Improving Memory Through Error-Driven Learning

Improving memory involves consolidating information by taking breaks and quizzing yourself. Retrieving information repeatedly, sharing it with others, and engaging in error-driven learning through struggling to learn new things, spacing out learning experiences, and testing oneself can enhance memory retention. Error-driven learning reshapes memory by reinspecting and correcting weaker parts while strengthening connections, making the information more accessible later on. This approach reveals memory weaknesses, allowing for their repair and improvement, contrary to the common belief that focusing solely on memorizing correctly is most effective.
