RETRIEVAL BY FLASH CARDS, RE-READING HIGHLIGHTS
The act of retrieving learning from memory has two profound benefits. One, it tells you what you know and don’t know, and therefore where to focus further study to improve the areas where you’re weak. Two, recalling what you have learned causes your brain to reconsolidate the memory, which strengthens its connections to what you already know and makes it easier for you to recall in the future.”
When you space out practice at a task and get a little rusty between sessions, or you interleave the practice of two or more subjects, retrieval is harder and feels less productive, but the effort produces longer lasting learning and enables more versatile application of it in later settings
Massed practice (focusing on mastering a single type of problem at a time) leads to immediate gains that are evident.
Interleaving has another important advantage: by switching between different types of problems instead of focusing on just a single problem, interleaving can help learners discriminate between these problem types, learn to select the right type of solution, and understand the problem within a broader context. I think this is essential in medical education.
MOCK WKEND Testing, although loaded with emotional baggage, is essential at all levels of performance.
