Has anybody had a chance to use these tips yet? Curious if you've found them useful/successful!
I've got my end of year exams soon remembered this video and thought it would help! if i remember i'll let you know how well it worked!
My tests gonna come soon like in a week, so Thank you so much!
Hey, great video!
Can you make a video about Per Espen Stoknes book "What we think about when we try not to think about global warming". It is a book that identifies the five main psychological barriers to climate action, and then addresses them with five strategies for how to talk about global warming in a way that creates action and solutions, not further inaction and despair.
A lot of people are focused on facts as a way to get people to act on climate change, but people not knowing enough about climate change is rarely the reason they don't act.
Gotta use it today .
I´ve been using spacing and interleaving while learning the guitar. I practice one time the week and try to play different songs each time. So I´m learning different chords and orders of the chords. It worked very good for me. I can recommend both of them ☺️
“Embarrassement can play a role”
Makes sense because my brain can remember every *SINGLE* embarrassing thing I’ve ever done
same
that's actually a super helpful tip.
like I usually can't remember shit but my brain likes to remind me of every single embarrassing thing I did in the last five years so yeah that might seriously help a lot
Now you know these 2 fairies got down and dirty right after filming this video.
yeah nobody remembers me blowing the bathroom door off by slipping
@indp. iv oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook but I can.
Summary for more study time.
- Before you start learning the material, take a test to embarrass yourself so that you hypercorrect.
- Space out study sessions by about a day
- Whilst studying, change the material you learn every 30 minutes or so
If you have time, watch the video.
Like so other people in a rush can see.
Edit:
1) Oh my goodness, this is the most likes I've ever had, thank you!
2) I'm sorry, I'm not good at summaries; I tried...
Thank you
Matthew Smith на
I'm acing the being embarrassed part. The rest, not so much.
Nah this is all wrong just watch the video please lol

I accidentally do "spacing" all the times
I call it procrastination
Lol yeah 😂
this needs more likes
😂🥴
Samee 😂😂
LOL
These are the most non-clickbait videos I've ever watched
Underrated too
U ever watch wistlin diesel
@Dmon ! I initially wouldn't have clicked on this video, but I noticed it was made by ASAP science, so it's not even that clickbaity. And the content delivered what the title promised to. So I have to agree, this has to be the most non-clickbaity video I've seen so far
@Dmon ! No, read what I said before that. *I wouldn't have clicked on this video*. I personally think the thumbnail looks terrible.
@Dmon ! When I saw the thumbnail, I was kind of repulsed from clicking the video. They made their thumbnail in erasable markers, which made it look childish. The person's face and body looked kinda scary, and the brain was showing, so it looked disgusting. But I knew that AsapScience makes good content, so I clicked it anyway. And their content was actually good.
Clickbait meant that the title looks interesting, giving you high expectations for the content, but the content isn't what you expected, bringing disappointment.
This video isn't like that, it had interesting premise, and it truly did deliver that promise, fulfilling our expectations and more.
1. Testing- to failure
2. Spacing- take breaks long enough that you almost forget
3. Interlieving- mix it up
Nice☺️
so taking 5 minute breaks will help me learn better xD

Read a mind for numbers by Barbara Oakley. That book is amazing. It is a book that teaches you how to learn. Those 3 concepts you said she put in the book but also other concept.
Also imagine being sponsored by freaking bill gates lol

I went to the same university and same program as Mitch and him talking about those physics quizzes is giving me war flashbacks
Me too
which university/program?
@@KyteSpringer From what I can tell it was an Honours BSc in Biology at the University of Guelph (in Ontario).
@@MrCommentor2 Ah yes, I thought it sounded familiar. And if I remember, the final was worth 50% and only 20 MC questions. Good times.

I haven't followed you guys since my BSc 7 years ago but the new corona video caught my eye so I'm back. I am just LOVING the development of this channel over time!!! Seeing you guys on camera vs the old school whiteboard only method has such a great effect, and when I saw Bill and Melinda partnered with you I fully got chills. So excited about the growth. big love!
Me:has a test tomorrow

Great
UA-cam is always there for us
@@nobody_47 idk what to think about your name 🤔
And then you watch every video about the subject and end up having no time left to actually learn what you are supposed to learn
Hey bro how did the test go?
1) tests:
start with the practice tests. you'll get a lot wrong but thanks to the hypercorrection effect you'll be more likely to remember something when you correct yourself.
2) spacing:
practice something then wait almost long enough to have forgetting the material before practicing it again. youre better off with 1 hour prac now and 1 hour later than 2 hours in one sitting.
3) interleaving:
instead of studying the same thing over mix up and vary the challenge.
in a study of piano players those who only practiced a jump of 20 key were far worse off than those who practiced many intervals. (10 12 15 30 ect)
the many interval practicers were even better at the 20 key jump than the pure 20 key practicers.
thanks
ty!!
Okay, these tips are superb!! I've practised almost each one these at least once in my lifetime subconsciously and now I realised how much these actually helped me score better. Thanks!!
You guys are my heroes! I've been looking for ways to study effectively. Thank you! Hopefully you guys make more videos like these 😊
i do that hypercorrection my whole life without noticing😂😳
same
Me too😆
What do you have to do to implement these 3 Learning Hacks?
1. The generation effect :
Start by testing yourself with a practice test before studying and knowing the material.
The hypercorrection effect:
Do tests too early then fail so that when you learn the correct answer you actually retain the information better and learn it more effectively. Constantly challenge your inaccurate beliefs early, test yourself early and often and force your brain to generate an answer even if it’s the wrong answer and then follow up by learning the correct answers.
2. Spacing
Space out your studying by practicing the new material then wait long enough to almost forget the new material and then practice the new material again, you’ll find that in the day of the exam you’ll remember the new material more naturally.
For example:
Practice a day before the exam and in the day of the exam because the closer you are to the day of the exam the better you’ll be at remembering the information. Practice for four hours and then (one day later or two days later) study for four hours, this will help with your long term memory when you space out your studying.
Don’t study intensively for eight hours because then this won’t help with your long term memory because you didn’t space out your studying.
3. Interleaving or mixed practice
These are 5 do’s and don’ts of interleaving:
1. Don’t study the same thing repetitively (over and over again)
2. Don’t study multiple things at once
3. Don’t use a specific procedure
4. Do mix up and vary the things you study
5. If you are using cue cards make sure that you’re mixing up different themes within those cue cards not just studying the same thing, you gotta mix things up.
Same i would want to first try smtg and if I fail I would then ask for help.
Same lol 😂
I remember I didn't pass one of those PHYS quizzes and I was so embarrassed even though I still had 2 more tries. The second time I did it, I learned the concept that I got wrong originally and somehow got 110% because the quiz had an extra mark! I love these vids because even after years of studying in uni, I still haven't quite figured out what is the best way for me to study, so it's nice to know these techniques!
Man I watched you guys for a long time and y'all have grown so much it's insane, hard work pays off
UA-cam: recommends me this video after I’ve written all my tests
Me: *well thanks*

Need more example application on all those theory.
chefkero watch. the video
Sounds like what he does with Covid.
But if we revise the material that we've studied after such a long time, that we almost forget it, would be like studying it for the first time.
Even then is it the right thing ?
@@jellybean3078 our brain never forgot the material its always there with dead neurons in your brain. But you study again so this neurons light up and makes even more stronger connection
I love how you spread great messages! Thanks for helping out all my fellow students. Keep it up!
Thank you for this! I was never sure how, other than possibly raw intellectual prowess, some people could just waltz through a college course without really reading the textbook, and still do well on the tests. I think a large part of it may simply be they "play around" with the information during quizzes and activities, and learn it that way rather than by more traditional methods.
I've been following this channel since the start and I love that y'all are now showing your faces and more personality now!

Is it cognitive psychology?
The problem with spacing is that I’ll forget to do it the second time.

To do practice test to begin with and also throughout studying phases is a really good tip. As said it will help you remember wrong answers better and you also see where do you stand in terms of your progress for the subject.
I just watched another "educational" video, a few hours ago, that premiered today. They also thanked the Gates for sponsoring their video.
(That video is produced by PBS.)
Did the Gates recently just drop a whole bunch of money to UA-camrs?
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation did this last year too. It's very much about raising awareness for the issues in the world, and they sponsor a lot of youtubers, science/learning channels and regular other channels
He did. Which we know because he and they have been disclosing properly~
@@DustNecox Also don't forget that bill gate also sponsored casually explain
@@nezunish-898 Yeah, I watched his sponsored video. He's definitely one of the learning channels, but there's a comedic twist to all of his videos
I guess they're trying to resurrect their charter school thing? The one that they admitted was a failure based on their own data. But I guess they're not done screwing public school students and teachers so it's time for a PR blitz 🙄😑🤷
Upset the video wasn't called

Also I make educational videos!
Now that's a perfect title for this video!

@@anna-michellecourshon505 thank you so much!
This is my favourite video from ASAPSCIENCE so far. I really like this format, and I needed help studying for some upcoming tests so thanks!!!
You guys explaining with practical examples instead of just explaining the concept made it much better to understand. Great video!
i have finals mocks next week this came at the PERFECT time
Same!
Yeah but how you gonna do spacing
You two are just wonderful people we appreciate your content.
Making mistakes, forgetting and mixing things up! Sounds like something I would do.
Thank you guys again, I always have struggled with this.
PS, your house looks so neat
I love the new format. The mix of your faces and drawing was great.
Thank you sir for sharing your experiences in life with all of us❤️ For me personally the thing that impairs me from learning is social anxiety, which Im currently trying to deal with now.

Great job guys! Thanks for the info. Optimizing of learning and retention is a high priority for myself and should be for everyone in this information age.
Love everything you guys do! Great video and keep up the good work!
Keep in mind this is just the GUIDELINES to learn stuff.
Your can learn entirely in your own way.
Tell that to the title of the video. I wish it was titled "guidelines to study" and not "the 3 ONLY ways to study."
I think you should differentiate it from the learning technique, and I think this is something that should help you on top of your technique. Like I dunno the icing on a cake or something
yea ik I’m very good at speaking precisely thanks
8:49
@@cokebottles5218 Actually, it's the only 3 study hacks backed by science. You can do other things that aren't scientifically proven to work if you wish to. Like that kid who sleeps on his text book so that the knowledge in the book seeps into his brain. It's not scientifically validated, but no one is going to stop you from trying it.
@@asherdevin Well but one of the oldest (and thus most proven) "hacks" for learning and mastering anything is practice and repetition. That's one that they simply didn't have on there list. Honestly consistent and diligent studying and practicing of something is a great way to become an expert at doing that thing. For example, someone who isn't good at math could simply put more time into reviewing and memorizing the material and then doing practice problems until they're pros at it applying the concept. But sadly that very simple method of studying wasn't in the video.
Miss Willow: "I need to talk to you about your test results, Erik. You scored a mere 6 of 30 on the test!
Me: *I'm hyper-correcting*
Thank you I felt like I needed this more than anything , you guys are the best!!!!!
Fantastic video. I knew about spacing and interleaving and it works so well but I really like the 'testing for failure'. Good one. Well done guys.

These guys are the one who always motivates me to stick with complex science concepts instead of giving up. Thank you ASAPscience :) #❤Science
It's nice that these types of videos come out when I'm
A) studying for an exam.
B) dying on the inside from aforementioned studies.
C) should get back to my studies.
This is helpful!
The last one is what my calculus teacher does. It’s crazy because I’m taking AP Calc AB but I’ve NEVER taken a pre calc or trig class. But my teacher (who I don’t think knows she’s doing it consciously) gives us a multitude of different types of calc questions to have us start thinking conceptually rather than in a procedural way vs literally what all my other math teachers have done. But Bc of that I was able to learn a lot more that trig and pre calc, even more than what a lot of kids in the actual pre calc and trig classes know.
I use mixed learning when I practice my cello. What I do is, when I am struggling with either rhythm, shifting, bowing, intonation, or coordination, I practice each one separately. For example, in the Saint-Säens Cello Concerto in A Minor, I had a hard time getting the rhythm precise, so, I turned my metronome on to the quarter note tempo that I was comfortable with and played each note just like that. Then, once I had that down, I played it with every single regular rhythmical variation I could come up with and add the bowings once I got the rhythm correct.
The spanish learning experiment should be inconclusive. The information that can be recalled from 8 hours after 8 years is so small, that random variance plays a large role. Also, spanish is the worlds second largest language, meaning that outside influences (listening to spanish music, taking a vacation to a spanish speaking country, being friends with hispanics) would have a much larger effect than 8 hours 8 years ago.
7:27 Strategies was spelled incorrectly and now it is all I can think about.
I just saw that and I was confused because I knew it was wrong but couldn’t work out why 🤦♀️
Whose that Pokémon?! stratatata 🐁
Yes
Me too i literally googled to see if its a different spelling for Canadians/Americans to try and excuse it but nope :( same as England
Teaching is also one of the best ways to learn, not just regurgitating what you know, but actually helping someone understand, because they may have questions you never had forcing you to come up with answers yourself or showing where your weak points of knowledge are.
you guys are so amazing for this video!!! good job! 💘
“Stratagies” = strata + strategies

I teach elementary school and this year we’ve practiced interleaved warmup where students practice math problems they are focusing on currently, just finished learning, and then a throwback problem from earlier in the year.
Wait so what happened y'all this video was private earlier.
i assume they preview it.
Alyssa Champagne yeah I watched it earlier this afternoon, but I can’t tell if any differences from that video and this one
NipNip 77 I think there are more...drawings.
But idk
You gained enough XP to watch it
As soon as we hit exam season (a week or so before the exam) my friend and I make cootie catchers with a bunch of different stuff about the subject. Like in math we had one dedicated to equations, one to word problems, one to smaller mental problems and two that were a mix of all the above plus either a break or something from another class that we had an exam for this semester like French. Uped my math grade by 3% this year which is big. I have enriched math
My fav vid on this channel I must say.. Really needed this for my exams!
The letter was really admirable and informative^_^
Thanks for distributing that letter😇
1. Focus on doing practice questions and don't worry about getting answers wrong; you will learn from your mistakes and retain the knowledge even better
2. Space out your study intervals (eg. study/learn material ahead of time then study a month later or when you have upcoming exam)
3. Study a variety of different types of questions
Them: gives everyone good advice on studying
Me: *always forgets to follow it*
I’ve noticed on some tests that as I read through the questions and the answers on a subject I don’t really understand, seeing how I’m being tested helps me understand the subject. Getting the big picture through how the questions are oriented has kind of saved my grade once or twice, even though it seems backwards.
Great video, glad you will be focusing more on the environment this year!
Got diagnosed with ADHD at 25. 27 now and went back to school once I got on medication. At first, it was still really difficult, even the most basic of maths and science. I never learned how to learn and was never able to.
After the first year not much changed, until I pushed myself into a significantly more difficult classes(pre-calculus and electronics). I wasn't ready at all for this but the Hyper-correction was real my dudes and ladies.
If you want to realize your max potential, go in, all in and fail. Get back up and do it again. that 2nd time around will be so much better so long as you took note of the failures and planned better.
I have a 98th percentile long term memory and because of my ADD I've ALWAYS done interleaving learning. Because I get bored easily I start a bunch of things at once and cycle through learning a bunch of things at once. For years, professors and teachers would tell me that's not how learning works but always stuck with it because it worked for me. I did a Ph.S in Philosophy and Logic in University. But in highschool I was in the French Immersion program but did night school for Japanese and Korean. I learnt Japanese and Korean side by side for 4 years and did extremely well in both courses. When I went to university I took Italian and Spanish side by side and again since super well. I have a weird habit of taking on things simply because they're difficult and the reason I started languages to begin with was because of my dyslexia with languages and kept doing interleaving learning for the same reason. I got lucky it actually worked out for me. I went from a 1.47 GPA to a 4.0 in 4 years simply because I was too stubborn to take the 'easy' route of learning. It's super reassuring I'm not crazy!
Epic ASAP science
EPIC
u guys have been doing great work and in my opinion, very consistently.
Thank you two for your awesome videos!
mom: what are you doing?
me: trying to forget and learn it again
Sources would be nice to some of the stuff you discuss in your videos. The Spanish learning example for instance could have been influenced by so many factors that it would be nice to see what measures the team conducting that study took to eliminate bias in their results.
Two years later, but the sources are in the description
I recently came across an saying which states "if you can not explain the subject simply then you don't understand it fully" or something like that. Thank you for creating videos which makes science fun and interesting. Please keep on posting more educational videos for us. At this day in age, information is key
Thank you, I get really really bad test anxiety to a point where I almost black out and this video helped me sooooooo much thank you!!!!!!!!!
Where do you comedy ?I would love to go and support you !
I’m taking a big test in about two months, my genius Mother have always sort of told me about “practice test” and I can recall performing better after embarrassing myself in study groups before 🤔 and I have heard about spacing, I’ll try three of them :D I’ll post the results :)
Thanks guys!!!
I love your videos 😌
Let’s keep science growing!!!
So? What are the results? Lol
Hello! Although it took me some time to get the hang of it, it works wonderfully, specially spacing. Study groups and practice test helped me to get used to ask and being asked, also study groups can be a nice time. It did took me some time to organize myself but in my case is worth it. Happy studying :D
You're amazing, the channel is amazing and science is amazing
I love your videos, super informative and useful! Thanks guys!!
Regarding Greg's stand-up comedy: don't quit your day job. :)
Joking! You'll be great! Especially after practicing over and over, per this video!
Keep up the great work!
Always enlist your good friend, Science!
Lmao this actually explains why Ive been able to make it for as long as I have in a job I'm technically awful at.
Getting things wrong a lot has made me a sponge for all the corrections I've been given, which, in turn, has given me a dialogue with co-workers, and a jumping-off point to further my learning.
You guys are amazing. Thanks! ❤
Thanks for your tips, Greg and Mitch. I am very sure that these techniques will work well in my upcoming exams.

Upset the video wasn't called
"How to learn asap"
"Strategies" is spelled wrong on the dry erase at about 7:30.
Yeah I noticed that too 😂
Shit your production value and the energy of you too is awesome, subbed, thanks for such great/entertaining info :)
Here are a summary of the Effects that they discussed in the video.
1. Generation Effect
This effect involves tests. You test yourself before you study, force yourself to answer questions you do not know then correct yourself. Study the lesson then test yourself again and again.
2. The Spacing Effect
Study then give yourself sometime to forget what you studied then study again.
3. The Interleaving Effect
Study a harder process of the same subject. Like in Math, you are studying Linear Equations but according to this effect, you should study a harder part of Algebra like Calculus.
Please like if this is helpful. Thank you. This is not in the description box so I decided to type it.
Pray for me. In my third year at University while also looking after my 18 month old son (and my child-like husband! Lol)

i already feel all of these 3 tricks. i thought these were only my mind's creation.but now,
glad to hear that these are actually expert tricks.
I liked the hyper-correction one the best because I've had experience with it and believe it works the best. I can confidently say I learned something new and will apply the practice to my both my academic and personal life. Thanks ASAP😁👍!
Funny how this video came out while I was studying for my science exam
Exploring these mechanisms a bit further: the hypercorrection effect, spacing, and interleaving all fit in under the Retrieval-Based Learning theory. Self-testing early and repeatedly is more effective for recall than plain revision mainly due to:
a) the rehearsal of activating old and new neural pathways to specific memories from different perspectives and in different contexts, defining similarities and differences from other concepts (Spacing and Interleaving);
and, very importantly:
b) the association of personalised *meaning* to a memory, especially if the meaning is somehow relevant to oneself (Semantic Memory, the most stable form of long-term memory).
This second mechanism is active in the practise of 'embarrassing' oneself through the hypercorrection effect, which assumes that a student who has recently learned information to be tested on will likely feel more confident in answering correctly than the student who learned it weeks ago.
The first article @AsapScience referenced for Hypercorrection (Eich, T. S., Stern, Y., & Metcalfe, J., 2013.) stated that "the semantic relation between the errors and the correct answer is stronger for high than low confidence errors", citing Metcalfe & Finn (2011).
Eich et al. (2013) also said that "While it seems intuitive that errors committed with high confidence should be more difficult to correct than less entrenched, low confidence errors, the data show the opposite result: correct recall performance is better for errors that were initially committed with high, rather than low confidence. This counterintuitive finding is called the hypercorrection effect".
I feel it's important to note that the main research finding of Eich et al. (2013) was that older participants (aged around 65) did *not* exhibit a significant Hypercorrection Effect, while young adults and children did.
P.S.: Here's an interesting study on Retrieval-Based Learning, where students who learned information once only and only self-tested thereafter, later recalled the information far better than students who self-tested not at all or only once before evaluation.

P.P.S: this whole comment is just the result of me practising retrieval of what I've recently learned about memory ;)
I went through a course from coursera "Learning How to Learn" and they taught the same things. Thank you
I'm gonna start telling my teachers that I space myself which is why I turn in late homework
lol yes! 😂😂😂
If you fail only 1 course, you still have an okay chance of graduating ...
They misspelled “strategies” at 7:27 and I don’t know what’s real in my life anymore
Lmao
Yes! I could have used these back in public school and college. And "Range" is a great read!
YOU GUYS ARE SO COOL! They way you both explain and dive in depth about topics is so unique and powerful! I simply would love to be friends haha.
