@@seanjaynercabral6120 Consider recalling every point, term concept you study. This could mean every few minutes you put the book down and lecture to an imaginary class what you just studied and learned. Cheers to your studies!!!
After all the learning I've learned about learning, this 2 min video is like the perfect keystone or spark to get me finally studying smart. This just makes perfect sense.
The Freynman technique is one of the best I’ve ever used. I used it to get a 85% in physics. It builds off the concept or understanding how things work, concept learning, instead of memorizing for multiple choice. I’ve also found actually writing things out on a whiteboard while you’re explaining it is helpful too. For example, going over the concept of convection, and drawing the concept, helps for geography. Explaining the portions of the cell and what they do for biology and drawing the cell itself. I’m also a visual learner so I find whiteboard very helpful
This is the best fucking advice I ever heard about studying. I heard Cal Newport the very first time on august 12th, 2014. This is kind of fucked up. If I had heard about this guy earlier, it would have made a huge difference in the GPA I had at the University of California Los Angeles. I started using this strategy today, and I was able to understand the solution to a very difficult coding problem by explaining it out loud. Pretty cool, thanks Cal. Then I applied the same strategy and learned ten new words. Being a computer programmer, I'm going to use Cal's technique to skyrocket my coding skills. Thanks you, Cal. God bless you.

I have been successfully using Active Recall PLUS Spaced Repetition to memorize programming languages' syntax, gotchas, tips, and other details. I also use AR and SR to review vocabulary ans specific pieces of knowledge. The results have been being better than I ever imagined possible (as compared to passive reading notes and text in general). I use Anki, a spaced repetition software which runs on linux, windows, mac, android and iphone (and it is open source) to help me with reviewing. It is indeed more difficult than passive reading (remember: passive reading brings illusion of competence), and that is why most people don't use it. The tips on the video are 100% congruent with everything I had learned about the subject of "learning how to learn" myself. Thanks.
@@ibrahimn628 I have done a lot of research on this topic in the past. The two most important things I learned about “learning how to learn” using a Spaced Repetition Software (SRS) like Anki are: 1. We must realize that if we are really committed to learning something, we don't just create notes/cards in any way that comes to mind. Using Spaced Repetition Techniques (through Anki for instance) requires knowledge so that you do things properly in a manner that brings the most benefit. 2. A SRS like Anki is not meant to LEARN something, but to practice active recall on stuff one HAS ALREADY LEARNED. Downloading decks from other people doesn't help much because you are not reviewing stuff YOU learned. It is much more effective to create cards yourself, from things YOU are studying. Creating the cards - just as making notes on paper or a summary to study for an exam - helps a lot in our understanding of the subject being mastered. Then comes the practical side of the equation which is actually making cards with the content one wants to memorize (active recall practice). Again, the more you know about it, the better and more effective are the cards you create. Below are some links to posts that helped me on this subject. I have made a post a few years ago touching on some of the points I learned about Anki: fernandobasso.dev/learning/anki-srs-intro-how-to-use-concepts-ideas-improve-knowledge-retention.html And some of the other important stuff I read about Spaced Repetition and Anki itself: apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html www.supermemo.com/en/articles/20rules sivers.org/srs www.jackkinsella.ie/articles/janki-method
@@FernandoBasso I've checked out your website and I think you're quite on the track regarding how to learn, have you checked out Ali Abdaal's TH-cam channel? I think he pretty much highlights your points of Active Recall and Spaced Repetition with his own experience.
@Psyborg Punk Meaning you do not know the answer while quizzing yourself? Then you mark it as a trouble area that needs more review. Othewise, you will have to rephrase your question or give an example.
Omg...I do this EXACT thing!! I think of an something or see something on youtube and pause it to explain it to an imaginary person! It tells me right away how much I understand what I'm saying. Theres something about verbalizing utter rubbish that tell you instantly - I clearly don't know what I'm talking about! Then I'll often have that imaginary person ask questions or refute what I'm saying and I'll respond. It reveals logical inconsistencies and imprecise language.

@@seanjaynercabral6120 1. Read about the topic. 2. Make a quiz based on that topic, when making the quiz jot how many points you want to give your self for each question, 1 point= 1 explanation/description, you can do this in a notepad( one page for questions, next page for answers). 3. Quiz yourself on one topic frequently. 4.Now the quiz gives you knowledge, but you need to apply it by practicing questions, from there also you can create new quizzes based of the new questions you encountered.

Slim Shady probably but isn't that just called recalling? I don't think or at least have not seen people say active recall in conversations that isn't related to learning techniques.
Slim Shady why do you want to know how it changed him? If it's because of what cal newport said it's probably just helped him to learn better and you could get the same outcome by applying the technique cal newport talks about. And cal newport really knows hes stuff
Slim Shady yeah but there is a lot of benefits to doing it for example it will stick better because it organize what you learn in your brain better and that also helps understanding of it and it helps to pinpoint what you don't understand and you can then use that as a guideline to know what you should be focusing on in order to get it and explaining also helps to aviod the fluency illusion which is the illusion of thinking you understand but don't.

+Double Oten This means you have forgotten, this is why it is important to revise. You must continually use this method so the knowledge is retained in your long term memory.
+Double Oten check your notes, to see if you have explained the concepts correctly. If you havent explained it correctly without looking at the notes then read your notes again ( i.e. review them). Hope this helps
+Max Payne In my experience, don't try to explain the WHOLE concept at once then. Do it small piece by small piece. Some material is too difficult to understand a large portion of at once. If you have to do it a couple of sentences at a time, do that. Just make sure you actually "understand" what you read and are about to explain. Take understanding to mean at that moment you can explain it professionally to someone else with confidence.
I put questions on a cue card and the answer on the back, I learn the answer and then I flip to the question side of the card (with the answer on the back) and ask myself the question and make sure i know the answer. Is that active recall?

+eddie simply, take your notes and review them. Make sure you understand them otherwise this method won't be effective. Once you understand, then take a problem say a calculus or physics problem and solve that problem on a whiteboard/paper out loud as if you are teaching a class. You will get stuck, if you do go back to your notes. This is why Cal says it is mentally fatiguing, this is why this method is effective. Keep repeating this until you can solve all the problems by explaining the methods/concepts out loud without looking at your notes. Then its just a case of revision until your final exams. For revision you just keep on doing this method, Simple! Hope that helps.
Hi there Eddie, yes I have heard of the feynman technique and do use it myself. I combine it with the active recall technique i.e. I use analogies as suggested by scott h young when i teach out loud as suggested by cal newport. It works wonders. Also good luck my friend

@@AlexMartinez-mq8rm Hi, im trying to implement this on my current courses. Would you mind giving the step by step way on how to apply the active recall that Cal mentioned?Thanks.Appreciate it.
Yeah, I'll try my best. The key thing to realize is that active recall is just the act of retrieving information from memory. You don't need to follow an established set of rules or a step-by-step process. Cal explains in his book (How to become a straight-A student) that for non-technical courses (like psychology), write down some questions and answer them out loud. For technical ones, solve math problems from scratch and without looking at your notes. Bottom line: remember the material from memory without any help from your notes or textbook. But why? A good analogy for studying is like playing soccer. Do you want to be a good player? Practice kicking the ball. Don't expect to get good only by watching soccer matches all day. Do you want to remember what you study? Practice recalling and do so by answering questions. Don't expect to remember stuff only by re-reading your notes or textbook. If you re-read your notes or textbook, you are practicing recognition, not recalling, which "active recall" is all about. The only thing that Cal missed is the spaced repetition concept. Watch Ali Abdaal's How To Study for Exams videos. Or google it. Active recall + spaced repetition = the two most powerful learning strategies
Cal Newport validated an idea I have been using for the past 20 years. I had read a proverb "To Teach is to learn Twice" and that changed my approach to studying.

So quick question
When reading
Should one take notes or should they just actively recall as you read through a text book
id say its a good idea to minimize the notetaking and just do active recall.

No the questions on one side and the answer is on the other, i memorize the answer side then flip to the question side and try to recall
