This strategy involves reviewing information at spaced intervals over time. Instead of cramming all the material in one study session, you review it multiple times over a longer period.
This technique involves actively retrieving information from memory rather than passively reviewing notes or textbooks. You can use flashcards, practice tests, or simply try to recall information from memory.
Elaboration involves explaining and expanding upon new concepts in your own words. By relating new information to existing knowledge and creating meaningful connections, you deepen your understanding and improve retention.
Instead of studying a single topic extensively before moving on, interleaving involves mixing different subjects or topics during your study sessions.
Retrieval practice involves actively recalling information without referring to your study materials. This can be done through quizzes, practice tests, or even recalling information from memory.
Dual coding involves combining visual and verbal information when learning new concepts. This strategy utilizes both text and visual elements, such as diagrams, charts, or mind maps, to represent information.
Metacognition refers to thinking about your own thinking and learning processes. It involves planning, monitoring, and evaluating your learning strategies.
