    So if you search TH-cam for evidence-based study techniques you'll be presented with loads and loads of videos on #activerecall and #spacedrepetition from students and experts and it makes it seem as though these are the only learning techniques that you need and if you use them you'll definitely ace your exams or learn effectively.
    The problem is that the sheer volume of videos and opinions means it can be super confusing to actually know how to apply these learning techniques to your own studies and to actually understand when to use them.
    I dive into why #encoding and cognitive load theory (CLT) are as important if not more important to efficient learning than active recall and spacing and how you can apply these less-hyped learning theories to study smarter, not harder, get better grades and make learning stick.

      @@sarasaif8414 This is where the concept of scaffolding is key. Techniques like "speed reading" are not effective because you can you can read a book in an hour and remember every detail (you can't). They are effective because you can see what the key ideas are and how they relate to other ideas that come later. Once you are comfortable with what the big ideas are, you come back and focus on more detail around how an idea relates to other ideas that are important to a topic.

    I love this. I have ADHD and I struggle with issues with cognitive load. As part of our executive functioning deficiencies, we have significantly less working memory capacity. I call it my "three things" rule. AKA, I know I can typically only hold three chunks at a time. Far less than the average 7-9.
    So a lot of these strategies are things I've figured out naturally over the years because I have an absolute need to get things into long-term memory as efficiently and quickly as possible. Even just to be able to carry on a simple conversation for more than a few minutes.

      @@RameshKumar-ng3nf From what I got scaffolding is about gradually introducing your brain to more complex topics. Going step by step, having each one explained and understood thoroughly. Think about it like building something with a steady foundation, going up little by little as your understanding grows and deepens. If you're into calisthenics like me you can think about it like slowly building up the fundamental movements/strength and developing the more advanced skills/progressions over time as you improve/master the previous.
      TLDR: Work your way up step by step, building a solid understanding of each step and how it relates to the previous. Increasing complexity over time.

      This is how I understood the 6 items:
      1. Activate Prior Knowledge: Review related information already known.
      2. Organize the information: Group and link information.
      3. Deep Processing:
      - Try to understand the concepts
      - Think about meaning and connection to related information
      - Think of information and apply to past experience
      4. Distribute Practice: Learn in small chunks.
      5. Scaffolding: Start with basic information before moving to more complex.
      Bonus. Modality Effect: Mix different sensory learning types.

    I worked out a way to use active recall in my studies as a math student. we have a lot of definitions, properties and theorems with proofs to learn, on top of that there is problem solving of course, but the starting point is learning the theory. when I finish studying a topic from a book (reading, asking myself questions, analyzing, etc.) I open a new empty page and try to write down as much as I remember, taking into account how the pieces of information are related. I find it extremely effective when I kinda learned the topic, but need a refresher for an exam. it also helps with structuring information and really seeing what needs the most work. while doing this, I can very clearly see at which parts of the topic I am fluent, reorganizing the information comes easy and there is a natural flow. on the other hand there are parts for which I rely on the order of recalling the details, this is an obvious sign that this part requires more work

    For me, deep focus means not taking breaks that disrupt concentration. Once I get fully focused 4 hours can go by without me noticing. That focused feeling is very enjoyable. Having said that what works for one person might not work for another. I have a programmer nephew who takes a break every 20 mins and that seems to work for him.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:00 📚 Active recall and spaced repetition may not be as effective as commonly believed.
    01:12 🧠 To understand their effectiveness, it's important to grasp how learning and cognitive load work.
    08:13 📖 Cognitive Load Theory explains how our short-term memory processes information and why overloading it hinders learning.
    12:56 📊 To optimize learning, reduce intrinsic cognitive load by simplifying complex topics, minimize extraneous cognitive load by focusing on relevant information, and maximize germane cognitive load by connecting new knowledge to existing concepts.
    17:28 💡 Strategies for effective learning include activating prior knowledge, organizing information, and deep processing through elaborative rehearsal and real-life examples.
    20:57 🧠 Surface-level processing of information results in non-durable learning, emphasizing the importance of meaningful engagement with new content.
    21:10 📚 Distributing your learning over time, rather than cramming, is essential for effective learning and memory retention.
    21:52 💤 Taking breaks, exercising, and getting a good night's sleep aid memory consolidation, a biological process for creating memories.
    22:06 🚴 Scaffolding, like using worked examples, reduces cognitive load when learning complex topics and helps in understanding their application.

    What i dislike about active recall is that i am somewhat dependent on the question format (best verbatim) and had some problems integrating it into more abstract questions, where some higher level was asked. sometimes i was thrown off if the answer options where somewhat similar to other things i learned ->then my prof would just start mixing pieces of correct answers until i couldnt tell what was what. so he was was priming me to recall wrong connections

    Alex, that was brilliant. As you spoke,I noticed you putting into practice exactly what you were talking about : building a schema, small chunks, worked examples,,,etc.
    I attend a lot of IT seminars...and I realise (now), just how poorly most of the speakers present ...and its NOT me failing to understand (one usually goes to talks about what one DOESN'T [yet] understand, rather than things you DO). I often take notes of what presenters do wrong... one thing they rarely do, is to build up a coplex diagram gradually, rather they just present the whole graphic of the system in toto...very high CL going on there - plus there's a lag in simply processing the image visually.

    Here we have 40 to 50 textbook pages a day, five days a week (plus some added classes here and there the afternoons), for 3 and a half month then we get an exam (multiple answers) that covers those 3,5 months. Rince and repeat next semester. No extra time to study in between (they give us like 4 days between the last lesson and the first day of exams... so dumb...)
    We just don't have enough time to craft anything fancy in such a short amount of time.
    What do you mean by "chunking info" ? I have those 50 pages a day that I have to gulp down, and actually there isn't a lot of irrelevant info so most of it has to get drilled. What's the point of chunking if I still have to get this content done (I can't take 15 naps a day or take to much time to chop the lessons of the day, as I have all the previous lessons that I have to keep fresh, as I must stay sharp 3+ month later on whatever topic and no amount of technique will allow that with a single study session).
    Just to clarify, I always begin by deeply understanding the topic at hand, taking my time the first time I read it (even if I will surely understand it even deeper by reviewing it).
    Highlighting / erasing stuff just to cut as much fat as possible to allow for faster reviews (so highlighting only for subsequent speed, not in a deluded way hoping to learn from it)
    Basically, my schedule consists in reading and understanding those 50 pages during the first 4 hours of the day. The actual learning will mostly take place the following day when I perform the first review whilst active recalling / Feynman's technique on the fly until it's good. (So just after midday workout + lunch).
    Then I proceed to review the previous weeks content (classic spaced repetition) to avoid forgetting it. It's stressful to be studying that much having to also hurry up. Really frustrating.
    We dont have much training material, only the previous years exam, which isn't that much questions but above all isnt guaranteed to be relevant as teacher can have changed or the content be outdated. They also dont give us corrections...
    It takes me all day (I have a small part time job on the side, so I have to keep everything tight).
    I'm managing somewhat good grades, like 15,5/20 but that doesnt feel really satisfying for rushing so much. (Taking into account that I was too lazy the first half of the semester, I gotta fix that, but even then my method always seems to ask for a goal greater than what can be humanly done which fosters a stressful vibe).
    I'll try to think more about "how is this knwoledge supposed to serve me in an IRL situation, in a real clinical case" to cut the fluff and to emulate what would be "practicing a skill" (which seems to be the pinnacle of memorisation : actually "doing")
    However, I can't allocate anymore time to "tailor" the material further (like mindmaps or any stuff along those lines).
    Also, I don't have any audio source. Should I read aloud, or speak outloud while free recalling ?
    Could you or anyone point me toward an example of how to really implement all those advice in my context, knowing that I must keep previous knowledge sharp along the way ?
    (Medschool as well).
    Thank you so much 🙏

    Very informative video, however, the background music is a perfect illustration of an extraneous cognitive load. To maximize learning, ditch the background music. The music has nothing whatsoever to do with the message you are trying to get across and only increases the amount of auditory information that the viewer needs to process.

    For some things like learning 100 kanji per day, it's necessary to use spaced repetition organized in a comprehensive way, combined with writing, scaffolding and sentences that only introduce one new word at a time with audio and pictures. Getting feedback where your comprehension is falling short and automatically scheduling reviews is invaluable when learning such extreme amounts of information and keeping it retained for life.
    For understanding and applying knowledge though, the Feynman technique is much more effective, especially when you can explain why something is important.
    Ultimately, there is no one size fits all approach to learning. All these techniques have their advantages and weaknesses and must be applied accordingly. Nails require hammers and screws require screwdrivers. The structure being built in the mind must be engineered accordingly, taking into account its functionality, strength/robustness required and the constraints to build it, such access to learning resources, mentors and time.

      brain remembers images differently than words and ideas
      you don't increase load, you add more connections with different channels you don't use otherwise
      acronyms are only as good as your ability to recall what each letter ment and ease level of getting this acronym from brain
      its only organising information you know just can't piece together in one box or order
      imagining a story with each word or word similar to it will be faster less effortful and will add natural order that will stay in brain with very minimal repeat

    One of the things you are not taking into account is that most of the information involved in a university course is not required after you complete the course. A lot of the knowledge is only required to pass an exam and should be forgotten once it is no longer required.

    "Cognitive load just killed active recall".
    Please weigh in if I got something very wrong here.
    Tip 1: Activate prior knowledge - Are you meaning use active recall as a primer? I get that passive recall is also present here but it would seem some of the argument is for active recall right here. Maybe recall isnt dead lol especially if its literally the first part of the pipeline.
    Tip 2: its all about organization - well there is some argument I think for organising to help with schema/germane load but doesnt this argument kinda mimic the storage issues with note taking? Benjamin Keep (PhD) has a video about some of the issues around note taking and ultimately external storage instead of retrieval seems to be weaker for learning. Organising for the chunking effect is nice (who doesnt like germane load when you have the space for it?) , however who is deciding the chunking process? Novices could chunk inappropriately (errors) or in ineffective methods (for example is this a good conceptual model, or are you trying to chunk too much information?). Tip 2 could also turn into a "reliance on storage problem" wherein organising is done but because there isnt good recall opportunity....its done but poorly remembered/retrievable.
    Tip 3 Elaborative learning is deeper than fact/surface/rote - but isnt elaborative learning less about relating to yourself and moreso about being able to use defined characteristics over different contexts? These could be over areas such as why, how, where, when which relate back to analytical, evaluative, and other functional information.
    Tip 5 Scaffolding. No doubt is it helpful. But dont most people think of scaffolding as a step breakdown and introduction of more steps? (for example riding a bike in steps) Its not necessarily the same as worked examples (which is a top down view to a task). Tip 5 is true but unclear also because depending on the task and the level of complexity, scaffolding would look very different. Tip 5, while it is supported in evidence, scaffolding may have alot of possible interpretations of it (i think). I havent looked too much at your other videos - but hopefully there is something there about scaffolding (task simplification or task decomposition, ironically this cant be done solo for studying with ease in my opinion, its usually more of a facilitated learning technique)
    Bonus Tip - maybe best to just call it what it is, Dual coding. You are correct it is a form of memory management, but in reality understanding what is good dual coding is probably going to be most helpful.

      @@neilrichardson7454 Thats good to hear - because you would have to. Retrieval strength is generally a bigger problem for learning than whether or not something has "landed" (encoded).
      Its important that anyone who describes cognitive load:
      1) Describe it as a sequence and where its placement is in the science of learning - otherwise people are going to be very very misled. They may think, lets focus on part 3 when part 1 (attention) is nonexistent.
      2) Describe good and bad parts/examples to cognitive load. This means describing how to tell if its too excessive, how to use strategies to reduce.
      3) optional - but helpful - the interplay between cognitive load and the other sequential parts of HIP (Human information processing). This is because often a strategy will actually impact more than 1 part of the HIP. For example reducing how much information someone has to look at is likely to both increase attentional resources on something (the first process of HIP) as well as cognitive load (visual information and element interactivity may be lower by comparison to another condition of not doing it- the opportunity cost). Its almost a fallacy to discuss some changes as only occurring at one level when it is a multi-level or multi-causal event.

      Yep great question. I’m recording a time management series at the moment.
      In essence whatever you’re doing tends to fill up time allocated (due to something called Parkinson’s Law).
      There are some steps and mindset changes (like reducing perfectionism) that can really speed things up together with your technique.

    How can the "long-term" memory even in theory be infinite? Information must be stored by changing the states of something, whatever those may be, in your brain, and the matter in your brain is finite. You can't express an infinite amount of information using finite matter. My question has been, how much information we can remember until trying to remember more information would erase some of the existing information in the brain (overwriting).
