Core arguments center on the spacing effect (distributed practice beats massed practice), active recall (testing yourself is more effective than passive review), and the importance of cognitive load management through techniques like the Pomodoro method. Technical terms like "spacing effect" refer to the cognitive phenomenon where information is better retained when study sessions are distributed over time with increasing intervals. "Interleaving" means mixing different types of problems rather than focusing on one concept extensively. The presenter acknowledges individual differences in optimal study environments (music vs. silence) and emphasizes that not all techniques work equally well for everyone, requiring personal experimentation. ## 🗒️ Notes #### ⏱️ [00:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxv9lf5HjZM?t=0) — [H1] Introduction and Overview -

today's videowe're going to be covering thirteeneffective study tips that are all backedby science which you can find linked indescription down below later on if youare curious now I'm doing this videoright now because we are just about intofinal exam season but if you're cominginto this video later on and realizethat these tips aren't just useful forexam review they're general learningtips so if you want to study less if youwant to spend less time reviewing if youwant to learn more effectively than payattention tip number one space out yourreview sessions so in the field of cognitive science there is thisphenomenon known as the spacing effectwhich describes how we actually learnedbetter if we try to recall materialclose to the point at which we are aboutto forget it essentially forgetting is acrucial part of the learning processmuch like rest is a crucial counterpartto strength training if you want to getphysically stronger so to take advantageof the spacing effect you want to studywith what's called a space - repetitionwhich involves adding gaps of timebetween your study or practice sessionsthat get progressively longer and formost types of information that you'regonna find on a test like question-answer pairs vocab terms reallyanything that can fit on a flashcard youcan actually get very specific aboutthese gaps of time by using spacedrepetition apps which include donkeyQuizlet and duolingo z' tiny cards youcan even do this with paper flashcardsby using something called the lightenersystem which i details in a previousvideo that'll have length anddescription it down below now foreverything else that doesn't fit on aflashcard just try to space out yourpractice sessions intelligently insteadof trying to practice all in one sessionor following a very rigid timetable andnote that this principle works for skillpractice as well so if you practice one specific skill on Monday then maybe waituntil Wednesday or Thursday to practicethat particular skill again and in themeantime on Tuesday practice somethingelse that's related tip number two is touse the Pomodoro Technique so researchhas found that studying works best whenwe do it in short hyper focused burstsrather than one long drawn-out sessionbecause at a certain point your focusand your attention really start to waneand you kind of start wasting your timethe problem with this approach though isyou'd probably know well is that youhave to motivate yourself to start eachand every one of these sessions and after you do a few well maybe thatmotivation has waned a bit so that isexactly where the Pomodoro Techniquecomes in it is a device that helps youto keep that motivation high andactually helps you to get intoeach session so to use it you simply seta timer for 25 minutes and pick one taskto work on and it's very important toactually set a timer don't just set itin your head use a real timer becausethat creates an external motivatorduring that 25 minutes work only on thetask you chosen don't switch to anythingelse and if something distracts youquickly write it down so you can either take care of it later on if you need toor so you can figure out how to preventit from distracting you in the futureand then get back to work now once that25 minute timer goes off you arepresented with a choice if you feel thatyou're in the zone if you feel likeyou're still productive then keepworking until you feel your motivationfocus start to wane otherwise take afive-minute breakgo for a walk get some water and thenstart a new session now if you don'twant to use a physical timer for thisprocess then there are plenty ofwebsites and apps out there that you canuse as a substitute including tomatotimer comm and tide which is my personalfavorite from a door app and is what I use whenever I do my own sessions tipnumber three is to create your ownquizzes out of your study materials andthen take them later on and this iscalled the quiz and recall methodessentially you want to take all of yourstudy materials your study guy if you'vebeen given one your notes may be theslides from the class or your textbookreadings specifically the subheadingsand the bolt lists vocab terms and thereview questions at the end of thechapter if you have them and create yourown quizzes out of them essentially actlike you're your teacher then a coupleof days later go and take those quizzesthis practice testing method is an active method of learning and it's a lotmore effective than just passively goingover the material tip number four whichis pretty related is to work lots andlots of problems the more you canpractice the more mastery you're goingto achieve and the more difficult theseproblems are the better off as well it'slike I'll just be high each cheek sentme how you put it this way the bestmoments usually occur when a person'sbody or mind is stretched to its limitsin a voluntary effort to accomplishsomething difficult and worthwhile justlike the muscles in your body growstronger after being exposed to a stressful challenge your mind becomesmore capable every single time youchallenge it to solve a tough problem sothe next time you're tempted to study byjust letting your eyes glaze over yournotes or a slide deck remind yourselfthat this is basically the mentalequivalent of showing up at the gym andusing nothing but five pound weights youhave to stretch yourself a little bitfurther counterpoint to that though andtip number five when you find yourselfstuck on a tough problem try working asimple one that youis only one of the concepts from theoriginal this is because the difficultyin many tough problems comes from thecombination of several different concepts or ideas that you haven't yetmastered so when you find yourself stuckfor this reason then go and find orconstruct a similar problem that onlyuses one of the concepts from theoriginal master that and then you canmove back to that original and you'llprobably have a much easier time gettingdone tip number six is to use mnemonicsand mnemonic is basically a mentaldevice that binds two different piecesof information together in a sort ofroundabout way your brain more naturallylatches on to this could include rhymesacronyms visual devices or even storiesand a great example of that latter device is one akane which is web appthat helps you learn japanese kanji itdoes this by creating ridiculous storiesthat bind the way each kanji ispronounced aloud to the way that it'swritten and in addition to all thosedevices you can also try to find a wayto turn the information you're studyinginto a song or find a way to make itrhythmically interesting for example themain reason that I can remember the dateof the Pearl Harbor attacks is the veryspecific way that Franklin D Rooseveltsaid it in his speech about the attacksthe Samba 7 1941 I usually have a pretty difficult time pulling it up directlybut I can always remember if I first goto that speech in my memory and thatline in that speech is actually thefirst line of the intro to hardcorehistory which is an incrediblyentertaining podcast that has gotten mevery interested in many different erasof history and speaking of interesttip number seven on our list is to finda way to get more interested in yourtopic and this is because your emotionalstate your emotional attachment to atopic how much you care about it theseare all very important and how wellyou're going to retain the informationwhen you're learning about it so you want to find a way to get moreinterested now my favorite way to dothis is to find a way to immerse myselfin the topic that's a little bit morefun or interesting than your standardtextbook readings or lecture slides thiscould be a podcast it could be adocumentaryit could be visiting a museum it caneven be a video game as long as thatvideo game ties back to your topic itmakes you care more about it tip numbereight is to regularly switch betweendifferent types of problems and conceptswhile you're studying this is a conceptcalledinter lady and helps combat a problemknown aswe're learning we basically hammered away at one specific concept a problemfor so long but you really kind of startwasting your time and once again theHwanhee County app provides us with agreat example of how to do this wellbecause when you're reviewing the app isconstantly switching between questionsabout radical and kanji meetings aboutvocabulary terms and about how topronounce specific kanji so you'reconstantly being asked to recall whatyou've learned in different ways so whenyou're studying for a test you're doinga homework assignment you can basicallyreplicate this by switching betweenconcepts or different sections of aproblem set at regular intervals tipnumber nine is to do at least one study session in the classroom where you'regoing to be tested or a very similarclassroom if you can and this tipleverages what is called a contextdependent memory research and cognitivesciences found that people are betterable to recall information when they arepresent in the same environment in whichit was encoded so if you learn in theclassroom or at least spend some timewith viewing in the classroom then whenyou're sitting in that same classroomfor the test you're gonna have an easiertime remembering what you studyadditionally if you can study in theclassroom then that makes it a morefamiliar place and when you're takingthe test being in a familiar place canactually cut down on test anxiety as well that brings us to tip number 10which is to go for a walk after a longstudy session so when you're thinkingyour brain uses two different types ofprimary neural networks what are calledhighly attentive States and then restingstate networks and crucially both ofthese types of networks are veryimportant for learning effectively inthe book Emine for numbers dr. BarbaraOakley labels the use of these twonetworks as the focused and diffusemodes of thinking respectively and notesthat it's important to switch betweenthem in order to encode new material nowusing the focused mode is pretty straightforward as it's activatedanytime you actively work on a problemso to get over into the diffused modeyou just need to step away from thatproblem for a bit and let your brainprocess it in the background and a greatway to do that while also getting someexercise which is in itself a great wayto enhance your learning and there's anentire book on that is to go outside andgo for a quick walk tip number 11 is todo at least a few of your reviewsessions in a group working in a groupcan not only expose you to new ideas andlet you come to the problems from adifferent angle but it also prevents youfrom getting stuck on any one problem too long the caveat here is that youshouldn't do all of your work in groupsbecause it can get to the point whereyou start relying on other people tofind the answers for you and you're notactually solving them for yourself it'svery easy to confuse recognition of theright path to the answer given to you bysomeone else with actual mastery of thematerials so you have to strike anoptimal balance between individualproblem solving time and group work tipnumber 12 is to find these study soundsthat work the best for you and I'm veryspecifically using the term sounds herebecause ambient noises music and silence can fall work well for studying and makeyou more productive it just depends onwhat kind of person you are now if youwant to go the route of ambient noises agreat starting resource is noisy whichactually allows you to mix differentsounds together to create your owncustom soundscape but I really likedoing that or you keep things simple bygoing with the classic rainy mood forrain sounds or coffee tivity which is awebsite that creates coffee shopambience and for music you might wannastart with my Sunday study post over onSpotify or my ultimate study musicplaylist here on YouTube both of whichhave a lot of similarities but also some key differences and if you do find asong that you really like because theyare pretty eclectic a good way to findmore music like that would be to useSpotify as a radio function or to justfind the album's songs from and put thaton now I do want to mention that thescience behind the link between musicand productivity is pretty money rightnow there's a lot of research that'sbeen done but very few concreteconclusions so this is an area thatreally warrants personal experimentationthat being said I will still be linkedin to some resources in the descriptionso you can dig in and do some reading onwhat exists right now if you're curiousand that brings us to tip number 13 which is to protect your sleep now Iknow this seems completely obvious but Ialso know from personal experience thatsleep seems to be the thing that we mostreadily sacrifice when we're dealingwith a looming deadline and this is areally detrimental choice that we makebecause sleep is crucial for keepingyour brain at its optimal levels andit's especially important for retainingthe information that you've learned andbeing able to call it on tests as theHarvard Medical School puts at when weare sleep-deprived our focus attentionand vigilance drift making it more difficult to receive information withoutadequate sleep and rest overworkedneurons can no longer function tocoordinate information properly and welose our ability to access previouslylearned information so no matter howtight your deadlines are respect yourbody's need forsleeeeep make sure you're getting enoughsleep and also make sure you are keepinga consistent sleep schedule as well nowall the tips on this list are indeeduseful but I do want to make a finalnote that it is not necessary to try toimplement them all at once if you tryyou would probably just find yourselfoverwhelmed so instead just pick one area that you know you can improve uponand focus on that during your next studysession eventually that will becomeingrained as a habit and you can move onto something else and if you're not surewhere to start or if you often findyourself overwhelmed with huge lists oftips or just the sheer amount of optionsyou have available to you then you mightwant to follow this video up by goingand
