[@user-yv9tn8fd5w]

Notes Ive made throughout the video: (1st tip) Distinctiveness-Distinctiveness is very useful when it comes to studying, it means, a memory standing out that you will remember for a long period of time. when learning or in class, try to play that distinctiveness so you can remember what the teacher is teaching and remember the teacher’s words for a longer period of time instead of you cramming everything together and being in stress because you didnt listen to the teacher in class. (Go to 4th/5th tip on how to improve distinctiveness) (2nd tip) Elaboration-When people are writing words or reading and do not understand a word or two, try to research on that word so you can find a deeper meaning to it, and when the time comes, you do not mix it up with other meanings or sentences/words for example, somnambulism is a word for “sleep walking but most people mistake it for a sleeping disorder showing they didn’t care to research the deeper meaning to it or maybe was not distinctive enough during class. (3rd tip) Memorizing and recalling-memorizing all the words in your textbook can be very tiring, overwork your brain, and waste your time since not all the words are going to be on your test or exam, so instead of that, you can look for summary outlines, key term lists, questions in your textbook, study guides, and practice test that can be very good for your understanding, actually focussing on what you actually need to study, and save time and effort on your studies so you can head out to another (4th tip) Self-referenced effect- To make information more distinct/stand out, the self-referenced effect can help by a landslide because it refers to the phenomenon where we remember information if we relate it to ourselves and no other. Thats why it is easier to remember information about our personalities and sense of style since it relates to us and helps us out. Our brain likes to remember things that are useful or relevant to our lives. So If I’m learning about something or trying to memorize the concepts for an exam or test, try to relate as much of the information as you can to our body or life. By doing this, it helps increase our curiosity in a subject and piques our intrest, since we tend to be more intrested in things that can actually help our lives or relate to us (dont take notes like me ) ;)

You should do a video on notetaking and neuroscience. Specifically, how lack of sleep affects the mind. Or maybe sociopathy and how some seek to destroy others because they're a sadist...or just a sick individual with some misplaced anger.

I had the exact same rule with such word as "onomatopeya" (onomatopoeia in English) because it sounds like a joke: A car comes into me and I scream... "oh no, me atropella" (Oh no, the car runs over me) LOL More spanish native would be "oh no, m'atropella")🤣🤣🤣

[@rachel.lehcar]

😂😂good

[@AarohiHitnalikar]

actually the thing is that i have to study 12 subjects and my exams are extremely hard and there aren't any specific key points or important topics as you have to learn everything word word. i cannot constantly revise everything because of the vast majority of the subjects and so due to that i tend to forget the in between material one day before the exam. even tho i get straight A's it is now getting harder to maintain it as syllabus gets harder. please give me a solution 😭

[@eveeelyxn]

You should watch the video (because it’s ✨GREAT✨!) but a little summary of the things I found the most important🤓: Better Memorising: - create storys for words - brain likes surprises (distinctivnes - stands out) - If it’s interesting and relevant for us - elaboration (integrate in things I already know) Tipps: - Self refenced effect - We memorize things related to ourselves better - Encoding-specificity System - Similar environment like in the test or use the same pencil - Imagine an Imaginary for a word or its definition - Mindmapping - Making a visual linking system between contexts - Narrative technique - Create a story out of words you need to remember - Feynman technique - Explain the topic to your plant ,identify gaps and afterwards learn the gaps - ask & answer: why? - Use the information in real life I hope it’s helpful😊!

My exams start in about 3 weeks and I am already overwhelmed. Wish me luck pls.

[@tvdavis]

This is the problem i have with work: They don’t give me time to think about something and process it before throwing more information at me. By the end of the day, I’m mentally exhausted and don’t want to go home and waste my precious free time trying to memorize things. Then the next workday starts, I’ve forgotten most of what came the day before, and there’s 50 more acronyms or terms or systems to learn.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

9:47 They don’t exist for every textbook. Although I’d love to go through some of my textbooks.
