Traditional Study Techniques put data into the brain. Active recall is the exact opposite, where the students recall information from the brain. In short, Here are 4 techniques that worked really well for me in medical school. 1) Creating "Recall Questions" from my notes. 2) Using Anki for Active Recall & Spaced Repetition. (Gold Standard Study technique) 3) Using Multiple sensory modalities to study and recall. 4) Doing Practice Questions. I have a small challenge for you in the video! Here are the Answers to those questions. 1) What is the brain area responsible for memory? = Hippocampus. 2) What is the main difference between active recall and passive recall? = Passive recall is uploading information to the brain. Active recall is the process of recalling information from the brain. 3) What are the two study techniques the Anki app is based on? = Active Recall & Spaced Repetition. 4) Name three ways you can incorporate active recall? = Creating Questions, Using Anki, Multi-modal recall, Practice Questions.
