The Most Important Takeaway From This Book?

I think it strikes a really nice balance between the science that underlies the chapters and materials. The most important takeaway is that we learn and remember better when we practice pulling things out of the brain then when we try to practice putting stuff into the brain. retrieval practice quizzing elaboration is far more effective for interrupting the learning that forgetting excuse me interrupting the forgetting that is the human condition. More thoroughly embedding new material than rereading or relooking out a lecture or looking at our notes that kind of thing I think that's a very profound statement.
