It turns out that highlighting and rereading are not the best methods for committing information to memory because they are not active. In fact, these methods can create an illusion of knowledge that is not entirely accurate. As we reread a section, it becomes easier and easier to read, which can make us feel like we know the material well. However, research suggests that a more effective way to study is to engage in the harder, effortful task of writing things out on note cards and testing oneself. #ActiveLearning #EffectiveStudying #NoteCards #TestingKnowledge #MemoryRetention
