To Learn is to Revisit

Becoming a better learner hinges on the principles of repetition and familiarity. Engaging with material multiple times enhances retention, as the initial exposure often relies heavily on working memory to process new information. Familiarity with a subject allows learners to connect new knowledge to existing frameworks in their minds, improving overall comprehension.

Therefore, revisiting content through methods like note-taking reinforces learning and helps fit information into the broader web of understanding.
