How to do ACTIVE RECALL Effectively? (4 Techniques worked for me)

Traditional Study Techniques put data into the brain. Active recall is the exact opposite, where the students recall information from the brain. In short, Here are 4 techniques that worked really well for me in medical school.
1) Creating "Recall Questions" from my notes.
2) Using Anki for Active Recall & Spaced Repetition. (Gold Standard Study technique)
3) Using Multiple sensory modalities to study and recall.
4) Doing Practice Questions.
I have a small challenge for you in the video! Here are the Answers to those questions.
1) What is the brain area responsible for memory?
= Hippocampus.
2) What is the main difference between active recall and passive recall?
= Passive recall is uploading information to the brain. Active recall is the process of recalling information from the brain.
3) What are the two study techniques the Anki app is based on?
= Active Recall & Spaced Repetition.
4) Name three ways you can incorporate active recall?
= Creating Questions, Using Anki, Multi-modal recall, Practice Questions.

You should put the question number of the ones you're answering

I think flash card is only useful for memorizing something like vocabulary since most of the knowledge is isolated and decontextualized

I used to do this in school then covid came and its like I forgot how to study, this method is truly great, I fortunately started using it again and it definitely is the best.

Yeah same, the interesting fact is when I try to explain it to myself when walking or moving it forces me to creatively answer the question. When it's right I try to shorten my answer and be more clear towards that imaginary audience. I always thought I was weird for learning like this. Im glad it's the method for better recall instead of highlighting with the impression u transfer the info during highlighting. This is proven to be ineffective for recall, but great to quickly find relevant info about a subject that is connected with the major material of an examen. In summary: Highlighting is great for filtering and to separate relevant and irrelevant information, yet active recall explained in the video is the method for retaining that information for the long term. Maybe u guys find this useful, but this works for me. I use a 4 step proces for longterm info storing. 1. I read just globally and with more like an amusing attitude the material ( a book for tax or law ). 2. When I find the subjects that are more complicated I highlight it and then I read it 1 more time but this time with a thorough understanding. 3. Next i try to make (when provided) some exercises to practice and become more familiar with the material. 4 Then when I am confident enough I try to actively explain it to myself or an imaginary audience, when I am wrong I can go back to the highlighted information to provide myself with the missing info that I was stuttering during the explanation. That's my method, it worked for me almost anytime. Its not the fastest, but for very important subjects ( also shown in the video ) the method for retaining information for long term.

In our country, the education system is very outdated and it sucks. We have to memorize the whole paragraphs on every subjects except maths. If we learn a topic, we have the memorize the whole thing from the textbook and we have to write them down exactly in exams. This is not education. But the silver lining here is we improved our memory a lot as active recall was the only study method for us.

This technique is pretty good, but it's probably not enough while recalling current affairs for Govt exams cause there are tons of them and if you don't pass in one chance, you will have to quickly learn another pile of ca again. And active recalling bit by bit takes time. It is much easier to go through practice questions if you don't have enough time for revision and you are in desperate need for a job.

how do u implement this technique on concept heavy, mathematics-heavy degree like engineering?

imo its better to understand more than memorise, i can solve a math equation without naming the steps (thats not a flex its a bad thing)because i didn't memorise and only understood how to solve it.. so if u make it 30% memorise 70% actually solving similar equations it should be good, i get always 100 in math because of this technique.

ThenI recites the first and second’s lines 2gethr then the third line and do the some then recite the 3 lines at once and … second method: u can read a phrase(I really love cooking 🧑‍🍳) once or twice .

BUT all this goes away in a couple days. so basically my short term memory is super good but long term is a mess. i used to study the hardest lessons in medschool the morning of the exam and i would have no issues answering questions but if i study these lessons way earlier, i forget, then i panic, then i convince my self that ill never remember and i actually end up forgetting. my weakness is active recalling. and i desperately need to learn to revise especially now that im doing my step 1 exam.

you need ro constantly go over your notes regularly, and then you will notice it going into your long term memory, thats how long term memory works, its the same for me, i remember but after a while i forget. but ive noticed a few topics that ive gone over many times i actually remember after a long time so i suggest regularly going over your notes and testing yourself

[@user-zq7fy1ur1o]

I’ve found that creating mental maps with the information you want to remember in the form of unique images such as a crate then routinely doing such whenever theres an opportunity it helps me calm down since I can ignore everything else and focus on expanding the idea and what I can do with it.

[@cheese-bg1xq]

Another thing: If your flashcards end up being long, think of how to make other flashcards which use only part of the original flashcard. Still keep the original to tie all the smaller ones together, though. It will be easier to remember the individual facts by using multiple smaller flashcards, then putting them together using the original, bigger one.

[@cheese-bg1xq]

I didn't even make notes from the video lmao 1. Hippocampus (tbf, knew this already from psychology) 2. Active recall involves actively thinking about and "digesting" the information.
