Recall Beats Re-reading
- Reading a text once and recalling it from memory improves retention more than reading it multiple times.
- People often overestimate their knowledge after repeated reviews compared to those who recall freely from memory.
Write Closed-Book Summaries
- Write a basic summary of what you remember after reading a text to improve memory retention.
- If details are missing, revisit the text and add those to your summary for better understanding.
Use Public Summary Posting
- Make summarizing your reading a habit by posting summaries on blogs or sites like Goodreads.
- This accountability increases your recall and understanding of important material.
