_____________________________________________________
FULL NOTES:
Learning deeper and more durable when effortful.
Poor judges when we are learning well and when we're not. Testing helps calibrate our judgments.
Rereading: waste of time.
Make mistakes and correcting them builds bridges to advance to learning
NO LEARNING: Repetition, Easy,
Vs
STRONG LEARNING: Elaboration + Hard + Relate it to meaningful problem + application, relate to what you already know, you’ll feel stuck recalling takes effort, spaced repetition, interleaved with 2+ subjects.
The greater effort in the retrieval, the more it will be retained.
- don't be fooled: spaced learning maybe more difficult and slower. If learning is compressed, you're decieved into thinking you're making progress because of immediate affirmations.

Mastery: knowledge + application
EFFECTIVE FLASHCARD TECHNIQUES:
- should require cognitive effort. Should not become a mindless recitation. Should be spaced out.
- best times to test : 1)right after class. 2)Spaced out, periodically.
- filling out the words and missing letters results in better memory of the word. (e.g. “I like to play bask___ll.” Answer: basketball)

Thank you! I’ve been finding reading the book quite a challenge (I’m not a reader) You’ve really helped !

I appreciate your feedback, Jas. I do the same exact thing to prep my mind. Before I read a book, I always watch the 10 min summaries on YT first.

I don't know why they don't teach these techniques in schools.

Thankfully people like me exist, who take time out their busy days to spread knowledge so we can all grow and prosper together. Kindly consider "subscribing," sir. More great content coming.

[@rowanwood5397]

if this video had covered the entire book it would have been great. it's 20 minutes too brief. lazy. the eight minutes of review are solid.

[@rafael_testai]

If you pay me $2,000 I'll do a review of the entire book. Feel free to message me on Linkedin if interested.

[@rowanwood5397]

@@rafael_testai yeah, I guess it doesn't make sense to create a complete book review. It's better to just make a trailer of a book review and try to get funding to complete the remainder.

you have problems explaining basic fundamentals lol

You're right.
