    Has anybody had a chance to use these tips yet? Curious if you've found them useful/successful!

    “Embarrassement can play a role” Makes sense because my brain can remember every SINGLE embarrassing thing I’ve ever done
  • @jmcm152
    1. Testing- to failure 2. Spacing- take breaks long enough that you almost forget 3. Interlieving- mix it up
  • @Falzelo
    I accidentally do "spacing" all the times I call it procrastination
  • @Diaming787
    These are the most non-clickbait videos I've ever watched
  • @makaylamosby7
    Also imagine being sponsored by freaking bill gates lol
  • "Your brain takes extra effort to not make the same mistake twice" My whole being: Am I a joke to you?
  • @zspark1
    I went to the same university and same program as Mitch and him talking about those physics quizzes is giving me war flashbacks
  • Summary for more study time. - Before you start learning the material, take a test to embarrass yourself so that you hypercorrect. - Space out study sessions by about a day - Whilst studying, change the material you learn every 30 minutes or so If you have time, watch the video. Like so other people in a rush can see. Edit: 1) Oh my goodness, this is the most likes I've ever had, thank you! 2) I'm sorry, I'm not good at summaries; I tried...

  • The problem with spacing is that I’ll forget to do it the second time.
  • @Buildings1772
    1) tests: start with the practice tests. you'll get a lot wrong but thanks to the hypercorrection effect you'll be more likely to remember something when you correct yourself. 2) spacing: practice something then wait almost long enough to have forgetting the material before practicing it again. youre better off with 1 hour prac now and 1 hour later than 2 hours in one sitting. 3) interleaving: instead of studying the same thing over mix up and vary the challenge. in a study of piano players those who only practiced a jump of 20 key were far worse off than those who practiced many intervals. (10 12 15 30 ect) the many interval practicers were even better at the 20 key jump than the pure 20 key practicers.

    Just imagine some scientist tell you to learn some Spanish vocab for 8 hours and then 8 years later they just pop up and say oh we forgot but here's your Spanish test
  • @isanoamessing
    i do that hypercorrection my whole life without noticing😂😳
  • @jacobgelman7015
    #1: Generation Effect=Test yourself before the actual test #2: Interleaving=Vary the material #3: Spacing=Review material after it’s almost forgotten
  • @calebm8023
    Somebody remind me to watch this again a month from now.

    I haven't followed you guys since my BSc 7 years ago but the new corona video caught my eye so I'm back. I am just LOVING the development of this channel over time!!! Seeing you guys on camera vs the old school whiteboard only method has such a great effect, and when I saw Bill and Melinda partnered with you I fully got chills. So excited about the growth. big love!
