I literally watched this video yesterday and I thought I needed to return here to say this; both your methods work! I tried both your methods (recall and memory surfing) and I couldn't believe it! I studied the material, went away for an hour, returned and sat with my thoughts for a few moments trying to recall what I'd read earlier, and what do you know - most of it came rushing back to me! And all I had to work with were written down terms of the disciplines as prompts and that's all it took to recall vast amounts of text on these! I am so proud of this! Thank you both for imparting this active recall tip, it certainly has transformed the game for me!

Cal Newport's emphasis on active recall is a game-changer for anyone serious about learning efficiently! 💡 It's impressive how switching from passive to active learning methods can significantly boost information retention and academic performance.

@cesarsanchezgutierrez3064 Месяц назад

Active recall can be applied by methods of memorization such as mind maps, index card categorization, among other techniques. Active recall is the most time efficient and mentally draining way of learning currently known. But it can lead to great fundamental learning, which can be helpful for grasping advanced knowledge “better”.

@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805 Месяц назад

Cal Newport had to give up Rowing, something he loved, because of a heart condition. By his own words, if it werent for that, he'd never have become the powerhouse of studying and gone on to help 100s of 1000s of students around the world. Remember that next time life throws you a curveball.

Great concept, the active recall.. the I struggled with it pile makes sense. I think identifying the items we struggle with then setting aside, makes more sense than stressing over those items at the moment. Focusing on the positive or what you have mastered makes more sense. Then going back to master ones you need to take more time on. Sounds like a great learning system.. Thanks for sharing

@abdullahop9814 6 дней назад

I also did the same without even knowing about it. I used to read a chapter, learn the basic idea and concepts and then close the book, trying to recall most of what I read and if I missed something I would open the book and again recall it a while later. Helped me top my school every year.

Yes... when u are willing to go through the pain of not assuming you know what you just learnt but instead confirming that you know what you just learnt by bringing it out... by teaching it... and going back and noticing that you retained 40 - 50 percent of what you learnt and go back and repeat and repeat while doing so time efficiently, not only will you be an academic weapon, you will be the best of your peers

When you gain a deeper understanding of the neuroscience behind emotions and behaviors, it's like lifting the veil on the mechanisms that drive human experience. Suddenly, the simple joys of day-to-day life may seem less spontaneous and more deterministic, as I realize how various neural pathways and chemical processes influence your thoughts and feelings. This newfound awareness sometimes dampen the excitement of mundane tasks, as I become more attuned to the underlying neural patterns at play. It's akin to seeing the gears and cogs behind the scenes of a once-magical performance-it doesn't necessarily diminish the beauty of the show, but it does alter the perception of it. So what are your thoughts on that can you explain in a video please 😊

Information. It is neat to learn about things, and in my time alive I have learned a great many academic things. But learning such things has not brought me any happiness, quite the opposite actually as learning new things I find to be a painful and tedious process overall, and I actually think the less someone knows about the universe the better life experience they can live. For example I think Indians probably lived the most true or ideal lifestyle, hunting and gathering, having sex with a wife every night, raising kids, going to war with neighboring clans, passing down information in the form of stories and legends, everything like the wind and rain is magic and was due to divine intervention etc.

@@KEKW-lc4xidefinitely learning new things makes life difficult because we create a confusion in our brain We start altering all our opinions on many things which were developed before So our judgments, decision making, problem solving everything gets affected by new learning And these new things can't fit well in the environment which was being followed conventionally I suffered a lot after knowing about psychology, the selfishness of human beings, the greed of human beings, the manipulations people are doing to us, till then I didn't know anything so I was very peaceful and normal But now I can understand the intentions of people behind their actions, so now I can't act normal but I can't loose them, because it's natural to be selfish and greedy So at starting i have suffered this a lot But I didn't stop learning, then I also found out why suffering happens Then I got clarity and I understood how to deal everything without loosing happiness and magic in life We just have to open up everything to everyone Drama ends there We may think if we speak truth, they may hurt or develop negative opinion on us No when our intention is not bad, they understand it because they know their intentions are not right ethically, morally Yes Indians lived a perfectly balanced life, the culture allowed people to live selfish life and benefits of being together

You just dont take it properly, not that all hws are important but maximum are. That is recall only, there is always a hw diary of atleast one teacher - one subject where teacher asks to revise chapter this or that. Or this topic of importance.

@steve3586rgt 11 дней назад

One key reason underlining, margin notes, and highlighting don't work for really learning material is that every time you look at the text you highlighted, you think "Yeah I remember that." But you don't really _remember_ it, you just _recognize_ it. Big difference! Flashcards and other ways of simulating taking a pop quiz on the material force you to actually recall what the answer is, instead of just recognizing the information when you see it. That's why active recall works so well. Repeated exposure to the material plus having to actively recall it is a powerful combination, and if you can apply it, that's even better. (Don't just read about how to cut a dovetail joint, do it. Don't just memorize a Python syntax, write a short program that uses it...) Regarding physical flashcards: If you cut 3x5 index cards in half, you get 2.5x3 inch cards (about the size of standard poker cards) They're big enough for most flashcard Q&A and they fit in your pocket easily.

✨Summary by VideoToWords - Active recall involves trying to recall information from memory without looking at notes or materials, and is one of the most effective learning techniques - Dr. Newport discovered the power of active recall in college when experimenting with study methods, leading to straight A's after struggling initially - Active recall is mentally taxing but highly time efficient for learning and retaining information in a vivid way - The process involves reading material, stepping away, attempting to recall key points from memory, then checking the material to reinforce gaps - Active recall allows the learner to build a dynamic mental map of the information which can be navigated like a physical space - Dr. Huberman used active recall techniques extensively to master neuroanatomy by mentally visualizing brain structures and pathways - While challenging, active recall is advocated as the optimal technique for deeply encoding information into long-term memory
