    The document discusses three principles of effective learning and memory retention: the encoding specificity principle which states that memory is best when the learning environment overlaps with the retrieval environment; the spacing effect which recommends spacing out study over time rather than blocking to aid long-term retention; and interleaving and retrieval practice which suggests mixing topics during study and actively recalling information rather than re-reading to enhance learning.

    Encoding Specificity Principle​

    Summary Memory is best when the overlap is high.


    When learning is appropriately difficult, our

    Slide
    brains process the information deeper and
    memory retention is longer. While studying,
    draw connections between concepts,
    summarize and paraphrase in your own words
    Metacognitive Learning Strategies while making concept maps!

    Spacing effect
    -Ebbinghaus’ Forgetting curve-

    Spacing out your study is superior to block


    learning material over time. Practice spaced
    repetition, review materials at systematic
    intervals. At the start, intervals can be
    spaced closely together (i.e. 1 hr/4hrs/1 day).
    Afterwards, intervals can be longer. Try it out
    for your revision!

    Interleaving and Retrieval


    Interleaved learning of closely-related content
    is more effective than blocked learning. Active
    recalling is superior over re-reading or
    highlighting learning material. Practice mixing
    topics during revision, it can enhance bringing
    information to mind and boost learning!
