Deep dives
The Von Restorf Effect
The Von Restorf Effect, also known as the Isolation Effect, suggests that people are more likely to remember distinct items or information that stands out from its surroundings. This distinctiveness can result from differences in color, size, shape, font, or any noticeable feature. Making important information distinct can enhance memory and recall. Techniques like highlighting, using distinctive shapes, or changing the appearance of study materials can help incorporate this effect into study habits.
