Smarter Studying with Spaced Repetition: Unlocking Long-Term Memory

The video discusses the inefficacy of cramming and introduces spaced repetition as a superior learning strategy. Spaced repetition involves reviewing new information shortly after learning it to combat the forgetting curve, which shows that we forget most of what we learn within a week. By using spaced repetition, we can retain 80-90% of information, as opposed to forgetting it. The video explains how this method strengthens brain connections and enhances understanding. It also provides practical tips for implementing spaced repetition, such as using flashcards or apps like Anki, and emphasizes the importance of active recall.
