to undermine flashcards to get your point across. None of your points are valid. Of course flashcards aren't good for learning, they were never meant for that. Learning is 3 parts; encoding, retaining and recalling. Flashcards are meant for retaining information and they are perfect for it. You said so yourself that they are in essence spaced repetition and active recall. Don't compare between your recommendation (chunking) and flashcards, they were meant for different things. I'm a Justin sung fan so my expectations were high, but sadly maybe too high
    TLDR: flashcards are for retaining not encoding so don't judge a fish for not being able to climb a tree

    • @AhmedMostafa-hl9yl
      @AhmedMostafa-hl9yl Рік тому

      @@phanikatam4048 there are so much study methods BECAUSE there are so many parts for learning. Here is a simple breakdown and recommendation for each
      1) encoding or "getting the info in"
      The transfer is from source (book/lecture) to sink (you) through pathway (method). First, pick a great source like a lecturer you enjoy. Secondly, the sink needs to be healthy so think sleep, exercise and whatnot. As for the method, I recommend you look up chunking using blooms taxonomy (which was mentioned in this video)
      2) retaining or "keeping the info from going out"
      The number one reason for forgetting is learning new stuff. Your brain overrides the old stuff. That's where spaced repetition comes in. By dropping a friendly reminder every once in a while to your brain that "hey, this info is important, okay?", you can prevent your brain from forgetting it. My recommendation for this is flashcards which combines spaced repetition with active recall
      Now, till here is the actual learning part, the next part is solving/retrieving the info
      3) retrieval or "using the info"
      Information in our brain is like dull black boxes which have tags or "hooks" to help us retrieve them. Think about the time when you couldn't remember someone but you suddenly got it after looking at a random but related object. The more hooks the info has, the easier it is to retrieve. For this, I recommend using tables or comparisons which helps your brain figure out what makes each info unique or special
      There are still multiple different areas like revision (relearning) or exam technique or a bunch of other stuff but I got stuff to do and this is getting too long. Hope this helps

      Hey @heinrichvankradenburg7569, when it comes to using higher-order learning and you claim marks are decreasing, it's important for you to reflect.
      1. Are you truly doing higher order learning and engaging in the correct processes? Most of the times especially if you're new to higher-order learning, you won't be doing it entirely correctly.
      2. Are you still doing the relevant revision you need for your exams? Sometimes students forget about all of the lower order learning they still need to do, therefore lose marks when it requires lower order retrieval.
      I would recommend you to join our Discord community so you can further explore your process and what you can improve.

    I'm not sure I quite agree.
    Yes, flashcards take a *long* time to make. I've made over 12,000 of them 😂.
    But just by memorising around 100 of these cards for a single test, I got 100% - compared to around 80% without.
    Flashcards are amazing, but people are too lazy to use them properly and simply do them when they can be bothered to - not every day.
    Flsshcards are AMAZING for memorising things. Of course they don't help you as much to understand stuff, but that's not what revision is for. Revision is for memorising and practising, school is for learning and understanding.
    And if you don't understand something... Just watch a video or read some notes about it. Nobody's saying you are only allowed to use flashcards.

    What I do is. I make Anki cards, some more narrow and some more concept like, so that I learn the connection and details for every topic. And for every whole seminar/lecture I create one grinde Map and repeat those also through the flashcard system, so I don't need to remember how well I know every map.
    Also for the concept cards/ mind maps I always write down my answer (non linear).
    Probably this is a an overkill but until now it worked. I think only grinde maps wouldn't work since the biggest part is just remembering for my tests

    The problema is having thousands of flash cards, not the flash cards. I mean, you are supposed to do a few flash cards of every topic, and use them to connect big concepts. Its just a way to review for your exams and give you confidence about some topics that you know you use to forget. Of course if you make tones of flashcards, its going to be a waist of time, but It happens with every tip or study sistem.
