Episode notes
Knowledge Accumulation Illusion
- Highlighting books doesn't equal accumulating knowledge.
- Engage your mind by explaining key ideas and relating them to existing knowledge.
Short-Term vs. Long-Term Memory
- New knowledge enters short-term memory (hippocampus) as abstract memory traces.
- Over time, the brain processes this information, moving it to long-term storage, connecting it to existing knowledge.
Spaced Retrieval Practice
- Recall information from memory periodically; space out your practice.
- This strengthens connections, updates knowledge, and improves retrieval ability.
