How to do ACTIVE RECALL Effectively? (4 Techniques worked for me)

Traditional Study Techniques put data into the brain. Active recall is the exact opposite, where the students recall information from the brain. In short, Here are 4 techniques that worked really well for me in medical school.

1) Creating "Recall Questions" from my notes.
2) Using Anki for Active Recall & Spaced Repetition. (Gold Standard Study technique)
3) Using Multiple sensory modalities to study and recall.
4) Doing Practice Questions.

I have a small challenge for you in the video! Here are the Answers to those questions.

1) What is the brain area responsible for memory?
= Hippocampus.

2) What is the main difference between active recall and passive recall?
= Passive recall is uploading information to the brain. Active recall is the process of recalling information from the brain.

3) What are the two study techniques the Anki app is based on?
= Active Recall & Spaced Repetition.

4) Name three ways you can incorporate active recall?
= Creating Questions, Using Anki, Multi-modal recall, Practice Questions.

1. Hippocampus
2. Active recall and spaced repeatation
3. Flash cards spaced repeatation

As a muslim, I used to memorize the Qura'an and do the same tachnique which is closing the book and trying to recall the verses by making sure that I made zero mistakes since my childhood and that really helped me in making my memory so strong. I've never encountered obstructions or difficulties on any course that depends on memorizing. However, for those who finds themselves having troubles on memorizing I highly recommend u guys to look over the techniques given in this video!

I used to do this in school then covid came and its like I forgot how to study, this method is truly great, I fortunately started using it again and it definitely is the best.

Enjoyed this. As I age my memory gets worse. I hope using some of these will help me remember things better.

1. Hippocampus is responsible for memory
2. Active recall from recalling it from it mind and passive recalling it from notes like just rereading it from notes and not trying test it from mind next
3. The anki technique is flashcard technique and spaced repetition
4. Recalling from mind, speaking out lout, writing it down on whiteboard/paper, try to teach the concept to group of imaginary student, practice questione moreeee

I know someone who never takes notes in the class but instantly learn the lessons during the class.
She said why takenotes if i can learn it now. She also the most intelligent in the class.

Just subbed, I like your animations and the techniques you stated. I am trying to get to medical school so please give more learning/studying advice. Great video 👍

[StudywithSudheeshforJee]

JEE aspirant and i realized indirectly without knowing its name i was doing this and 4/4.. anyways its helpful

[MehediHassan-lfsy]

Best video ever on active recalling topic.
Tnx for sharing.

[shalehinhossain]

You study related videos always help me. Thanks for this video ♥️♥️

1. Use feynman techinque and explain concepts to someone or write them/take notes, then use it as a place to actively recall from.
2. Ask questions, to pay more attention and its a way to recall information.
3. Do questions like in a test, you will be forced to active recall which strengthens the concept

[jesseameh]

1.hippocampus
2. Active recall ( space repetition )
Passive recall ( direct repetition)
3 flash cards eg anki app
4. Read it out, teaching, pratice.

Trying to recall those other two parts of the brain, closest I could come with was "Angular Gears" and "The Fuselage". - Actually "Angular Gyrus" and "Fusiform Area". I'm actually pretty pleased with that for a first pass, haha.

In our country, the education system is very outdated and it sucks. We have to memorize the whole paragraphs on every subjects except maths. If we learn a topic, we have the memorize the whole thing from the textbook and we have to write them down exactly in exams. This is not education. But the silver lining here is we improved our memory a lot as active recall was the only study method for us.

[bootatoboo]

sooo im studying for usmle. i got all your answers correct, in fact im capable of almost quoting exactly what you say. BUT all this goes away in a couple days. so basically my short term memory is super good but long term is a mess. i used to study the hardest lessons in medschool the morning of the exam and i would have no issues answering questions but if i study these lessons way earlier, i forget, then i panic, then i convince my self that ill never remember and i actually end up forgetting. my weakness is active recalling. and i desperately need to learn to revise especially now that im doing my step 1 exam.

[PreciousSenaKusife]

1. Hippocampus. 2. Active recall is more of practice while passive reading is about reading from books. 3. Anki app is about repeating question on daily basis which is active recall and spaced repetition. 4. Magic of anki, practice questions, test memory

[nostalgia]

I feel studying methods depend on the subject. For facts and figures, flash cards are great but abstract concepts require writing. For example, read a chapter, then after a day write about it.

Thank you Jesus.
Thank you human for your generous sharing of your knowledge On a platform such as this.
