Learning isn't just about reading; it's about retaining. Most people forget 80% of what they learn within 24 hours. This is known as the Forgetting Curve.
But there's a way to hack this process. By using Spaced Repetition and Active Recall, you can flatten the curve and retain up to 90% of information.
What is Spaced Repetition?
Spaced repetition is a learning technique that incorporates increasing intervals of time between subsequent review of previously learned material in order to exploit the psychological spacing effect.
Why Active Recall Works
Active recall is the principle that efficient learning claims to rely on stimulating memory during the learning process. It contrasts with passive review, in which the learning material is processed passively (e.g. by reading, watching, etc.).
