I literally watched this video yesterday and I thought I needed to return here to say this; both your methods work! I tried both your methods (recall and memory surfing) and I couldn't believe it! I studied the material, went away for an hour, returned and sat with my thoughts for a few moments trying to recall what I'd read earlier, and what do you know - most of it came rushing back to me! And all I had to work with were written down terms of the disciplines as prompts and that's all it took to recall vast amounts of text on these! I am so proud of this! Thank you both for imparting this active recall tip, it certainly has transformed the game for me!
@@indonesiashounen8168 1)you read your material, you try to understand it, NOT just read it, then try to use your memory to make a point. like how would you explain it to someone else ? 2) after doing that session, try to ask yourself some questions (better to write it down), things that are important to understand the concept. take a break come back, and try to answers those questions, WITHOUT use the material/notes whatever. the brain works like a path in a forest. if everyone walks in the same place, you are gonna see a path forming. if no one ever goes in the same place, well you are not gonna see a path. the same things for our brain. you need to go back just using your memory and try to access that information, and more you do it, the more efficient it becomes. is not about writing things down, is about understanding the CONCEPT. (and yeah you can write it down is helps as well) i usually dont need to write things down, but you have to understand what you are studying in order to remember. just reading and writing the stuff down what you just wrote, would not do much. (because you are not gonna to remember if you dont understand )
I also did the same without even knowing about it. I used to read a chapter, learn the basic idea and concepts and then close the book, trying to recall most of what I read and if I missed something I would open the book and again recall it a while later. Helped me top my school every year.
Bro one doubt 1st you need to understand it right simply reading will give you idea please tell whya to do exactly I mean step by step well I'm struggling
Great concept, the active recall.. the I struggled with it pile makes sense. I think identifying the items we struggle with then setting aside, makes more sense than stressing over those items at the moment. Focusing on the positive or what you have mastered makes more sense. Then going back to master ones you need to take more time on. Sounds like a great learning system.. Thanks for sharing
Cal Newport's emphasis on active recall is a game-changer for anyone serious about learning efficiently! 💡 It's impressive how switching from passive to active learning methods can significantly boost information retention and academic performance.
Active recall can be applied by methods of memorization such as mind maps, index card categorization, among other techniques. Active recall is the most time efficient and mentally draining way of learning currently known. But it can lead to great fundamental learning, which can be helpful for grasping advanced knowledge “better”.
I Read the book " how to be a straight A student" hoghlighted and took notes. I was taking Organic Chem and doing horribly. I emailed Cal Newport when I was struggling on tips. He emailed me back on tips. We communicated through email on studying throughout the semester. Hes a really good guy. I made it out of that class due to his input. Thank you Cal !🎉
That’s such an inspiring story! Cal Newport’s advice has helped so many people, and it’s amazing that he took the time to guide you personally. Organic Chem is no joke, so making it through with his tips speaks volumes about both his methods and your determination. We love how stories like this highlight the power of mentorship and the right tools. For staying focused during study sessions, pairing his strategies with calming background sounds, like lo-fi music, can be a game-changer too. Here’s to more wins like this one!

Back in college, I started out taking lots of notes during class lectures, by the time I left, I found it was way better just to take a brief moment to go back over, mentally, the lecture, get up, and go on to the next class, and I no longer had to take any notes. It worked quite well for me.
Cal Newport had to give up Rowing, something he loved, because of a heart condition. By his own words, if it werent for that, he'd never have become the powerhouse of studying and gone on to help 100s of 1000s of students around the world. Remember that next time life throws you a curveball.
Summary (with chapter timestamps): This video discusses the active recall study method, where one tries to remember information without looking at notes, and how it is more effective than passive methods like highlighting. Both Dr. Huberman and Dr. Newport share their experiences with using active recall and how it transformed their learning. 0:02 📖 Old vs New Study Methods • Dr. Huberman describes his old study method of highlighting and underlining. • He learned from a study that active recall is more effective. • He now reads, steps away, tries to recall, and then checks his notes. 1:27 🧠 Active Recall Explained • Dr. Newport wrote a book based on interviews with straight-A students. • The core idea was active recall: replicating information from scratch. • This method is mentally taxing but time-efficient and leads to better retention. 2:47 🏆 Personal Transformation • Dr. Newport shares his personal experience of improving his grades. • He experimented with study methods after a heart condition stopped him from rowing. • Active recall transformed him from a good to a top student. 4:35 📝 Implementing Active Recall • Dr. Newport rebuilt his study methods around active recall. • He used white paper for math and a specific note-taking method for humanities. • He became very efficient and didn't need to do all-nighters. 5:57 🔬 Neuroanatomy with Active Recall • Dr. Huberman shares how he learned neuroanatomy using active recall. • He would look at tissue samples, try to recall circuits, and then check notes. • This method helped him build a strong mental map of neuroanatomy. ** Generated using ✨ VidSkipper AI Chrome Plugin
Why isn't everyone talking about Hidden Learning Techniques on Shirlest? I mean, the depth and clarity of the information are just stunning. I feel like I've unlocked a new level of learning.
My method is this 1) understand the material repeatedly few times. If needed then visualise the material, and even more better to reflect. 2) active recall the mateiral either speaking or write in own words. 3) repeat above immediately few more times. 4) space repetition.
Yes... when u are willing to go through the pain of not assuming you know what you just learnt but instead confirming that you know what you just learnt by bringing it out... by teaching it... and going back and noticing that you retained 40 - 50 percent of what you learnt and go back and repeat and repeat while doing so time efficiently, not only will you be an academic weapon, you will be the best of your peers Edit: This does not apply to those with eidetic memory
Discovering Hidden Time Wealth has been one of the best things I've done for my productivity. It feels like I’ve finally cracked the code to overcoming procrastination.
Powerful Teaching by Pooja Agarwhal and Patrice Bain utilize this method, but for teachers to help students in class. She calls them "power tools" active recall, spacing, interleaving, and feedback driven metacognition. Game changer for teachers.
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
Spaced repetition has been a game-changer for memory retention! One of the key benefits is how it tackles the forgetting curve by revisiting information at optimized intervals. Pairing this with active recall can really deepen understanding. Anyone who’s learning something new can definitely benefit from this method-it’s a brain workout! 💡
replicating the information from scratch as if you are teaching a class without looking at your notes - indeed, active recall is a difficult task for the mind to take on - i don't know quite how to describe the feeling in trying this for the first time as a conscious effort - it is destabilizing until...blessings to all
When you gain a deeper understanding of the neuroscience behind emotions and behaviors, it's like lifting the veil on the mechanisms that drive human experience. Suddenly, the simple joys of day-to-day life may seem less spontaneous and more deterministic, as I realize how various neural pathways and chemical processes influence your thoughts and feelings. This newfound awareness sometimes dampen the excitement of mundane tasks, as I become more attuned to the underlying neural patterns at play. It's akin to seeing the gears and cogs behind the scenes of a once-magical performance-it doesn't necessarily diminish the beauty of the show, but it does alter the perception of it. So what are your thoughts on that can you explain in a video please 😊
Information. It is neat to learn about things, and in my time alive I have learned a great many academic things. But learning such things has not brought me any happiness, quite the opposite actually as learning new things I find to be a painful and tedious process overall, and I actually think the less someone knows about the universe the better life experience they can live. For example I think Indians probably lived the most true or ideal lifestyle, hunting and gathering, having sex with a wife every night, raising kids, going to war with neighboring clans, passing down information in the form of stories and legends, everything like the wind and rain is magic and was due to divine intervention etc.
@@KEKW-lc4xidefinitely learning new things makes life difficult because we create a confusion in our brain We start altering all our opinions on many things which were developed before So our judgments, decision making, problem solving everything gets affected by new learning And these new things can't fit well in the environment which was being followed conventionally I suffered a lot after knowing about psychology, the selfishness of human beings, the greed of human beings, the manipulations people are doing to us, till then I didn't know anything so I was very peaceful and normal But now I can understand the intentions of people behind their actions, so now I can't act normal but I can't loose them, because it's natural to be selfish and greedy So at starting i have suffered this a lot But I didn't stop learning, then I also found out why suffering happens Then I got clarity and I understood how to deal everything without loosing happiness and magic in life We just have to open up everything to everyone Drama ends there We may think if we speak truth, they may hurt or develop negative opinion on us No when our intention is not bad, they understand it because they know their intentions are not right ethically, morally Yes Indians lived a perfectly balanced life, the culture allowed people to live selfish life and benefits of being together
Recommendation for further reading: The concept "retrieval practice" from Dr. Pooja Agarwal is very similar to "active recall". Dr. Agarwal wrote several books on this topic proving our efficient this method is. You can also find her on TH-cam talking about this concept.
This method is how I memorized a book with 604 pages and 77,797 words . I was 8 years when I started , It took me two years to do from 7 am to 6 pm in every single day for 6 days in the week .
Oh this is so good and concise. Just when I wanted to start learning seriously again. I remember my best results also came from active recall via writing notes during college or at the very least explaining it to someone else from scratch. There is a fun component to this too.lets do thisss
Active recall is such a powerful tool! It’s amazing how much more you retain when you’re actively engaging with the material, whether through writing or teaching it to someone else. Studies show it’s one of the most effective ways to strengthen memory and understanding. Plus, adding that “fun component” makes it feel less like a chore and more like a challenge. We’re excited for you-getting back into learning with that mindset is such a win. Pairing it with a relaxing lo-fi playlist might even make study sessions feel a bit more enjoyable. Let’s do thisss indeed! 💪
I was skeptical at first, but Hidden Learning Techniques on Shirlest has opened my eyes to so many new ways of thinking. It’s a treasure trove of knowledge!
Just Wow 😲 to see Dr. Cal Newport (author of books like Deep work & how to become a straight-A student..etc) .... I invite everyone who wants to learn about studying to read those books, Hola🙌
One key reason underlining, margin notes, and highlighting don't work for really learning material is that every time you look at the text you highlighted, you think "Yeah I remember that." But you don't really _remember_ it, you just _recognize_ it. Big difference! Flashcards and other ways of simulating taking a pop quiz on the material force you to actually recall what the answer is, instead of just recognizing the information when you see it. That's why active recall works so well. Repeated exposure to the material plus having to actively recall it is a powerful combination, and if you can apply it, that's even better. (Don't just read about how to cut a dovetail joint, do it. Don't just memorize a Python syntax, write a short program that uses it...) Regarding physical flashcards: If you cut 3x5 index cards in half, you get 2.5x3 inch cards (about the size of standard poker cards) They're big enough for most flashcard Q&A and they fit in your pocket easily.
Sorry My English I'm in my first semester I have isue time management when I spend my time some subjects I forgot other ones when I go back to other ones same than I forgot and also most of my time is learning I dont've revision time I'm confused , do you think you can help me time table?
It's funny what they are talking about active recall. I have always been straight As student for the most part. I always seemed to get things faster than other people. When I would study I would always try to visualize or paint a mental map in my head of the concept I studied and go over it few times in my head, making sense of it. It always helped me better to retain those information later on the course work. I have been able to take test without studying too much because its all still would be in my head for the most part. I have always talked to myself about a concept like I am talking to a person and trying to explain it and sound it out. If you cannot explain something well then you havent understood it better. But then I always go back to my notes to recall those details, otherwise I might forget it
That’s such an impressive way to approach studying-it’s like you’ve built your own personal system for active recall and deeper learning. Visualizing concepts and creating mental maps taps into spatial memory, which studies show can significantly boost retention. And explaining concepts to yourself? That’s the Feynman technique in action-one of the most effective ways to solidify understanding. We agree that revisiting notes to fill in gaps is essential, even with a strong memory system like yours. It’s amazing how these methods not only help retain information but also train your brain to think critically and connect dots faster. It sounds like you’ve cracked the code on making learning both effective and sustainable! What concept was your favorite to “map out” during school?
@@CafeCloudBeats I don't remember my high school time too much, to be honest. I am 33 now. My high school was pretty easy for me to use those skills. I would say I had to use active recalling more during college when things got harder. I am in the IT field, so I remember we had to learn a lot of different concepts, such as different security types and processes. There were simply way too many concept. But Mapping out different security concept was fun and I remember those for sure. I would say my critical thinking skill has improved because of that. It helped me see pattern and the big picture. I am pursuing higher education so I use them for my studies a lot now. I would always talk to myself during studies and people around me would make fun of me. I didnt have to apply myelf as muc as I did in college and higher education afterward.
I used to do this when I was a kid, a for some reason I stopped. Let's give it another try. They also forgot to mention that you have somehow to UNDERSTAND what's there otherwise it's impossible to remember anything effectively.
For the total of zero of you wondering ... the heart condition he is talking about is called Wolf-Parkinsons White syndrome. The condition is a congenital defekt where an individual is born with an extra ectopic atrial cerutry that bypass the AV-node leading to ventricular takycardia
Fantastic insight guys. Absolutely spot on, active recall is indeed the bane and critical point that cements information into long term gain. Harder done than first meets the eye. Once we get students to understand this and work towards this process, its an exciting step into unlocking human potential. Keep spreading the good message. May Allah accept your good deeds. Peace.
Huberman so chill. He asked about prolapse because that could've caused his Atrial flutter he did not need an explanation about the disease lol but he handled that man-explaination well

In this discussion, the speakers focus on effective learning strategies, particularly active recall. 1. Initial Method: They initially relied on highlighting and note-taking, which proved less effective for retention. 2. Active Recall: Stepping away from the material to remember key points enhances learning. This technique is more mentally challenging but leads to better outcomes. 3. Personal Transformation: One speaker shares how active recall helped him achieve a perfect GPA after he shifted his focus on studying due to health issues. 4. Efficiency: Despite its difficulty, active recall is time-efficient and promotes long-term retention through self-testing and retrieval practices.
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
Dr. Cal Newport and Dr. Andrew Huberman provide several tips for effective studying and learning: 1. Active Recall: Actively retrieve information from memory instead of passive review. 2. Spaced Repetition: Spread out study sessions over time for better retention. 3. Focused Study Sessions: Dedicate distraction-free periods for intense study. 4. Interleaving Practice: Mix different topics or subjects during study sessions. 5. Regular Review: Frequently review material to reinforce memory and understanding.
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
I never learned "how to learn" in school. My high school was terrible. It took me 2 years in undergrad to "learned how to learn" and what that actual meant. I went to Nursing school and have a BSN and worked in a NICU for 22 years. It's hard to believe that I actually graduated from college, basically because I memorized everything. Get this... my GPA was a 3.0 in nursing school, but I had a high honor score on state boards. Go figure.... I then went back to school for teaching. It was during my student teaching, that I thought I had actually "learned how to learn" and what that meant. However, when I taught first grade during my first year, my students were not learning and it scared me. So, I really had to examine my practice and change it immediately. "Even during student teaching, the students were not learning like I thought they should have". My secret is.... review the same concept everyday day in a different way and have a student come up to the board to "teach the lesson". Within that year, my 1st grade students were learning multiplication and division and higher level fractions. They scored in the 3rd grade on the MAPS NWEA assessment. Standing in line waiting, I would ask them questions to review. During recess play time, we reviewed verbally facts. New content was taught in 10 minutes, and then I reviewed other content from the week. I spent more time in reviewing than introducing new content, At first, I was concerned that I wouldn't get through the curriculum in a year, but I did. I now have a Granddaughter, and I am teaching my son how to teach her and if I have my way, she will be reading at 3 years old.
The part about applying active recall to neuroanatomy really stuck with me. If it works for something as complex as that, it’s gotta work for anything! I’m thinking of trying this for language learning-has anyone experimented with active recall for that?
Hello, Mr. Huberman, I have seen some of your videos on learning and memory, it was quite a stint. I am currently learning a lot, and as an adult with ADHD. The recommendations you make refer to learning processes in general. However, I would be very interested to know if there are any studies or findings that relate specifically to learning musical instruments and learning songs. It's a combination of mental and physical learning, musicians like to talk about muscle memory, which they have to train. Wouldn't that be an interesting topic for a video of its own? Perhaps a little shorter, because musicians won't follow a two-hour lecture in its entirety, but will probably want the quintessence of the findings and direct, practical recommendations.
✨Summary by VideoToWords - Active recall involves trying to recall information from memory without looking at notes or materials, and is one of the most effective learning techniques - Dr. Newport discovered the power of active recall in college when experimenting with study methods, leading to straight A's after struggling initially - Active recall is mentally taxing but highly time efficient for learning and retaining information in a vivid way - The process involves reading material, stepping away, attempting to recall key points from memory, then checking the material to reinforce gaps - Active recall allows the learner to build a dynamic mental map of the information which can be navigated like a physical space - Dr. Huberman used active recall techniques extensively to master neuroanatomy by mentally visualizing brain structures and pathways - While challenging, active recall is advocated as the optimal technique for deeply encoding information into long-term memory
Convincing concept. But what I would like to hear more on, is not so much how to get knowledge into ones brain, but how that ‘storage’ helps in performance. You might have all the knowledge in the world in your brain, but if you cannot effectively retrieve and use it, it’s pretty useless. As a teacher in economics, I found that my ‘straight A students’ were good at flexible application of the concepts they had studied. With flexible I mean being able to apply them in situations/cases/questions they hadn’t exercised during class.
You’re absolutely right-knowledge is only as valuable as our ability to retrieve and apply it. Studies suggest that the real magic lies in building contextual fluency -the ability to adapt and use concepts in unfamiliar scenarios. Straight-A students often excel because they focus not just on memorization but on deeper learning techniques like interleaved practice, where they mix different types of problems, and elaboration, where they connect new ideas to existing knowledge. As an economics teacher, you’ve likely seen firsthand how this flexible application separates good students from great ones. Encouraging students to approach concepts creatively-like relating them to real-world scenarios or discussing their applications-can make a huge difference. It’s fascinating how much performance depends not just on what’s stored in the brain but how it’s organized for retrieval. Flexible thinkers truly have the edge!
As an Asian (not flexing), but also an A+ or 5.0 GPA bearer, it's quite fascinating for me to hear that people in the West are very content and happy with having A's.
I got through college with with 3.6 GPA using digital flashcards using closed deletions of text copied out the text books. I spent hours everyday making new cards and testing cards.
How can I translate this into high school learning? I'm a history teacher and I'm always looking for innovative ways for my students to remember the contents on their textbook and from lecture
😂😂 do you understand the meaning of homework why do they give practice questions so that even out of fear of hw - we would sit and recall the concept we studied about in class.

@@sushil6509 well if you don't understand that doing the right thing will help you in future consciously by yourself. Then nobody can explain it you. Teachers always brag about doing well and personally giving attention to all kids....nah brahh you joking. If you can't get the feeling from within of growing no motivation no logic will make you want to grow. Believe me being a rebel in school is no wrong, its a great thing for those golden days. But atleast being a better student at academics helps you with your life and confidence.

So active recall is the term. We have to rewire our brain circuits by remembering the things we've studied with a break. Doing that makes the wires permanent
learning is actualy always "practicing memory" but is somehow devalved with word memory so people think "only memory?" but it is actualy olso and very hard to that

Hidden Time Wealth is such a game-changer! It’s like unlocking hours in your day that you didn’t even realize you had. Studies show that even small, intentional tweaks-like time blocking or habit stacking-can massively boost productivity and help overcome procrastination. We think the best part is how it turns the idea of “free time” into something intentional rather than accidental. It’s not just about having more hours but using them smartly. Honestly, feels like a cheat code for life! What’s your favorite trick for uncovering those hidden moments?

1)you read your material, you try to understand it, NOT just read it, then try to use your memory to make a point. like how would you explain it to someone else ?
2) after doing that session, try to ask yourself some questions (better to write it down), things that are important to understand the concept.
take a break
come back, and try to answers those questions, WITHOUT use the material/notes whatever.
the brain works like a path in a forest. if everyone walks in the same place, you are gonna see a path forming. if no one ever goes in the same place, well you are not gonna see a path.
the same things for our brain. you need to go back just using your memory and try to access that information, and more you do it, the more efficient it becomes.
is not about writing things down, is about understanding the CONCEPT. (and yeah you can write it down is helps as well)
i usually dont need to write things down, but you have to understand what you are studying in order to remember.
just reading and writing the stuff down what you just wrote, would not do much. (because you are not gonna to remember if you dont understand )
I also did the same without even knowing about it. I used to read a chapter, learn the basic idea and concepts and then close the book, trying to recall most of what I read and if I missed something I would open the book and again recall it a while later. Helped me top my school every year.

Thank you brother
Back in college, I started out taking lots of notes during class lectures, by the time I left, I found it was way better just to take a brief moment to go back over, mentally, the lecture, get up, and go on to the next class, and I no longer had to take any notes. It worked quite well for me.
That is great! Do you have a system to remember what you learned?
Cal Newport had to give up Rowing, something he loved, because of a heart condition. By his own words, if it werent for that, he'd never have become the powerhouse of studying and gone on to help 100s of 1000s of students around the world.
Remember that next time life throws you a curveball.
It could have also been an extremely depressing experience and I think that would have happened to me if I was him!
Summary (with chapter timestamps): This video discusses the active recall study method, where one tries to remember information without looking at notes, and how it is more effective than passive methods like highlighting. Both Dr. Huberman and Dr. Newport share their experiences with using active recall and how it transformed their learning.
0:02 📖 Old vs New Study Methods
• Dr. Huberman describes his old study method of highlighting and underlining.
• He learned from a study that active recall is more effective.
• He now reads, steps away, tries to recall, and then checks his notes.
1:27 🧠 Active Recall Explained
• Dr. Newport wrote a book based on interviews with straight-A students.
• The core idea was active recall: replicating information from scratch.
• This method is mentally taxing but time-efficient and leads to better retention.
2:47 🏆 Personal Transformation
• Dr. Newport shares his personal experience of improving his grades.
• He experimented with study methods after a heart condition stopped him from rowing.
• Active recall transformed him from a good to a top student.
4:35 📝 Implementing Active Recall
• Dr. Newport rebuilt his study methods around active recall.
• He used white paper for math and a specific note-taking method for humanities.
• He became very efficient and didn't need to do all-nighters.
5:57 🔬 Neuroanatomy with Active Recall
• Dr. Huberman shares how he learned neuroanatomy using active recall.

Amazing, you have >30 years and finally start to learn how to learn. Thanks Guys!
Why isn't everyone talking about Hidden Learning Techniques on Shirlest? I mean, the depth and clarity of the information are just stunning. I feel like I've unlocked a new level of learning.
hmm probably cuz ur a bot..
Thank god for Huberman and his great guests!
My method is this
1) understand the material repeatedly few times. If needed then visualise the material, and even more better to reflect.
2) active recall the mateiral either speaking or write in own words.
3) repeat above immediately few more times.
4) space repetition.
Yes... when u are willing to go through the pain of not assuming you know what you just learnt but instead confirming that you know what you just learnt by bringing it out... by teaching it... and going back and noticing that you retained 40 - 50 percent of what you learnt and go back and repeat and repeat while doing so time efficiently, not only will you be an academic weapon, you will be the best of your peers
Edit: This does not apply to those with eidetic memory
The concept of Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. It’s like finding a cheat code for productivity and defeating procrastination.
Discovering Hidden Time Wealth has been one of the best things I've done for my productivity. It feels like I’ve finally cracked the code to overcoming procrastination.
Started learning Harvard's CS50 2 days ago and I am also learning Computer science & Algorithms through Khan academy, it is dope
Powerful Teaching by Pooja Agarwhal and Patrice Bain utilize this method, but for teachers to help students in class. She calls them "power tools" active recall, spacing, interleaving, and feedback driven metacognition. Game changer for teachers.
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
Spaced repetition has been a game-changer for memory retention! One of the key benefits is how it tackles the forgetting curve by revisiting information at optimized intervals. Pairing this with active recall can really deepen understanding. Anyone who’s learning something new can definitely benefit from this method-it’s a brain workout! 💡
Thank you so much for this. I'm currently struggling in school but I hope your advice would help me.@@memorychatai

Nowadays these comments are obvious from a mile away 💀
You have a knack for storytelling. Well done! 🎥
replicating the information from scratch as if you are teaching a class without looking at your notes - indeed, active recall is a difficult task for the mind to take on - i don't know quite how to describe the feeling in trying this for the first time as a conscious effort - it is destabilizing until...blessings to all
What a lovely message. This video has transformed my academic life.
When you gain a deeper understanding of the neuroscience behind emotions and behaviors, it's like lifting the veil on the mechanisms that drive human experience. Suddenly, the simple joys of day-to-day life may seem less spontaneous and more deterministic, as I realize how various neural pathways and chemical processes influence your thoughts and feelings. This newfound awareness sometimes dampen the excitement of mundane tasks, as I become more attuned to the underlying neural patterns at play. It's akin to seeing the gears and cogs behind the scenes of a once-magical performance-it doesn't necessarily diminish the beauty of the show, but it does alter the perception of it. So what are your thoughts on that can you explain in a video please 😊
Really solid question, thank you for posting that.
Information. It is neat to learn about things, and in my time alive I have learned a great many academic things. But learning such things has not brought me any happiness, quite the opposite actually as learning new things I find to be a painful and tedious process overall, and I actually think the less someone knows about the universe the better life experience they can live. For example I think Indians probably lived the most true or ideal lifestyle, hunting and gathering, having sex with a wife every night, raising kids, going to war with neighboring clans, passing down information in the form of stories and legends, everything like the wind and rain is magic and was due to divine intervention etc.
Nah this brother used fucking chat gpt
@@KEKW-lc4xidefinitely learning new things makes life difficult because we create a confusion in our brain
We start altering all our opinions on many things which were developed before
So our judgments, decision making, problem solving everything gets affected by new learning
And these new things can't fit well in the environment which was being followed conventionally
I suffered a lot after knowing about psychology, the selfishness of human beings, the greed of human beings, the manipulations people are doing to us, till then I didn't know anything so I was very peaceful and normal
But now I can understand the intentions of people behind their actions, so now I can't act normal but I can't loose them, because it's natural to be selfish and greedy
So at starting i have suffered this a lot
But I didn't stop learning, then I also found out why suffering happens
Then I got clarity and I understood how to deal everything without loosing happiness and magic in life
We just have to open up everything to everyone
Drama ends there
We may think if we speak truth, they may hurt or develop negative opinion on us
No when our intention is not bad, they understand it because they know their intentions are not right ethically, morally
Yes Indians lived a perfectly balanced life, the culture allowed people to live selfish life and benefits of being together
Recommendation for further reading: The concept "retrieval practice" from Dr. Pooja Agarwal is very similar to "active recall".
Dr. Agarwal wrote several books on this topic proving our efficient this method is.
You can also find her on TH-cam talking about this concept.
This method is how I memorized a book with 604 pages and 77,797 words . I was 8 years when I started , It took me two years to do from 7 am to 6 pm in every single day for 6 days in the week .

Oh this is so good and concise. Just when I wanted to start learning seriously again. I remember my best results also came from active recall via writing notes during college or at the very least explaining it to someone else from scratch. There is a fun component to this too.lets do thisss
Active recall is such a powerful tool! It’s amazing how much more you retain when you’re actively engaging with the material, whether through writing or teaching it to someone else. Studies show it’s one of the most effective ways to strengthen memory and understanding. Plus, adding that “fun component” makes it feel less like a chore and more like a challenge.
We’re excited for you-getting back into learning with that mindset is such a win. Pairing it with a relaxing lo-fi playlist might even make study sessions feel a bit more enjoyable. Let’s do thisss indeed! 💪
I was skeptical at first, but Hidden Learning Techniques on Shirlest has opened my eyes to so many new ways of thinking. It’s a treasure trove of knowledge!
Just Wow 😲 to see Dr. Cal Newport (author of books like Deep work & how to become a straight-A student..etc) .... I invite everyone who wants to learn about studying to read those books, Hola🙌
One key reason underlining, margin notes, and highlighting don't work for really learning material is that every time you look at the text you highlighted, you think "Yeah I remember that." But you don't really _remember_ it, you just _recognize_ it. Big difference! Flashcards and other ways of simulating taking a pop quiz on the material force you to actually recall what the answer is, instead of just recognizing the information when you see it. That's why active recall works so well. Repeated exposure to the material plus having to actively recall it is a powerful combination, and if you can apply it, that's even better. (Don't just read about how to cut a dovetail joint, do it. Don't just memorize a Python syntax, write a short program that uses it...)
Regarding physical flashcards: If you cut 3x5 index cards in half, you get 2.5x3 inch cards (about the size of standard poker cards) They're big enough for most flashcard Q&A and they fit in your pocket easily.
Sorry My English
I'm in my first semester I have isue time management when I spend my time some subjects I forgot other ones when I go back to other ones same than I forgot and also most of my time is learning I dont've revision time I'm confused , do you think you can help me time table?
me watching this just before my college graduation.
Us bro😂
It's funny what they are talking about active recall. I have always been straight As student for the most part. I always seemed to get things faster than other people. When I would study I would always try to visualize or paint a mental map in my head of the concept I studied and go over it few times in my head, making sense of it. It always helped me better to retain those information later on the course work. I have been able to take test without studying too much because its all still would be in my head for the most part. I have always talked to myself about a concept like I am talking to a person and trying to explain it and sound it out. If you cannot explain something well then you havent understood it better. But then I always go back to my notes to recall those details, otherwise I might forget it
That’s such an impressive way to approach studying-it’s like you’ve built your own personal system for active recall and deeper learning. Visualizing concepts and creating mental maps taps into spatial memory, which studies show can significantly boost retention. And explaining concepts to yourself? That’s the Feynman technique in action-one of the most effective ways to solidify understanding.
We agree that revisiting notes to fill in gaps is essential, even with a strong memory system like yours. It’s amazing how these methods not only help retain information but also train your brain to think critically and connect dots faster. It sounds like you’ve cracked the code on making learning both effective and sustainable! What concept was your favorite to “map out” during school?
@@CafeCloudBeats I don't remember my high school time too much, to be honest. I am 33 now. My high school was pretty easy for me to use those skills. I would say I had to use active recalling more during college when things got harder. I am in the IT field, so I remember we had to learn a lot of different concepts, such as different security types and processes. There were simply way too many concept. But Mapping out different security concept was fun and I remember those for sure. I would say my critical thinking skill has improved because of that. It helped me see pattern and the big picture. I am pursuing higher education so I use them for my studies a lot now. I would always talk to myself during studies and people around me would make fun of me. I didnt have to apply myelf as muc as I did in college and higher education afterward.
I used to do this when I was a kid, a for some reason I stopped. Let's give it another try. They also forgot to mention that you have somehow to UNDERSTAND what's there otherwise it's impossible to remember anything effectively.
Yeah it's a good conversation for the new good learners. 👍
For the total of zero of you wondering ... the heart condition he is talking about is called Wolf-Parkinsons White syndrome. The condition is a congenital defekt where an individual is born with an extra ectopic atrial cerutry that bypass the AV-node leading to ventricular takycardia
Much needed collaboration, both are my favourite TH-camrs
Active recall is the essence of the Goldlist method for language learning.
Fantastic insight guys. Absolutely spot on, active recall is indeed the bane and critical point that cements information into long term gain. Harder done than first meets the eye. Once we get students to understand this and work towards this process, its an exciting step into unlocking human potential. Keep spreading the good message. May Allah accept your good deeds. Peace.
May Allah teach you to love all his people, especially women.

In this discussion, the speakers focus on effective learning strategies, particularly active recall.
1. Initial Method: They initially relied on highlighting and note-taking, which proved less effective for retention.
2. Active Recall: Stepping away from the material to remember key points enhances learning. This technique is more mentally challenging but leads to better outcomes.
3. Personal Transformation: One speaker shares how active recall helped him achieve a perfect GPA after he shifted his focus on studying due to health issues.
4. Efficiency: Despite its difficulty, active recall is time-efficient and promotes long-term retention through self-testing and retrieval practices.
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
Huberman x Justin Sung
Lets make this happen : )
Great idea
Dr. Cal Newport and Dr. Andrew Huberman provide several tips for effective studying and learning:
1. Active Recall: Actively retrieve information from memory instead of passive review.
2. Spaced Repetition: Spread out study sessions over time for better retention.
3. Focused Study Sessions: Dedicate distraction-free periods for intense study.
4. Interleaving Practice: Mix different topics or subjects during study sessions.
5. Regular Review: Frequently review material to reinforce memory and understanding.
I think this one going to change my perspective about study ing
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
Great topic, fast learning and skill aquisition are soo important!
Yeah.. I just personally found that if I do not recall things, then whatever I learned was a waste
Thank you so much, this was useful

Me 3
I never learned "how to learn" in school. My high school was terrible. It took me 2 years in undergrad to "learned how to learn" and what that actual meant. I went to Nursing school and have a BSN and worked in a NICU for 22 years. It's hard to believe that I actually graduated from college, basically because I memorized everything. Get this... my GPA was a 3.0 in nursing school, but I had a high honor score on state boards. Go figure....
I then went back to school for teaching. It was during my student teaching, that I thought I had actually "learned how to learn" and what that meant. However, when I taught first grade during my first year, my students were not learning and it scared me. So, I really had to examine my practice and change it immediately. "Even during student teaching, the students were not learning like I thought they should have". My secret is.... review the same concept everyday day in a different way and have a student come up to the board to "teach the lesson". Within that year, my 1st grade students were learning multiplication and division and higher level fractions. They scored in the 3rd grade on the MAPS NWEA assessment. Standing in line waiting, I would ask them questions to review. During recess play time, we reviewed verbally facts. New content was taught in 10 minutes, and then I reviewed other content from the week. I spent more time in reviewing than introducing new content, At first, I was concerned that I wouldn't get through the curriculum in a year, but I did.
I now have a Granddaughter, and I am teaching my son how to teach her and if I have my way, she will be reading at 3 years old.
The part about applying active recall to neuroanatomy really stuck with me. If it works for something as complex as that, it’s gotta work for anything! I’m thinking of trying this for language learning-has anyone experimented with active recall for that?
Me watching this when i have an exam tomorrow, and ive barely started studying! 😅
Cal Newport, thank you for putting things straight and clear! quite helpful :) Thank you! Andrew Huberman, you are my benchmark!
Is really Great Episode. Than you so much❤❤

Hello
I wish this was something I had figured out in College and in HS.
Short story even shorter: Quiz yourself
I would actually say review info periodically:D
Hello, Mr. Huberman, I have seen some of your videos on learning and memory, it was quite a stint. I am currently learning a lot, and as an adult with ADHD. The recommendations you make refer to learning processes in general. However, I would be very interested to know if there are any studies or findings that relate specifically to learning musical instruments and learning songs. It's a combination of mental and physical learning, musicians like to talk about muscle memory, which they have to train.
Wouldn't that be an interesting topic for a video of its own? Perhaps a little shorter, because musicians won't follow a two-hour lecture in its entirety, but will probably want the quintessence of the findings and direct, practical recommendations.
It is in interesting before I watch this video today I did exactly what he said I went through my brain to look for the things I couldn’t remember
Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. I’ve shared it with friends, and they’re all amazed at how much more productive they've become.
Active recall is the way to go!
Nope,I will never watch another Huberman podcast ever again ❤😢
My school isn't set up for this... meaning I need to make a system to program a way to do this into my studies.
✨Summary by VideoToWords
- Active recall involves trying to recall information from memory without looking at notes or materials, and is one of the most effective learning techniques
- Dr. Newport discovered the power of active recall in college when experimenting with study methods, leading to straight A's after struggling initially
- Active recall is mentally taxing but highly time efficient for learning and retaining information in a vivid way
- The process involves reading material, stepping away, attempting to recall key points from memory, then checking the material to reinforce gaps
- Active recall allows the learner to build a dynamic mental map of the information which can be navigated like a physical space
- Dr. Huberman used active recall techniques extensively to master neuroanatomy by mentally visualizing brain structures and pathways
- While challenging, active recall is advocated as the optimal technique for deeply encoding information into long-term memory
Convincing concept. But what I would like to hear more on, is not so much how to get knowledge into ones brain, but how that ‘storage’ helps in performance. You might have all the knowledge in the world in your brain, but if you cannot effectively retrieve and use it, it’s pretty useless. As a teacher in economics, I found that my ‘straight A students’ were good at flexible application of the concepts they had studied. With flexible I mean being able to apply them in situations/cases/questions they hadn’t exercised during class.
You’re absolutely right-knowledge is only as valuable as our ability to retrieve and apply it. Studies suggest that the real magic lies in building contextual fluency -the ability to adapt and use concepts in unfamiliar scenarios. Straight-A students often excel because they focus not just on memorization but on deeper learning techniques like interleaved practice, where they mix different types of problems, and elaboration, where they connect new ideas to existing knowledge.
As an economics teacher, you’ve likely seen firsthand how this flexible application separates good students from great ones. Encouraging students to approach concepts creatively-like relating them to real-world scenarios or discussing their applications-can make a huge difference. It’s fascinating how much performance depends not just on what’s stored in the brain but how it’s organized for retrieval. Flexible thinkers truly have the edge!
It's brutal but efficient 🔥
It does not have to be brutal if there is a system that helps you recall what you learned
As an Asian (not flexing), but also an A+ or 5.0 GPA bearer, it's quite fascinating for me to hear that people in the West are very content and happy with having A's.
