EXAMPLES of specific Elaboration questions from MATH
You're studying calculus. The topic is “derivatives”. How do derivatives work? Well, they are the rate of the change. How does that work? You take a look at one point, then you take a look at a prior point, over some interval. And then you take the difference divided by the interval. As that interval approaches zero, you have the instantaneous rate of change. Why does this happen? Because “instantaneous” means that the interval is nothing.
SCIENCE
Imagine you are studying neural communication, maybe in a biology, neuroscience, or psychology class.
How does neural communication work? If we look at one neuron, the dendrites receive messages from many other neurons, and then the messages converge in the soma. If there is enough of a positive charge within the soma, then an action potential will occur, and an electrical signal goes down the axon. When the signal reaches the terminal buttons, neurotransmitters release into the synapse where they communicate with the dendrites of the next neuron.
Why does this happen? The neurotransmitters are chemicals that allow neurons to communicate with one another. The pattern of activation among different neurons (which neurons fire, how quickly, what neurotransmitters they release) determines the message in your brain.
You might then ask, how does the axon work? The axon is a long tail-like structure that produces the electrical signal.
How does the signal travel? The axon is covered in myelin sheath, a fatty substance that insulates the axon. The myelin sheath works like the rubber around the cord of an electrical appliance, and it serves to make the electricity travel faster.
Why have myelin sheath? Because we need our neurons to be able to send signals fast, since we need to be able to react, make decisions, move quickly, perceive feeling in our skin instantly, etc.
Make sure to compare ideas to learn how they are similar and different. For example, an axon and terminal buttons are both parts of a neuron; but, the axon sends an electrical signal while the terminal buttons release chemicals. Both Schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease are related to the neurotransmitter dopamine, but Schizophrenia is the result of too much dopamine while Parkinson’s disease is the result of too little dopamine.
Also, try to make connections to your own memories or experiences, and compare ideas to learn how they are similar and different. We already made the connection from myelin sheath on axons to the rubber on cords to electrical appliances.
Here is another example: a family member or close friend who suffers from Schizophrenia disease is suffering from too much dopamine. This means that too much dopamine is being released, by the terminal buttons, into the synapse. A doctor could give them a drug to reduce the dopamine in their brain, called a dopamine antagonist. If too much of this drug is used, the patient might begin developing symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease.
How would a dopamine antagonist work? … continue asking yourself elaborative questions!
HISTORY
Imagine you’re studying World War II, and the attack on Pearl Harbor.
You could ask yourself, how did this attack happen? On December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. The attack included Japanese fighter planes, bombers, and torpedo planes.
Why did this happen? The Japanese intended to destroy the United States’ Pacific Fleet so that it could not interfere with Japanese operations.
Here you could also ask another type of question: What was the result of this historic event? Well, Japanese casualties were light, while they damaged eight U.S. Navy battleships. The Arizona was among those that the Japanese sunk, and was not raised from the shallow water. U.S. aircrafts were also destroyed, and 2,403 Americans were killed (1,178 were injured).
Why is this event important? The day after the attack, Roosevelt delivered his Infamy Speech, the United States declared war on Japan, and Japanese-Americans were then relocated to internment camps.
You could then go on: how did the U.S. enter the war? How did the Pearl Harbor attack lead up to the release of the atomic bomb? How did the war end? And so on. There are so many ways to explain the idea and add details!

Memorize Academy I love to understand from your videos
can you post any video on how not to procrastinate and do the work you are given.
Memorize Academy Of course it worths the pain to spend some of our time watching this video.
Man TH-cam has taught us way more than in school I swear...
🤣🤣😂😂😅😅You said it!!!
Word!
To right my g
I wish there is no school in future and we all study from TH-cam 😂
You are right.
TH-cam recommended this at the right time, soon after the school re - open
Put it all into action and I hope you crush it this year!
I am over 70 and wish this brilliant insight into study and retention had been around 60 years ago. My mind was always open and positive but you have revitalised my brain to education and learning. Thank you ! to EVERYONE AT MEMORIZE ACADEMY. Bob, Ireland.
Wowww
You're welcome Bob :)
I came here from frustration of studying.
When i dont want to study I just watch these kids of videos. I get motivated and start to study right after
Whatever it takes as long as you're putting it into action!
Dude omg ikr me too
I’ve always struggled with school because I’ve always felt as if I didn’t know how to study properly. I’m 34 and I’m taking classes at the community college. This is amazing and thank you so much for taking the time to share this sort of information with the world.
I know it can be super-frustrating because most schools don't teach you HOW to learn, only WHAT to learn. Which means most people have a lot of unfulfilled potential! Start using these techniques consistently and I'm sure you're going to crush your classes :)
Memorize Academy I agree completely. I will do my best. Thank you again.
@@DSGQR Also check out this video to make sure you're being as strategic as possible too - th-cam.com/video/UIMI4Hh4PxU/w-d-xo.html
this was from two years ago but your comment can't help but put a smile on my face; it's great to see that people still have a love for learning and having a motivation to keep going.
it helped me get a full grade on my science test
That's awesome Yugi, congratulations!
I wouldn’t be surprised if TH-cam starts a schools for students like bro TH-cam is THE TEACHER for this generation.efficient videos like these improve our knowledge more than SCHOOL TBH
Finally a short and not boring guide
Spread the word Victor ;)
TH-cam literally teaches us way more than schools
James Campola wrdd
yes
@James Campola I had to watch it cause we couldn’t go back on the day we were supposed to lmao
pov - you are watching this for school :]
yes i am
yes i am
Yeah haha
Yes indeeed
yeppers
This is how I naturally study. And I'm crushing all of my exams. This is coming from someone who was a lazy *ss & almost failed a semester. I'm a dental student graduating in a few months.
All the Best for coming exams
Amira omg go you! Great job and good luck with the upcoming challenges of dental school - I'm aspiring to be a nutritionist and I'm SO using this to get into the university I want!
Because I'm also a lazy arse :-/
me too and now I have sub's I got 2 in them and am doing CXC maths
Time to follow this 2019 resolution 🙏
1: grades (that’s all I have to say)
Get those simple but powerful habits started now and you're going to crush it this year!
When you're cramming for a test tomorrow then you search on ways to study effectively and fast then you watch this video and the first thing it says is not to cram 😂😂
If you're cramming, watch this one instead - th-cam.com/video/UIMI4Hh4PxU/w-d-xo.html
did this for the final exams and got an A+ in science last year no i would get an A++ Thx :)
Awesome!!
This year i'm going to have my final exam , thanks for this tips . I'll try to apply this advices for getting maximum results for my University application
school doesn't teach us how to study agree?
@Kelly 22 fr like how do i study?!
I’ve watched many study videos and this is the best. Not only do you talk about the techniques but you also give tips on how to apply them. This is super helpful. Thanks a lot!!
And thank you for watching Vanessa :)

@@user-go9bo8ri6t على الرحب و السعة
doing all of your studdying in long sessions will also make you forget more just naturally. do any one thing for long stretches of time and your brain will start tossing out large periods of it from short term memory since as far as your brain is concerned, youre just doing the same thing over and over again, it can just toss out the details and keep the broad strokes and it will be fine, by spacing it out you brain will keep around a larger portion of each study session
watching while procrastinating :)
I've only realized now that I have been applying already some of the strategies here..😍
10000th video am watching about memorising strategies
Lmao same
My only one habit matches that I take breaks while studying
Now work on the others :)
Me too but I was that I needed to study non stop with no breaks .I was told that shouldn't have a social life .
Video: 3 years ago
Comments: 1 week ago
It's still a valuable video that's got cutting edge information ;)
5 years ago, but yea.
@Ella’s page Math is not everyone's strong suit
@@MemorizeAcademy why don't u post anymore
enough TH-cam videos, now I am going to study!!!, thanks you bro!
Fantastic, go and crush it!
If we needed somone to help us get rid of school
This is the man!
Ty
Spaced reading is the best. And your video was awesome.
1 of these tips was actually what I'm using! The Switching! That's why I'm always A+ I promise all of these work! I like this.
소피야케리 how do i exactly switch in topics . English is not my first language and i'm having a hard time understanding these methods could you please help me ..
Welp, i'm gonna put this to the test. Had 2 midterms last week, crammed, & got a B on both.
i ranked last on our school.. i would like to make a change.. hope this would help me in the upcoming school year..
You can do it Paul!
If you arent lazy, im sure u will become top
We're rooting for you, you got this dude!
+dorqy well
THE WAY OF PRESENTING YOUR INFORMATION IS SPLENDID.PLEASE KEEP ON MAKING MORE.THIS VIDEO IS ABSOLUTELY USEFUL.
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching :)
My college program doesn’t give you two weeks to study for test. They’ll assign you new information to learn and 2 or 3 days later is the exam. Example: day 1 chapter 1, day 2 chapter 2, day 3 chapter 3, and on the fourth day exam. So you’re forced to cram. I need to learn how to retain things quickly.
mine also like yours
If u dont mind can you tell what is the name of your college,its completely fine if you Dont want to
This video helped me a lot through high school! I was struggling with studying but after applying these strategies I completed high school with top tier grades! And I only studied for 30mins a day!
Knowledge and insight are nothing without action, so well done!!
am I tge onky one that was so impressed by the drawings? I love how he draws. lol
Thanks :)
It was like Hugh Jackman was telling me about how to be a good student
Haha, I'll take that one, thanks :)
i am gonna start new semester for 2020 wish me luck 😊♥️♥️♥️♥️
You've got this!
@Dhivya Elangovan thank youu🥺
@@MemorizeAcademy thank youu!
I'm a teacher and I always stumbled upon the same problem: how can I get my students te 1 learn and 2 learn effectively. This video and especially the materials provided on your website have worked wonders in my classes. Thank you for this!
Thanks for watching Emily :)
Nobody:
Our English Teacher: Let's make a quiz about this video
🤣😂
Unfortunately I don't have much time for spaced practice
Because my exams are next week!!!
th-cam.com/video/UIMI4Hh4PxU/w-d-xo.html
I've never been aware of my study style or styles rather before i started watching this but reaching the end of the video made me aware that I DO ALL OF THOSE TECHNIQUES DEPENDING ON THE SUBJECTS, it's amazing because IT REALLY DOES WORK!!
OKAY, LET'S START.
Last Semester, I ranked at 15th.
Let see at this semester! Wish me luck!
(Now, I'm in University [the nice one] and slay~ thanks)
Good luck!!
What's your rank now..... 😶
.....
@@deekshamishra8179 back then, 4 years ago.. I was in 11. Right now, I'm in good university in Indonesia!♡
@@resitiara5766 that's good.... All the best for later!! 👍
exam on monday wish me luck. Have to memorize multiple things.
Check out this video too - th-cam.com/video/UIMI4Hh4PxU/w-d-xo.html
I love this channel! This channel helps me study better and be more organized. Thank you so much for this video!!!
I loved the simplicity of the ideas! I had to share it with my students.
thanks to you i passed 6 grade
Congratulations!!
I thought you don't fail primary
Unlike a bunch of stuff my teacher told me, this actually worked pretty good
I loved the video! It's helpful, and the most amazing thing is that you don't beg for likes and subscribers!! Continue like this and you'll have more and more subscribers ❤
omg i got an A+ because of this video
weell
I'm so scared to start college again. I had something happen that ruined much of my memory and now I fear that failure, but you make me want to at least try!
If you use these tactics and put in the effort, I'm sure you'll do great Kara. You've got this!
You can do this Kara, you got this!
Any update homie?
Great advice! Cannot stress the importance of the last skill enough. Recalling what you have learned is crucial for high performance
who else is watching this instead of studying?
Me
Me
yep
Lol
I feel called out
Thanks for the tips they were extremely helpful in my tests!!!! I went from a 2- to a 4
Awesome, well done!
Omg tysm!!! I NEED this I have mainly c’s and I hate myself for it
I think the most effective way to study for my test in 3 days is to study not watch TH-cam videos on studying😂🤣
It all comes down to taking action!
My class will be resuming tomorrow and now im in 9th grade, I will apply what i just learned from this video. This is worth watching
i got a lot of struggles on subject on my books im glad this video are help me a lot of not to pressuring my self on study

Wow after 2 years he still reads our comments 👍 👍
Really appreciated and tell us he really care of us 😇😇
It's my channel, of course I read all the comments!
This is really helpful.Amongst all the study videos this is the BEST.
I have downloaded this videos. Please make more videos about studying.
Thanks for the PDF of it all, it was very helpful!
I hope this helps with my studies. I ranked 7th this school year. I'm going for 1st 🙏
Good luck hitting your goals!
+Memorize Academy Thank you☺
Go for it! :) ;)
I ranked 12th over 38 students in my class. And i'll try to get 1st too! Let's strive together! 🙏🙏
+Zaria P Goodluck to both of us! ☺
Thank you for including "Japanese-Americans were then relocated to internment camps" in your comments because people often forget about that very important event!
i am gonna just use and chrush my studies and share it all around with my besties its life changing guys...... life changing!!
Go crush it!!
the ANSWER method seems very useful and coincidently the video is recommended to me at the right time for me who is thinking about studying over the holidays
thank you! i just realize that i used some ineffective study method, and this is very useful for me!
There's no holding you back now :)
I'm reading a book called How We Learn, which is very, very, very thorough on the research and conclusions on learning, and everything I've read so far, Memorize Academy said. So I trust the rest.
Great video! I was semi-listening because just prior to this I was learning about learning styles. About halfway through the video, you shocked me. THIS IS NOT ABOUT LEARNING STYLES. I had to go back and listen all over again to the points that you were making. Thanks for sharing!
A lot of people find it difficult to let go of the idea of learning styles.

When am trying to do my study, am not concentrate well.
@@georginafidalou9829 are you able to concentrate now?
As always, great tips! thanks
Thank you! Last one was great happy i waited Haha
Kudos from a mechanical engineering student in Norway. I'm sitting for my exams in 5 weeks and was super stressed out but after watching this video i can now relax and enjoy my study time. Worked as a charm on my physics prep. Thanks
Fantastic, good luck with the rest of your exam prep!

So that's what those are called.
I have been actually doing interleaving. I find it more effective to switch to subjects when studying/reviewing. And also retrieval practice, a technique that I do with this is to teach myself about the lessons. It really helps me a lot when I talk aloud and teach myself about the lessons I'm studying. I find both effective for me, but a bad habit I do is cram because I'm a procrastinator. I'm stressing my brain so much when I cram and use these styles. I'm about to start college soon and I'm definitely changing my habits for the better.
ARMY ??
@@rahmaoueslati8925 yas
@@Ky-mb9rl ARMY forever !!!!
@Alex Turner thanks
Mind to tell me what is cramming???
Very good advice. The only problem is I can’t wait 3 days between study sessions of each subject, as I have the same class everyday and would have behind studying the material
Adapt where appropriate ;)
I hardly comment but
I swear that blog was so awesome i was redirected from website to your yt channel.
Everyone other person tells to study but no one tells how to study?
I assume the People who know the correct way don't let other's know ...
Anyways thank you so much ❤️❤️😍🔥
Thanks for reminding me to back to my old style of studying.
Video and description: Amazing
‘’Spread our your study sessions’’ my teacher gave it to us two days ago and my test it tomorrow
Watch this video for that situation - th-cam.com/video/UIMI4Hh4PxU/w-d-xo.html
Sounds like he/she is giving you a quiz... not a major exam.
Cassidy Dorilas my teacher completed my syllabus yesterday and tomorrow is my exam😂
Full of memorization. Wooow.
Please start uploading again!I am preparing for USMLE exam and need your videos!
My school doesn't have ranks, but I do want to have the highest average in at least one class. I hope I can get more than one if I work hard enough!
dorqy same!
Every teachers trying to say to me that if i want to study then i have read the lessons five times then my mind be better . I dont no how that works for me but i trying to do my best as i could .After seeing this video now i know what to do and i thank you for that.🙂🙂🙂🙂
You're welcome
Concerning the learning style point. I learned in my Learning Frameworks class that in reality, all of us are multi sensory learners
Yes, we learn with all our senses, but we don't each have one best way to learn.
The last one is amazing! I did the ask explain and connect naturally without even realising it haha
Procrastination is my worst enemy 😖
Focus on taking a single step at a time. Choose one small thing and do that first. It's all about building momentum.
You've got this!
Young Moon Mine is over thinking, anxiety and intrusive thoughts..
Young Moon mine too...

I've done a part of this before. I was not aware of this video before, but there was a test coming and I had to study fast. It was sorta like Panic Cramming, but its a more effective way. I had to connect the ideas and explain them what they are and what makes them important.
I had somehow managed to retain the whole thing after the test for 2 weeks! 2 weeks I tell you. It was really scary that I still remember the information so irrelevant. I think it might be because of one of these methods to study effectively.
Im weird.. I can cram study things, basically forget it pretty soon, but all of it comes back within a week, or two. When it comes to new and complex topics, I can't do that, but with just a couple hours of studying and a couple nights of good rest Ill have it. But your idea makes sense.. All the small concepts build to a big concept, so go to the big concept and branch it out to small concepts. I can see how it would be super effective.
hey y'all who think that you're not good in studies or you are good but you want better. Just know that you are alr smart.
Okay , thankyou. This video is awaring me how I can be the smart student/people who get the high score for all math hhe
I will study now
You've got this!
My student, Meghan, said that this video has changed her life.
IM always scared to get things wrong in tests and important exams so i flick through my Notes and get down the key information and read through it but it didnt help but this video help a lot and now i know what to do

I, too, had to watch this video for class (a study skills course for mature and upgrading students). It was very well done - and I loved that you created an acronym (ANSWER) out of the strategies :)
Glad you liked it, I hope it helps with your future studies!
Lets try it!! wish it can works to me
I love ur ‘Your Lie In April’ pfp
did it reach her ?
these tips are amazing. honestly best video I've seen on TH-cam about study. great visuals too. helped me remember what you talked about lol.
Emm Garcia hahaha same!
Glad to see that you are still replying comments!
Of course ;)
Thank you so much for this! and for the posters too... they were amazing! 💟 Godspeed!
wow! this helped a LOT! i have exams soon and i’ve been studying, but this video helped me study better! thanks for this!
