A study examining and comparing the usefulness of 10 different learning techniques
- Testing: (3.4.1) Testing is a means of memory.
- Spacing out learning: (3.5.1) Review after forgetting.
- Practice testing: Self-testing or taking practice tests over to-be-learned material
- Distributed practice: Implementing a schedule of practice that spreads out study activities over time
Those with medium usefulness
- Elaborative interrogation: Generating an explanation for why an explicitly stated fact or concept is true
- Explain why it is right.
- Self-explanation: Explaining how new information is related to known information, or explaining steps taken during problem solving
- Explain the relationship to other information and the derivation process
- Writing a commentary in Scrapbox is going to be a commentary on how it relates to other information.
- Interleaved practice Implementing a schedule of practice that mixes different kinds of problems, or a schedule of study that mixes different kinds of material, within a single study session
- Mixing different types of learning objects
