What a wonderful and easy way to explain. Thanks!

Well, I was finding interleaving in terms of computer architecture, but I'm glad I found this video.

[@chemfunman]

It's my pleasure!

[@toidaypiano8347]

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@RioPradipto]

well, honestly I was trying to find interleaving definition in terms of digital communication system. But ended up here. However, the idea of changing the subject every now and then makes the perfectly sense for me atleast. Even when studying the same subject but different topic, this kind of can make stronger connection between each topic. Thanks for sharing

[@zubayraslam5114]

Lol, i was finding this and ended up there xD

[@hozifaelgadal623]

thank you guys for sharing this ..... i only came across interleaving and came searching for it , now by understanding spacing i think i am going to use them both and see which one is better , I'll try using spacing throughout the week though for better retain of the subjects . thank you for sharing your thoughts again.

[@chemfunman]

Fantastic, Good luck 😀!

[@fauzanxy2381]

So which one is better?

[@hozifaelgadal623]

@@fauzanxy2381 you can find a way to use all of them., when you are reading a specific subject use interleaving to fully understand the topic , and then a cross the week use spacing . get back to your notes from time to time , read the books you've read from time to time. this well give you better understanding and make you learning smoother I hope this answers you question

OMG! Why teachers don't tell you how to study properly in school! I have to look it up myself.

You are welcome!

Man I understood it very well thanks a lot

[@chemfunman]

You are welcome

[@rafaelboughos3883]

your explanation is very clear thxx

[@chemfunman]

Glad to hear that

[@Golden2Talon]

should you also change the x,y,z, randomly, so basically "interleaving" ? And what if you dont get a subject yet, should you still change? Wouldnt that interrupt the understanding part?

[@chemfunman]

if you don't get a subject well, we suggest NOT to try interleaving as it would be a waste of time! what you mentioned is totally valid and they are proven in the research.

Nice to see Chris in a video! Thank you Fun Man for sharing this video with me. I thought the video portrayed the idea very clearly. It must not have been easy to write everything backwards as well! xD In any case, I think this is a very useful and effective studying method - breaking study topics into little chunks so that it can be better absorbed and understood. - Zakiah Bte Zakaria

Our pleasure!

[@mistiemill3262]

these men really wrote things backwards. Spelling 100

[@akilegna1255]

Its probably flipped lmao

no editing! we didn't flip the video

[@ragadsamuderakalbaharas7878]

@@chemfunman just stupid did that

[@chemfunman]

we just interleaved our practice.. of writing backwards and forward! then, you can write backwards very quickly :)

[@sedenions]

Also, what does the data (which I can't seem to find) say about spacing and interleaving day-to-day? Example: Day 1: x,y,z. Day 2: x,y,z. Day 3: x,y,z. Day n: x,y,z.

[@chemfunman]

you have to try this yourself. Interleaving is about topics that are easily confused. Spacing works for quite different domains, such as history and chemistry. Have you had the chance to practice and log your own data?

[@chemfunman]

covid has been tough. I hope you are well!

[@sedenions]

Is there any empirical data to suggest mixing topic order is efficient for learning / memory consolidation, or at least does not jeopardize the spacing & interleaving process? In other words: Day 1: study x, y, z, x, y, z. Day 2: study y, z, x, y, z, x. etc.?

[@chemfunman]

Let me find and get back to you, many thanks for the query.

Thank you 🎉, Chem Leggo, I am 51 years old and studying Java programming.The textbook is 1250pages long and 38 chapters.Another book for web development is 1200pages.Can I spend 1h each the entire day?Then do lab for programming practice 1h?Ok,Is that okay?

[@chemfunman]

Entire day OK but you will be tired. So please take breaks in between

[@igooglepro]

@@chemfunman Thank you.

[@7Maq]

This is would work on multiple papers or courses, what about if it just a one paper?

[@chemfunman]

It works - I must add a caveat, that if you are dealing with say, english and mathematics, then it may not quite work.

[@palithasiriwardena-jo5lp]

Can't we do post spacing and interleaving both? Would it be more beneficial?

[@chemfunman]

Both, when combined , works well

[@palithasiriwardena-jo5lp]

[@truewisdom1123]

Thinking about another subject while working on another, is that not distraction

[@chemfunman]

No, it’s about focus. But able to switch focus and yet be focused, is key.

[@jeffreycheng1777]

Great Video!! I really want to know what's the filming set... and are you guys writing oppositely?

[@chemfunman]

This is a light board:) very useful and fun. Are your University student? We write opposite also sometimes.

[@jxrdxn2611]

isnt that called interleaving still.interleaving is essentially the same concept of mixing up different study sessions together. particularly as soon as you find a subject easy you then switch to a new topic

[@chemfunman]

interleaving incorporates spacing as well. But spacing might not incorporate interleaving.

[@bouchranourelhouda2415]

I understand the idea thank you but what confuses me is how to plan your study for the long term , you know when some subject takes longer than you though or is more difficult , switching can break the flow ... I'd like if someone illuminatese this point for me ..

[@chemfunman]

When you are almost feeling easy when attempting the subject, that you should switch. If it remains hard after a couple of hours, switch. No point wasting time in both scenarios.

[@chemfunman]

mix it up only after you have attained a certain level of mastery. mixing it up *too* early would render the process futile, it is even harmful! Only when you are sure you are OK with the content somewhat, try mixing. If doesn't work, fall back on *no mixing* yet.

[@chemfunman]

The key message is.. mixing not based on 1h (this is just an example), but also on the amount of mastery in you
