I already wrote this in the comments, but this is what you should be telling your mom (and this is actually backed by a lot of easy-to-find research you could show her): a possible reason for the benefits of variation of environments is because of the addition of associative subjects that comes with each new environment. a very beneficial key to studying something that is foreign to you is the ability to associate the details of what you are learning to something familiar. learning historical facts for a test, for example, may be hard and boring to memorize, instead you'll have an easier time remembering that funny looking bird you happened to notice at the park while reading about the initiation of world war 2 in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland.

Well, in fact there was a third "control group" that studied both times in the same bright room. The video doesn't mention it because in this research you can't have a "control group". Either you have "same context studying", or "different context studying". So, people who studied in the same conditions both times are part of the same group. The final test was taken in a third room different from any of the previous and the results were those cited in the video.

My teacher always told me to study before I go to bed and the result of that will put what I've learned in my "permanent memory" part of the brain while asleep. Either that's or she tricked us into studying and told us a cheeky technique to boost our confidence on the following day. Most who claimed they studied over night got an average 95% on the test, others ranged from 50-75. Who knows try it out 😋

+Killer Zj I have done a lot of searches about that, I do it sometimes, but I found that thinking of changing what you're dreaming of is hard, really hard! You just have to keep thinking that you want to be awake in a dream! But the problem is that you don't know when you are actually dreaming in a dream!! Maybe you're dreaming of dreaming! And living an endless dream, and that dream never comes to an end of awakening and exiting the original dream and you still don't realize it is a dream because your dreaming of thinking about dreaming and the dream doesn't looks very identical to real life but is actually a dream, then you get cancer and die and never wake up of that dream. Hope this helps :3

The theory that studying in a different location helps studying is flawed. We don't know that the test subjects were able to memorize more words because of the change in location. It could have been because of the cleaner room. A more accurate test would be to have a group of subject study for 20 min in the clean room, the other group in the darker/mess room for 20 min, and another group that switches locations after 10 mins. That way, we can be sure that the catalyst for more efficient studying really was a change in location.

+madashell2 From reading the book it looks like Studying twice in the neat room also led to worse results. You can look up the study: Smith, Glenberg, and Bjork, "Environmental Context and Human Memory," Memory & Cognition, Vol. 6, No. 4, 1978, 342-53 In fact there were lots of studies sited in the book where, long story short, increased variation = better memory. The caveat being that there are also a lot of studies that show that if you can study in the same environment, mood, background as what you are testing under you will get higher scores when you test, but only in that room, and your brain's ability to recall that information or perform the task when not in that room/situation, will be limited.

How to Study Smarter, Not Harder (Transcrição) 1 - Consistency has been a hallmark of good study habits since the 1900s. It’s drilled into our heads from an early age - have a dedicated desk, have a dedicated time, eliminate distractions. But what if almost everything we’re told about how we learn is wrong? What if being inconsistent can work in our favor? 2 - For instance, could something as simple as a change in venue make a difference? Could interrupting work on a large project facilitate more inventive thinking? In the mid 1970s a trio of psychologists performed an experiment to answer just that. They wondered what would happen if people studied the same material twice, only in two different places. 3 - To test this, they presented a group of students with a list of 40 four-lettered words like ‘ball’ and ‘fork’. All of the students were given two ten-minute study sessions, but half of them studied in the same dimly lighted cluttered room for both sessions, while the other half studied in two different rooms - the cluttered one and a neater, brighter one across campus. 4 - In the last phase of the experiment, researchers had the students write down as many of the study words as they could in ten minutes. The difference in scores were striking. The one room group recalled an average of 16 of the 40 study words. The two-rooms group recalled 24. A simple change in venue had improved the student’s memory by 40%. 5 - But it isn’t just where you study or practice, how you do so is also part of the environment. Think about it - writing notes by hand is one kind of activity, typing them is another. The same goes for studying while standing up, versus sitting down, versus running on a treadmill. In the end, it doesn’t matter which aspects of the environment you vary, so long as you vary what you can. 6 - Despite what traditional advice tells us, when it comes to learning, it’s consistency, not change, that is limited. So, next time you need to study, to practice or prepare for that big project, mix it up. Try another room, another time of day. Take your guitar to the park, change coffee shops, switch practice courts, read in silence and with music on. 7 - Why? Because each alteration of your routine further enriches the skills being rehearsed, making them more accessible to you for a longer period of time. That’s the soul of real learning after all - to carry the skills and the knowledge with you, available when needed, no matter the environment. How We Learn, by Benedict Carey on sale September 9th.

I do see the reasoning behind this, but was this experiment simply summarized for the sake of the video? What were the names of the three people responsible for the study? I find it odd that there wasn't a group tested where students studied in the brightly lit room for both sessions. How do we know that the better result isn't because the other students studied inthe brightly lit, uncluttered room?

So the ones that were able to study in a BRIGHTER, NEATER room with a better atmosphere were better off than those who where studying in dimmed light in a basement. The conclusion might as well be that more light and a comfortable place makes you learn better.

Althaf K Backer honestly if the experimental design is as they have shown here, it has a big problem. is it the chance of the surrounding that causes that effect? or is it the light vs dark room. why didn't they do another control with people studying twice in a nicer lighter room. also they have not shown how the group's preformed under the same conditions. what if all the "smart" ones were in the experimental group.

Wouldn't the brighter, less cluttered room obviously be a better environment to study in, anyway, though? I don't see how that proves that switching up locations helps, except for finding a less distracting, more well-lit environment.

This video is somewhat inaccurate. Simply varying your environment will be beneficial because there will be more context associated with the information, however the more similar the environment is to the test environment, the better ability you will have to retrieve the information when needed. This is of course if you are tested on the info rather than just trying to learn it for yourself.

So, we learned that a dude who studies in a dark environment only remembers less than a dude who spent half the time studying in a bright room, and half in the dark room. Yeah, I'm sure it's just the change of the environment and not the type of environment. If he changed between two different dark rooms the results would have totally been the same.

No one ever understood me when I said my environment affects my skills. My room and home is too much of a comfort to get work done without a hard drive to do it. My bed (my lover and existance) is a good 3 steps from my desk and my room has dim lightening. It is the hardest thing to resist the urge to jump into my bed and dream away (which most times I accomplish successful) but it the force is too strong. The sweet bliss of sleep calls me. It's impact would decrease in an unfamiliar/formally familiar bright and tighty area of study. Also being surrounded by others who are hard working or look like they are is a great motivation tool.
