How to do ACTIVE RECALL Effectively? (4 Techniques worked for me)

Рет қаралды 837,970

Жыл бұрын

Traditional Study Techniques put data into the brain. Active recall is the exact opposite, where the students recall information from the brain. In short, Here are 4 techniques that worked really well for me in medical school.
1) Creating "Recall Questions" from my notes.
2) Using Anki for Active Recall & Spaced Repetition. (Gold Standard Study technique)
3) Using Multiple sensory modalities to study and recall.
4) Doing Practice Questions.
I have a small challenge for you in the video! Here are the Answers to those questions.
1) What is the brain area responsible for memory?
= Hippocampus.
2) What is the main difference between active recall and passive recall?
= Passive recall is uploading information to the brain. Active recall is the process of recalling information from the brain.
3) What are the two study techniques the Anki app is based on?
= Active Recall & Spaced Repetition.
4) Name three ways you can incorporate active recall?
= Creating Questions, Using Anki, Multi-modal recall, Practice Questions.

As a muslim, I used to memorize the Qura'an and do the same tachnique which is closing the book and trying to recall the verses by making sure that I made zero mistakes since my childhood and that really helped me in making my memory so strong. I've never encountered obstructions or difficulties on any course that depends on memorizing. However, for those who finds themselves having troubles on memorizing I highly recommend u guys to look over the techniques given in this video!

Yeah same, the interesting fact is when I try to explain it to myself when walking or moving it forces me to creatively answer the question. When it's right I try to shorten my answer and be more clear towards that imaginary audience. I always thought I was weird for learning like this. Im glad it's the method for better recall instead of highlighting with the impression u transfer the info during highlighting. This is proven to be ineffective for recall, but great to quickly find relevant info about a subject that is connected with the major material of an examen. In summary: Highlighting is great for filtering and to separate relevant and irrelevant information, yet active recall explained in the video is the method for retaining that information for the long term. Maybe u guys find this useful, but this works for me. I use a 4 step proces for longterm info storing. 1. I read just globally and with more like an amusing attitude the material ( a book for tax or law ). 2. When I find the subjects that are more complicated I highlight it and then I read it 1 more time but this time with a thorough understanding. 3. Next i try to make (when provided) some exercises to practice and become more familiar with the material. 4 Then when I am confident enough I try to actively explain it to myself or an imaginary audience, when I am wrong I can go back to the highlighted information to provide myself with the missing info that I was stuttering during the explanation. That's my method, it worked for me almost anytime. Its not the fastest, but for very important subjects ( also shown in the video ) the method for retaining information for long term.

In our country, the education system is very outdated and it sucks. We have to memorize the whole paragraphs on every subjects except maths. If we learn a topic, we have the memorize the whole thing from the textbook and we have to write them down exactly in exams. This is not education. But the silver lining here is we improved our memory a lot as active recall was the only study method for us.

Another thing: If your flashcards end up being long, think of how to make other flashcards which use only part of the original flashcard. Still keep the original to tie all the smaller ones together, though. It will be easier to remember the individual facts by using multiple smaller flashcards, then putting them together using the original, bigger one.

@tiendoan6417 3 күн бұрын

I found that Practice question can be double edge sword. Some test have maybe 300-400 possible questions and student would opt for just remember the question and the answer without understanding the section that contain the question. In highschool this work well because it usually same set of questions and answers repeatedly from teacher to help student score well. As you move out from that shell into college or life level of learning, test questions become harder and they get tweak or change all the time so unless you understand the material, u can’t answer probably.

This technique is pretty good, but it's probably not enough while recalling current affairs for Govt exams cause there are tons of them and if you don't pass in one chance, you will have to quickly learn another pile of ca again. And active recalling bit by bit takes time. It is much easier to go through practice questions if you don't have enough time for revision and you are in desperate need for a job.

KEY TAKEAWAY:‼️ What i've realized about flashcards is that in order to maximize its efficiency as a study tool/technique/strategy you gotta designate a specific time to gather and organize all the subject's material/content in order to effectively study for an exam (notice I didnt say project but mainly something like a quizz/test/exam). And like with anything else you have got to be consistent in comitting to this process, otherwise your lecture notes and other course content is gonna creep up on you before you know it. Therefore, Its always good to keep good measure and track your progress (color coded not numbered; preferably). For eg. Days that u just could not study mark it as red in your calendar. Its a bit less deblitating to see a few reds in a sea of green!
