Working and Long-term Memory Roles
- Learning starts by paying attention to information to bring it into working memory.
- To remember long term, information must transfer from working memory to long-term memory via consolidation.
Power of Spaced Retrieval Practice
- Spaced retrieval practice is the core principle for effective learning.
- It combines recalling information and spacing study sessions over time to improve memory retention.
Use Retrieval Practice Effectively
- Practice recalling information to strengthen memory rather than just rereading.
- Use testing or quizzing yourself to actively bring knowledge back from memory for better retention.
