Discover how to leverage ChatGPT and other AI tools to dramatically improve your learning and test performance! In this video, I explain a powerful study technique called the "self-explanation effect" and show you exactly how to combine it with AI for maximum learning impact.

The full prompt:

"I am currently studying [insert the topic you are studying here]. Pretend that you are a student who doesn’t know what the term means. I would like you to listen to my explanation and the example I give in it. Then tell me if you think anything I’ve said is incorrect or unclear. Feel free to ask me to explain the idea again until my explanation is correct and clear. When this is done, please research the web to make sure that you understand what cognitive dissonance means. and then tell me if my explanation was correct or if I missed any important piece of information.

Perfect for: • College students struggling with difficult concepts • Self-learners looking to master new topics • Anyone preparing for exams or certifications • Students studying alone who need a study partner

This study method is backed by cognitive psychology research and now supercharged with AI technology. Watch as I demonstrate live how to use ChatGPT to validate your understanding and catch any gaps in your knowledge. No more wondering if you've really grasped the material! ✨
