NOTE

Effective Learning Strategies Through Spaced Repetition and Generation Effect

Integrating new information into an existing network of knowledge enhances understanding and retention, even if not all details are consciously recalled. Spaced repetition, a method where material is revisited at increasing intervals, significantly improves long-term memory retention by allowing time for forgetting before re-encountering the information. Tools such as Readwise can facilitate this process by reminding users of important highlights at strategic times. Additionally, self-quizzing enhances learning through the generation effect, where attempting to recall information, regardless of accuracy, primes the brain for better retention of the correct answer later. This is linked to the hyper-correction effect, which demonstrates that being incorrect in guesswork can strengthen future recall of the correct information. Emphasizing exploration through guessing before seeking answers can bolster memory retention.
