An Evidence Based Guide to Remember Everything You Read

[@JustinSung]

Take my Learner Type free quiz to figure out your learning strengths and weaknesses: bit.ly/40qdnPj You'll also get a personalised report at the end with recommendations for what to work on to improve your learning efficiency as quickly as possible.

1. Encoding - Create integrated schemas of knowledge for mastery which leads to retention - Focus on the cognitive process of learning rather than physical action of ‘studying’ - Use multiple modalities of resources - (1) How does it connect to what I already know? What’s the bigger picture (2) Aim to simplify it - scaffolding (3) Learn in layers - start with what is easiest to you 2. Retrieval - High active effort => better learning - Free > Cued > Recognition - Practice how how you play - Spacing (1 day, 1 week, 1 month) - Flashcards can be limited by lower mastery - can lead to overwhelm, so it’s important to understand integrated concept first

Justin, I am a pre dental student still in college and your videos are helping me. I never really knew how to study as know one taught me and I didn’t apply strategies I would learn correctly. Slowly but surely I am becoming a better learner after watching you for a week. Thanks so much for these videos

[@anant8]

I'd never watched a video this long in one go. I was anticipating a compilated video like this and here it is. It would be a lot helpful one in my journey of learning. Gratitude for you from the bottom of my heart 😄❤

This is one of your strongest videos. Full of information and amazingly applicable. Sometimes difficult, but I guess that just means that Im learning. Thanks for your amazing content!!

[@JustinSung]

Thank you! Yep learning can be difficult, but you are on the right path :)

[@nimaltra7353]

You are an amazing human being ❤ it takes a lot of effort to study research papers and make conclusions based on them

[@AllisonRoadWest]

Here are the main bullet points from the video: Most of what people know about learning is wrong or incomplete. A lot of research is not geared towards helping people learn better. The speaker has spent 13 years researching and trying to understand how to learn better. The speaker believes that difficulty in learning does not mean ineffectiveness. Flashcards can be helpful but they have limitations. Flashcards can be unsustainable and do not always address mastery. Many people rely too much on flash cards and do not use other methods. Flashcards can be helpful if used correctly. Retrieval practice is important for learning. Free recall is better than cued recall. Teaching to a 10-year-old is a great way to practice free recall. Procedural knowledge is not as important as declarative knowledge. Practice papers and exams can be helpful if they are geared towards the right type of knowledge. Summary notes are not as effective as other methods. Deep processing is important for learning. Mind maps can be helpful if used correctly. People who are willing to make mistakes learn faster. The speaker has a program that can help people learn better. I hope this is helpful!

[@LuckyDefenderOnYouTube]

Hi Mr. Sung! I really appreciate the sheer value that you are providing to all of us! I just want to quickly clear something up though. When I go through this trial-and-error process with my learning system (both encoding and retrieval), how can I know that I have made a mistake? Is it just through testing myself at the knowledge levels that I am attempting to encode at? Is it through the retrieval that I notice that mistakes have been made? In what form would that kind of feedback come? I@d love to hear what you think about that! Of course, if not then there is absolutely nothing to worry about! Have a great day, Sir!

[@PratikTank-ly7tt]

Should I do a lot of practice questions for my usmles

[@lordzroger951]

Today i gave a medical subject exam which is an oral exam. I cram 300 pages for 3 weeks. On day of exam i was still studying because some topics looks new even if i went through it multiple times. I learned fast, if i read it or watch a video about it even once i understand it(self diagnose)but it remains in my memory for only 1 or 2 days. My learning speed is fast but memory power is bad. Help me😢

[@alienedits200]

@lordzroger951 bro use active recall, like recall everything anytime for example I try to recall the concepts in my brain that I learn, when i go to bed, when I wake up, when I am playing sports or using phone, once you make habit of it you will never forget it

[@sudarshan2897]

Hey Justin are flashcards good for technical definitions you have to memorise, i first understand the meaning behind these words then use flashcards to ensure i memorise that definition precisely word for word since its required in my exams

[@ahnafzawad1662]

can you give me some pointers for oral exam,as a medical student bcs i am really struggling with it.btw justin love your videos

[@ianhruday9584]

Just a suggestion, but for longer videos like these, it might be a good idea to sprinkle in some quiz questions on the material you talked about. Videos tend to be very passive learning, and I bet viewers would have better retention if the video included brief breaks to test viewers on the content that was already discussed.

[@mariamsafar6748]

Hello Justin I have a question. For chem should I learn the content for my chapters for example ch 2, 3, 4 and then after I finish learning the content for all of them start doing practice questions? or should I learn the content for chapter 2 and then do qs and so on

[@Oliverstihonn]

no one talk about secret books on nixorus, how much people live in trance lol

[@phanikatam4048]

Do encoding happens automatically i mean understanding the association with in the concept and apply it to real world scenerios Analysis , evaluate later Active recall Spaced revision Or do we do encoding using creativity like Internet meaning is interconnected global computer network system Do we imagine like globe with systems connected by a fibers or something??? Or just read the defination and active recall ????
