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.
All of the methodologies mentioned in this video are topics explained in the book make it stick.
Thank you
Thanks man!
Problem is despite knowing all these techniques for years I still end up having to cram for exams, I think it's an executive function issue
@@TeaRex It is because instead of studying people watch videos how to study over and over again.
being an A student doesn't mean you are smart, it means you can pass test and get good grades, being smart is something different.
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. There are so many kids who've been told they're "underachievers" or "slow learners" or, my least favorite, "just bad at math." While some people have a bit more natural affinity for certain subjects, that does not mean that others can't achieve great grades.
Most of the a student are above average tho
True, there are and always will be people who never get good grades in class, but in life progress much more than toppers.
@@crazycat9003Were you one of those students with low grades during your school days? Just asking for a friend.
You must've been a C level student. Your comment seems to convey a hint of jealousy.
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
Agreed❤
I'm not sure that retrieving the information "strengthens the memories further": it more likely shortens or otherwise augments the path to that information so it is easier to retrieve it in future; i.e., it strengthens the retrieval mechanism rather than the memory.
@@wbrehautwhat is the difference?
@@smoothbanana The first obvious difference is in the accuracy of the explanation. 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.
@@wbrehaut you wrote "It's generally recognized that there are three distinct core processes of memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval."
Which means memory = encoding, storage and retrieval
you previously wrote " it strengthens the retrieval mechanism rather than the memory"|
Which means memory =/= retrieval
Method 1: Do not just read, try to test yourself with what you just read
Method 2: Do space learning. If you want to remember something, try to space time between your learning time slots
Method 3: Tackle several topics at the same time
Method 4: Be curious and ask yourself questions
IMO writing a Summary of a Particular Text/Concept after a certain period of time reading, can be a manifestation of Method 1...
Good--except you should eliminate the "try to": As Yoda says, "Do, or do not. There is no try."
@@wbrehauthelpful you are. Mmmm?
That’s also known as rereading. Just by another name. Read it over and over again until you know it, can summarize it and can teach it.
Four tips. No fancy rhetoric or bouncy music. Thank you!
This channel is criminally underrated. Amazing video editing that inspires me to learn and be better.
Inspiration is 1%, perspiration is 99%. Isolation and avoid toxicity helps with science.
Agreed! Maybe has to do with the fact that it might be easier to search this fella is his name wasn't so generic.
I do not think it is illegaly underrated. Is there such a legal framework for quality UA-cam channels?
Bro do you know Rap ID

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.
Hey! Thank you so much for sharing this!! I just wanted you to know that this helped me and I'm going to start doing this from now on🙏💜 have a good day!!
@@purple_promise You're welcome. Was really cute to hear that it helped. In the long run it will make you a more creative writer and thinker. Good luck on your journey. ^.^
I also find that it automatically improves your reading comprehension so you don't have to do recitation in future books because your overall memory is just better by then.
"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.
That technique depends on text book that has continuous red thread . This doesn't work to Text book that have isolated chapters
That can make it more confusing, like listening to a song backwards.
I would love to combine the Read & Recall/Restate with the Work Backwards with my 6th grade math class! It's worked wonders when I teach Reading/Comprehension skills. Our problem lies in the district PACING guide that gives us 1-2 days tops to teach students a new skill & eval. their retention. 😢. They are then tested on day 12 or 13 for all 6-8 new skills learned over 2 weeks. 😳
@@frv6610 Not really: listening to a song backward has nothing to do with reasoning about how the song was developed and what the composer was aiming to achieve and thinking about how you might try to achieve that yourself.
And "backward reading" may not be recommended for all learning styles. Though not all aspects of the Myers-Briggs personality type framework are now universally agreed to, there seems little doubt that there are quite different learning styles and that the most efficient and effective techniques appropriate for one style may not be the most effective or efficient for others.
@@viljaminieminen6925
You'd treat each chapter separately - Go to the end of the chapter look at the conclusion etc.
His method appears to be a variation on the method where you 1st skim -you look at the table of contents, the headers, the conclusion, etc. and then go into the detail.
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.
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.
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!
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.
instead of writing all of this would've sufficed to just write "justin sung" instead but it's a good basic summary
while learning trying to apply all this suggestions is time taken and overwhelmming me
What did you say again?
@@frv6610 he/she might forgot . Learning is always complex ...,only hardwork helps
@@phanikatam4048
In a way, that is true. A good general rule is, if your brain is going, "Wow, this is easy" you probably aren't learning much.
It isn't always the case, but a good test for how you aught to study... is your resistance to it. If it doesn't feel taxing at all, you probably need to find a way to engage more fully. Study sessions should be a brisk jog, not a walk.
I bought "make it stick" because of another video on this channel, and now it's summarized very nicely. Thank you.
Well, my phone is definitely listening. The title and appearance in my algorithm is enough proof for me. Great content!
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
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 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!
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.
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.
6:20 "you might think I'm wrong but I'm right and I have science on my side" I love how you put in the effort to write a whole profound newspaper article
Just love your channel and giving me all the right tools to help me learn data science thank you
The best video I have seen thus far on learning and learning strategies. Short, simple and applicable immediately. Thank you, Python Programmer!
This is a brilliant video! Definitely has changed my perspective on learning and memory, will definetly give these methods a try!
Thank you so much, I jus discovered you. Your video quality is impeccable and organized and the content is good
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.
Done the B. Oakley course on Coursera.. At least twice. The approach to learn how to learn is fundamental, whatever the subject. Would redo it from time to time, to remember the "details" / retrieve some information I would eventually forget. What surprise me, is the confirmation that interleaving was a part of the process. Surprises me, as I've always done things that way. Still these are "things to remind" all your life !
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.
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.
Thank you so much for this video. I will use these tips. Best
Superb presentation! I plan to use these principles in my teaching.
Thank you, very much for sharing your knowledge AND your references! (:
okay, before i even knew about any of these methods, i used and still use interleaving. since i have too many interests and topics i wanna learn i have to somehow make a system so i can learn them all at the same time, also because i get bored easily and have to change my activities pretty quickly, i use interleaving. and i've been doing that since i was a child. and i can say from my own experience that it helped me enhance my memory so much, like i can not touch a topic for two to three weeks and when i pick it up again, it's like i learned about it yesterday. thanks to this method i have an excellent memory!
I'm just thankful for UA-cam's search engine. This is my new favorite channel. I cannot believe this quality.
reason why i do highlighting: It just makes my textbook look more fun to read compared to the bland, monotone, black on white letters, AND also helps me break a page into sections highlighted with alterations between max. two different coloured highlighters
Dude!!! INSTANT SUB!! Top video, can tell this channel is going to have great content already. Just one of those times when I can tell in the first few minutes I've struck UA-cam gold.
What a beautifully crafted video, Thank you.
Leaving the links? Separating the video to parts? Telling the source articles? Amazingly helpful!😊 also your voice is so calming
Love your channel. You even make visiting your sponsors an exciting detour!
I signed up for the Coursera course How to Learn... we'll see how that works for me.
Thank you for always coming up with something I would be interested in. 🤗
I already know everything of these, but I still enjoy your video very much: the style of narrating and explaining is so soothing.
Thank you very much for this useful content. I found the articule about the Science of learning and I’m going to print it and use the knowledge in my lessons (I already using many of them, like spacing). ❤️👏👏👏
I don't use higlighting to understand or remember a text, they're to help me browse the material later if I'm writing an essay or something.
I mainly highlight names, or words that split a paragraph into smaller parts. It'll be much faster for me to find out what Dr. Johnsson said if I need a quote.
The best video for student like me..I like how you linked all these methods so we know what's the next step we should take..
I am glad that I found this channel..Subscribed it ❤
Thank you for this invaluable information. Much appreciated.
thanks a lot for sharing these methods
Thank you! Practical advice supported by evidence. 👏
This is the single best video on learning that I've seen. My question is this - how do I learn programming? Are there different techniques that would help with internalizing complex programming concepts?
That's the first video I see from your channel and I've already subscribed to your channel and liked the video👍🏻 I really appreciate the effort to look for science articles that support data and results with information and scientific basis and the way you synthesise the information 👍🏻 Keep it up and you will have a subscriber for ever
I wish wish wish I could like this video a THOUSAND TIMESSSSS I know I’ll be coming back to this as it has everything I need to remind myself when the overwhelm of not knowing where to begin studying strikes… and in one SHORT ENGAGING EASY TO DIGEST VIDEO 🎉🎉🎉
I know this might not get noticed, but I really want to cheer you on! Learning programming might be tough at first, but as time goes on, it'll get easier to understand. If something seems too big, just break it into smaller parts. It's always like that. I believe in you every morning you wake up! ❤ Keep going!
I am so natural with all of these techniques that I thought it's just normal. But seeing them put in topics like this video makes it clear that I was just unconventional to everyone else back in my school days.
I think, retrieval training and elaborative interrogation is actually the same thing, it helps you practice accessing knowledge in your brain, either it's already there or not. And it also helps with accessing similar knowledge, which is how your get creativity.
The spacing effect tells your brain to retain knowledge and fix missing information from deterioration over time, so that's why it helps you remember longer. But think about old people who still remember the days they ware young, they try to recall those days throughout their lives, not just letting them pass by.
The interleaving technique helps with accuracy because it shows you the differences as it gives you something to compare to between each materials. You wouldn't want to compare something entirely different like comparing between special relativity and biology of birds, that's just confusing; but if you compared special relativity and quantum mechanics, that's much easier to pick up.
I love how you editing the video, thank you for making this great video for us.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m a substitute teacher in STEM subjects and electricians school.
I’ve been struggling to make my students more engaged in their learning, and this might be the ace up my sleeve. Great video.
Just discovered this channel. Excellent content and beautifully presented. Thank you.
Well done. Early on in my educational experiences, several of my grammar school teachers had used the approach that interrupted the discussions with a different train of thought. Didn't think too much of this at the time as I had thought that the presentation methods were a natural way of doing things. Later, in Jr High, I had ingrained this technique in my own reading behaviors, almost by accident. And it seemed to work. The great lesson for me as I then realized that one could consciously do a set a procedures (if I had the time) that might change the sought after outcome. Amazing. & according to the clip, the ideas are > 100 years old?
I never highlight anything until understand it and absorb it. So, highlighting is extremely important for me and I find myself retrieve the information better when I highlight than when I not. Those help books make money by making you think what you do is wrong and adopt a better method. I believe that you should do whatever works for you.
Sometimes I highlight to put things into groups. Putting animals or medication in sub categories. Thinking about where it belongs.
I don't remember highlighted word or phrases
Obviously it depends. Many just highlight an information and they think they are done with the topic , which is a false sense of learning. Highlighting things HELPS , but ain't VERY EFFECTIVE
@@drax8818 yes it depends on what you do with the information you highlighted. If you highlight it and never visit that information again and apply it to your life or work then it will be useless. But it highlighting itself is not bad. There is no way I would know the key information in a 600 pages book without highlighting.
@@fantastic6295 the purpose of highlighting is to bring your attention to something or helps distinguish (Like categorizing info) Highlighting alone doesn't help with recall, if you're highlighting with the intent to organize the info, then that has much higher chance of being retained if you give the info context and relevance. When doing any learning activity, it's important to understand the purpose behind the action and if it accomplishes the goal of why you're taking that action.
I think my brain has hit it's max capacity for learning things today. Will come back for spaced repetition and retrieval practice tomorrow. Until then I'll do some interleaving and question myself on how to utilize these techniques in my arduous quest to learn my first ever second language.
Damn, when I started teaching was very keen on method 1, including trying to challenge the kids to solve the problems before looking at the material when I could.
I identified this as a mechanism effective in my learning, but it would make the kids so anxious that I ended up abandoning the practice.
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.
First of your videos I have had presented to me by the yt algorithm…automatic subscription! Excellent content, cheers.
Finally, Someone has explained ways to learn and it makes sense. Thank you Giles McMullen-Klein for the Great video.
The most straight forward video i found on the topic, thank you.
Can't like this video enough!
Thank you for putting the effort into trasnmitting science-based information 👏
This is fantastic. Thank you so much.
Great Video.
I will watch it again in one week, ask myself Questions around all different topics mentioned in this Video, take different perspectives on the topic and then take a test. ❤
Thank you very much! ❤❤❤
There a test driven development in programming. Maybe there is something similar in learning? Like if you take a quiz before reading a paragraph, and also ask as many questions about the topic as you could imagine, and then you approach your textbook, then it will improve your learning process?
I am 28 years old and I want to go back to school. This will help me I hope 😅
I wish teachers would teach students how to learn. Thank you for this gift
So useful tips, thanks so much
Splendid! Now I would be able to improve my own study.
first time watching your video, I found a very insightful and well thought out definitely subscribed and liked
Thank you for this very informative video 👍
this makes me realize why my ADHD has actually been helping me with my intellect. A lot it's positive characteristics have resonated into affinities such as for these concepts. Switching interests and tasks in the right conditions is a recipe for a smart child with a good thinking foundation. My understanding of any material to this day is praised. I'm still a nobody tho. Emotional trauma can still stunt many aspects of maturity growth. :p
Hi, i able to grasp about the concepts you explained but the emotional trauma part, i am not able to get!!!. Can you please explain?
Yeah Great tips and all that. You told us what we have to do to learn better. Now I need to understand HOW to do it. Which methods should I use? How to plan and organize the study sessions to fall in the specifics of the techniques shown.
Absolutely amazing. I've made notes of the 4 points and will be using with my kids.
BUT, it's wrong to advise that highlighting and rereading should be stopped. Both these are helpful and help remember and recall - it's just that the 4 methods given in the video are far superior in helping learn. Highlighting and making notes (making scribbles on the book!) of what I learn, I do all the time - not for necessarily coming back to, but instead to force myself to stop and ponder on the subject for a few seconds. Just my unqualified opinion. 😛
Actually what you said about continuing combined "highlighting & re-reading" according to YOUR own practice is false. YOU described "highlighting & note taking" (which involves processing what you read into your own words & using highlighting for details). So, you are technically supporting Re-call/Restate with selective highlighting (which is beneficial for those who have difficulty w/ details (like dates/events/Names).
Hoping to do some retrieval practice after having watched the video:
1) Retrieval practice - Recall what you've read, while also testing yourself
2) Spaced practice - Keep a gap between studying sessions on the same topic. 12-24h for a 1 week retention span, 6-12 months for a 5 year retention span.
3) Interleaving - Study a mix of topics
4) Elaborative interrogation - Ask the smallest of questions, and then find their answers; to complement your knowledge with the information already provided
Hope to come back again in a month. Would be great to know how to set a youtube reminder :)
Use Google Calendar or something like that and schedule a meeting or an event on the date you wish to come back. In the notes section, you can add a link to this video. I do that often :)
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!
Very helpful. Thanks.
I really would like to thank you so much for this effective summary
Thankyou! Thankyou!! Thankyou!!!
Very clean and concise video.
2:41 - I am an aeronautical engineer 😇 and this was an extremely helpful video. Thanks @pythonprogrammer !
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
1:35, recitation, during reading reading is a simple way to improve recall by undisclosed amount.
3:20, recitation is hard but it works _because_ it is hard. Ie desirable difficulty.
3:45, spaced repetition. It's better to learn over time rather than in a condensed period
5:10, neat graphic of useful and not so useful study strategies
5:53, Interleaved practice (opposed to mass practice). Defined here as changing topics during study. But it can be less broad, like the math example shows. Doesn't explain it unfortunately, but I think it works because it gets you to practice identifying a problem and figuring out which solution to use in math for example, which mass practice leaves out. So on a test, when you have to identify which solution is appropriate for the problem, you can. (Like imagine doing 100 math problems practicing 5 different things. Eg, finding the area vs the perimeter or the circumference etc. If you do 20 questions of each type b2b, you technically never get practice identifying the problem (which you'll need to do during a test). But if you randomly mix them up, you'll have to identify every single one of them, getting practice on 100 questions. Given this reasoning, you don't always need to use interleaving.
8:18, elaborative interrogation.
Thank you so much for this video.
I watched this video multiple times, everything about it is just perfect
I am an aeronautical engineer and just realized I'm completely unqualified for this position!
This is probably the best video that I have seen on UA-cam. 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.
Thank you so much ❤ for your amazing video
You're Great . You present the topics to the audience in a beautiful way. thank you.😍
He does very nice, soft spoken and pretty... but fails to explain "why." If u lack the why on anything whether highlighting/not theres no learning involved. This goes for physics, organic chemistry, math, engr & ofcourse programming
Since I hate studying, I always use the retrieval method before an exam. It works!
Interesting good video. To add to this topic, but more related to true muscle memory studying:
Avoid making mistakes when trying to memorize. Be it on the guitar, piano, violin, etc. If you keep making the same mistakes, your brain will retain memory of the mistakes. So even if it's painfully slow and hard, just avoid making mistakes.
This was a well-produced video. The visuals are fantastic. Great editing. High-value content. I even really appreciated some of the stuff you've done with the audio. Great stuff all around.
Thanks a lot friend 🙌
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 :)
Great video! I learned a lot (;. Thank you!
For Method 1, try to read the questions or try to solve some math problems at the end of the chapter and only then and read and learn.
Method 2 is a spaced practice. You can maybe start two courses and do one for one-two weeks and then switch to the second.
And the Method 3 claims that you should constantly switch between activities. E.g. you can for some time do programming and then switch to the math and then switch to something else and then return to the programming and the cycle goes on and on
Method 4 - as you are learning something, maybe you are reading a book, you should be asking questions. A lot of questions. Try to connect ideas and try to make them make sense to you
Great Work! Your way of presenting information is Amazing. Well done.
Amazing!
Thank you!
I almost clicked away from your video at first because the channel's name suggests junior Python developer content. But thank you for the video - it is great!
