Explore how the brain learns and stores information, and find out how to apply this for more effective study techniques.
--
A 2006 study took a class of surgical residents and split them into two groups. Each received the same study materials, but one group was told to use specific study methods. When tested a month later, this group performed significantly better than the other residents. So, what were these methods? Explore how the brain learns and stores information and how to apply this to your study habits.
Directed by Biljana Labović.

From this video i understand that he has mastered the importance of testing himself and storing information permanently in long term memory. If i want to tell him something academic related he always tells me to wait first let him try to guess.

  • When I look back on my life on the tips I’ve received for learning, I remember two things (interestingly both of these are mentioned in this video). First is what my high school biology teacher told me: “ Repetitio est mater studiorum” (repetition is the mother of learning). And Feynman’s technique, at the heart of which is “teach the material to yourself or someone else” (basically, “test yourself and don’t be afraid to be wrong”)

Not check the oil, antifreeze, washer fluid? No, you wouldn't because you wouldn't get very far. If you don't provide your brain with the tools to do the best job you can, you are only setting yourself up for failure.

  • 02:04 📖 Testing with flashcards and quizzes is an effective study technique. It actively retrieves and strengthens memory, providing a more accurate assessment of what you know. 03:06 🤔 Making mistakes while trying to recall information can improve long-term learning, as it activates relevant knowledge and aids in better integration. 03:33 🃏 Mixing different subjects in study sessions, known as interleaving, enhances retention and strengthens memory by forcing the brain to temporarily forget and retrieve information. 04:02 📆 Spacing review sessions across multiple days with rest and sleep in between is more effective than cramming, as it allows the brain to actively integrate knowledge in the neocortex for long-term retention. 04:32 🧠 These study techniques are designed to complement the brain's natural learning and memory processes, making them more effective for retaining information.

  • 2:34 This is so true. A valuable lesson I learned in my times studying. So many times I just read the answers instead of testing myself without the answers. In the exam, I forgot even the simplest of informations. Like the value of a constant or formula or how it's applied. While I'm just reading, it feels like I can do this and that. But when presented with only the question, I get doubtful and can't remember well.

I have always used the testing method and used programs like quizlet which allows you to make online flashcards. I never knew that integrating different subjects during study session is very helpful. Now that I think about it, most of my classes, especially science courses, have some similarities in certain topics and areas. Integrating different subjects during my study session can help me connect information and concepts.

  • I think the best way to learn something that you tell someone else about what you already learnt. Your brain activates to find the easy way to explain for the person in front of you. It also a good way for repeatition and summarize everything

  • If you use an orange pen to write the term you want to memorize (and a normal pen to write the explanation next to it), then cover the page with red, transparent sheet, only the words you wrote with orange pen disappear, so you can make notes and quizzes at the same time! It’s an useful technique many Japanese students use to memorize English vocabulary, and I assure you it works for other subjects like biology too :)

  • This takes me back to high school and college. I always figured that having a good night's sleep before an exam, or even having a nap in between studying factored into my success. I often found that when I'm sleeping, not only do I retain the material that I was studying but I will also attain the knowledge on the material that I have been struggling with. The all-nighter wasn't really my thing going into an exam. But I was doing it more for projects, reports etc.

  • Of course testing yourself is the most important part of studying but when it comes for learning something new every day , it will be difficult to test yourself unless you have free time’ This situation is almost done day by day because people think that they have NO time but if you create your own time as you create your free time, you will have incredible memory that No one can defeat 😊

  • See the problem with this advice is that we often don't get to choose how much time we have between each exam. A below-average course load, with two science classes and one LA, will often lead to 1-2 major exams per week, which severely inhibited spaced study capability: Obviously someone who crams in the two days before an exam won't do as well, but in modern education there often simply is no alternative.

  • OMG so like i had already learnt some of the topics beforehand throughout the year with no revision. The afternoon and night before the exam, i alternated between sleeping and revising. It held the information so well like got the whole book down, got the 3rd highest in class without much studying and best results I have ever gotten in the subject. I really attest to sleep and study method for that reason because it goes from short to long term memory. I would have to revise again for next exam but it i were given another test right now, I wouldnt do bad at it. Plus I always get a good nights sleep before an exam, that night i got about 9 hours,

  • Hmm I always thought note-taking was the best method as it engages what you see and hear then physically write them down. The writing process helps with the memory. Since humans are instinctively verbose, it helps that note taking lets you filter out and contract only the relevant data down. This more simplified set of words helps reinforce what you understood or misunderstood but also makes the things to remember far more concise than entire paragraphs from a professor or book.

    • Yes and no. If you are in a lecture, for example, converting information into your own words / example would be beneficial, but copying verbatim (even handwritten), won’t help much. Most of the time, converting or adapting ideas requires time, so it’s not likely to be done “in the moment”.
