Stop Doing Spaced Repetition Wrong

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that involves increasing intervals of time between subsequent reviews of previously learned material to exploit the psychological spacing effect.

The concept hinges on the idea that we tend to remember information more effectively if we review it a few times over increasing intervals, rather than cramming it all at once.

Incorporating audio flashcards into your spaced repetition strategy can further enhance your learning experience. Audio flashcards are essentially recordings where you narrate the questions to yourself, pause to allow time for you to recollect and vocalize the answer before confirming it by listening to the recorded correct answer.

This technique leverages the benefits of both auditory learning and active recall. It also encourages a deeper engagement with the material, as you are not only recalling the information actively but also receiving it through an auditory medium, which can aid in retention for auditory learners.

Moreover, it adds a dynamic and versatile edge to your learning, allowing you to review your material while performing other tasks, such as commuting or doing household chores.

Now, diving deeper into active and passive recall; active recall is the practice of bringing information to mind from your memory without referring to any materials. This is in contrast to passive recall, where you're merely reviewing the information, perhaps by re-reading notes or listening to a lecture.

Active recall, facilitated by practices such as using flashcards (be it written or audio), tends to build stronger neural connections as it encourages the learner to think and engage deeply with the material, bringing the information forward from memory, rather than just recognizing it.

Combining active recall with spaced repetition and utilizing audio flashcards in your study regime can create a potent learning environment. It encourages a strong engagement with the material, forcing you to not just passively read and reread notes but to actively and vocally respond, to engage with the material in a dynamic and responsive way.

It also brings the benefit of facilitating learning in a variety of settings, not restricting you to desk study, hence making the learning process more flexible and adaptable to different lifestyles.

Thank you, i was considered one of the "worst students" in my class when I was in the 3th grade, and now, I was approved in the 2nd of high school in the middle of first semester

Summary according to my understanding from which students can benefit:

The recommended study approach involves active engagement with the material. Instead of mere re-reading, use techniques such as verbalizing information away from the text and creating audio flashcards. Test your understanding by writing or solving problems and carefully note any mistakes. Subsequently, concentrate on reviewing and addressing errors to enhance overall comprehension.

You are the reason why I believed in my self and learned korean when my teacher told me that I was lazy. I knew something was wrong with just working "hard" .I didn't know how to learn to begin with!
Thank you !
Thank you !

I saw your 1st vdo today ...omg it is wow ..no nonsense in stuffs in vdo just straight to topic .. shot and clear cut .. i have never heard of that audio flashcards...it is going to be very useful for me ..

[brendawells]

Thanks for this! I'm back in school at 41 years old and my memory just isn't what it used to be!

[pushkar]

So basically he is saying use Spaced Repetition with Active Recall.

[easyspeak]

As the saying goes "use it or lose it" .. that includes "reading and writing" is probably one of the common examples for most of us today. Also forgetting is a whole subject of its own also of interest.

that's exactly the training that I am doing. but I don't only memorize through repetitions but I also repeat memorizing through repetitions. so to make it simple. memorizing one list through multiple revisions will make this list stuck in your long term memory. revising many lists won't only put them in long term memory but also in the future when you memorize an other list you can get it on your long term memory with no revisions at all. read once remember all the time. but when I say many I mean number has the word hundreds with s in the end because it goes like this:
- work work work work no results at all not even a small result
- work work work work no results at all not even a small result
- work work work work no results at all not even a small result
- work BOOM!!! you suddenly got this skill from nowhere instantly. as if it happened through accumulation.
but you must beware of burnout. because recovering from burnout is an easy task. just take rest for a fortnight but then I personally had a burnout trauma which means my subconscious mind says "no way we go through this again!!! I only give it 5 minutes daily with procrastination no more no less and be glad I said no less"

Thank you for your service. I still have memory issues but I'm learning because i am used to no review...

(Space v. Mass + Alternating Modalities) (Self Expression) = Retention

Spaced repetition helped me learn better !

[navdeep_singh_suri]

Helped a lot in my exams. Thank you sir.

[pariyakohzadvand]

Thanks mr White, it was a needed video for all .

[egrpv]

Excellent, thank you Ron. Always very practical.

[PTRNINE]

Well done... You did an excellent job...

Great video. I used “Spaced Repetition” years ago and of course I didn’t know what it was at the time, I scored higher than 98% of the people taking the same test. I believe it was approximately over 5000 taking the test. It works, like you say, if it’s done right.

How do I use spaced rep? I wrote out my playing cards and am focusing on the Person first. Starting Monday or Tuesday I’ll review it. Then I’ll review it again Thursday etc. until I get it down pad. - Bill -

[gnm]

Thank you Ron, from your experience, what is the frequency and spaced repetition interval for permanent long term memory

[philg]

keep the courses going. ever thought of doing a video on Electrical engineering like Ohms law or other electrical laws? right hand rule? (just an idea)
