    Active recall involves stimulating memory during learning rather than just passive reviewing. Studies show active recall leads to better retention - students who tested themselves remembered 80% of word pairs vs. 34% for those who just reviewed. Active recall like quizzing, teaching others, and spaced repetition helps move information from short-term to long-term memory more than passive studying. When self-quizzing, questions should be open-ended and similar to what may be on actual tests, without making them too easy by relying on pattern recognition alone.

    Active Recall

    What is passive recall and active recall?
    Passive recall: Passively reviewing information without retaining it: this is what school focuses on
    taking notes, reading over them (& rereading)
    highlighting & underlining
    watching videos

    Active recall: The need to actively stimulate memory during the learning process, which more effectively
    helps you remember things
    quizzing yourself
    spaced repetition
    teaching
    Why is active recall better than passive
    recall?
    In a 2008 study where students were given a list of 40 word pairs, those who repeatedly both
    reviewed and tested the pairs remembered 80% of the information on a final test while those
    who only reviewed remembered 34%.

    While passive studying only improves recognition skills, active recall


    stimulates your brain more
    makes you really think about what you know
    moves material from short-term to long-term memory
    How to Active Recall Well
    Instead of simply recognizing a problem, be able to explain how your problem relates to the
    concept or idea being taught or apply it to the real world.

    A possible studying route:


    Quiz yourself
    Review
    Plan the topics you study next time (what you missed sooner, what you knew later)

    Teach other people


    Summarizing Properly
    Read a large chunk of the text
    Summarize what you learned (the important parts) without looking at the book or text.
    Go back and fix what you messed up if you made a bad summary.
    The key here is making yourself think about what you summarized, not copying text from the
    textbook.

    If you tend to write down too much, try writing one line of notes for each paragraph in the
    textbook. This ensures you get only the main ideas.
    Tips on quizzing yourself
    Make it open-ended.
    Use questions similar to what questions will be on the test.
    Don't make it too easy.
    When you look at a question, don’t assume you know the answer (pattern recognition). Write it
    down or say it out loud.
    Try to simulate testing conditions (ie time limits, no distractions, etc)
