Interesting: memory connected to diet and sleep. May not be thought of immediately. 
and also doing mental exercises can increase the mental size of your brain. ]]> 2021-09-22 04:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1758982027 ashari1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1759396289 Interesting: term "encoding." Reminds me of programming. Used in terms of memory, and that's connected how historically memory has been compared to computers. 

Retrieval: also mentioned, to go back and forth. That reinforces what already know, but it's a good understanding. 

Balanced diet and nutrients reminds to eat properly. Can improve. 

Similar to Psychology class, you cannot read it once, you need to be attentive to it. 

Attentiveness. If you forget, it's not your memory is bad, you weren't paying attention. ]]> 2021-09-22 08:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1759396289 ashari1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1762456195 Paying attention means you can remember. 
Remembering a memory creates a stronger neural pathway. And to recall thinks about how to get information. Sometimes passive reading doesn't work as well as being more attentive. Actively memorizing lists of vocabulary, for instance. Remember to pay attention. ]]> 2021-09-23 09:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1762456195 ksohyun231_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1794077278 Personally, my way of studying significantly depends on the class. For some of the classes, I have effective strategies whereas for some classes l have not developed or was able to keep up with a technique.  For example, for classes such as math and chemistry, which I have more interest to, I always review the work as soon as possible when I have learned the concept during class. Also, during the time, I consistently use the spaced repetition strategy to reinforce the concepts. As a result, I usually don't have to cram all the studying before a summative. On the other hand, for other classes, I leave it to the last minute before my summative and would try to cover the whole unit in 1-2 days, and therefore would not perform as wanted. From my experience, I can clearly see the effectiveness of the two techniques in the videos to enhance our learning. However, the video has mentioned that going through multiple topics than just trying to get one perfect would be better for our learning. This is was very new to me as I always thought that we should get one concept perfect before moving on the the next one.

I thought that completing tasks or studying concepts one-by-one was the best way to learn new things since it allows me to concentrate on one for a fair amount of time. Yet, I have experienced forgetting those I have learned earlier rights after studying new things. I am willing to try out the method suggested in the video with frequently reviewing so that the memory lasts long.]]> 2021-10-06 13:40:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1796510193 olouisa22_2 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798578271 Over time, retention decreases when trying to learn something new and without review, you will forget a large proportion of the material - something I can certainly resonate with. Prioritising what to study using space rep is one example of how you might study. It extends what I already know about studying way before the actual exam/test is taking place. For spaced repetition, you also need to plan ahead AND stick to it. You are challenging yourself to apply your learning right when you're starting to forget. Knowledge can change quite quick! It's important to stay current! I get this, yet it's not something I've considered before. If you study a couple of things at once, you'll learn more - interleaved learning. How do you figure out which study method works best for you? Would it be a mix of various methods (not only including spaced repetition and interleaved learning) or individual methods depending on your subject or timing?]]> 2021-10-07 03:40:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798578271 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798579612 I found the video to be useful in being more deliberate about study methods. I have used parts of this methods in the past but not deliberately and not in the most effective ways possible. I start studying for exams a week or two before and use some spaced repetition but if I am aware of the method I am using I plan better and optimize by learning. Sometimes I study multiple topics at a time because i get board with studying one and usually I start with the topic which is easiest or the most interesting. I think this method works if you give yourself enough time and return to it a few times. If you study all topics at once a day before the test I think that it will all be quite jumbled but if there is enough time then it could be a good method ]]> 2021-10-07 03:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798579612 saalia221_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798582239 Something I thought was interesting is how studying more than one topic at once is actuallu better. I always felt that was an inefficient way to work and a better way was to go topic by topic. The way I normally work is choosing a subject and going over it topic by topic either by priority/importance or the difficulty level but perhaps I can try a new strategy now. 
I was less surprised with the video on spaced repetition because I constantly hear my teachers telling me to review material from Y1 because some of the topics still apply now and will be tested on the final. I think this is something I do for some classes but not for others. For example, with chem I tend to move on after a unit and then when I come back to it, if ever, I am rusty or need extra help. Putting more effort in employing this strategy is something I plan to do. ]]> 2021-10-07 03:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798582239 garnav221_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798582328 Mine is very similar to Junsu's, I never really thought of studying different topics together. It hasn't really crossed my mind but thanks to that third video I might try incorporating it into my learning to see if there are any changes. The other two videos we watched I feel like in most cases I sort of follow what is being said by them.]]> 2021-10-07 03:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798582328 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798582431 I found both of the learning suggestions really interesting and how it connects with what we saw in Week 1. Spaced repetition talks about how it is important to apply knowledge as you start to forget. I tend to leave everything to the last minute and by the time semester exams come, I struggle to finish revising everything. That is why I think spaced repetition might be a good learning technique for me. But, I can also bring in interleaved learning to help support my learning better. As the video mentioned, learning few topics prompts the brain the use more energy so it can retain information much better. I tend to learn a topic by topic but I can change my methods up using this technique and I believe it can help me tremendously. But, while watching the video, I couldn't help but notice how much resonated with what we learn in Week 1. In Week 1's video, the video mentioned how it is important to go back and forth to remember things better and I can see how this idea is weaved into each of learning suggestions we saw today.]]> 2021-10-07 03:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798582431 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798583355 The two videos covered different memory strategies. In the first video, it talked about spaced repetition which is where you review materials in steps just as you are about to forget the material, which I had heard of before. The second video looked at a concept that I had never heard of before called interleaved learning which is where you study more things at once rather than one topic at a time. 

When I revise, I think I use more of the first strategy as I tend to do smaller sessions but frequently. However sometimes, I do cram the night before especially if I have a lot of tests and projects in a week. If the second suggestion works too, I am willing to give it a try even if it seems strange to me to learn multiple things at once rather than focusing on one topic at a time. ]]> 2021-10-07 03:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798583355 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798599329 At the moment, I have implemented the Interleaved learning. I never knew that this was the terminology for this way of studying. Still, this strategy became inefficient over time, and it would take longer to complete work, and it was harder to prioritize. Hence, I want to change my plan to the spaced relation as I believe that with this strategy, I will be able to understand my concepts better and have more ways to prioritize the work I need to complete. I also believe that spaced learning is better long-term and as an IB Econ student and someone planning to major in business studies, retaining information from the previous years will be critical. At the moment, the thing that is working for me is a reward-based learning system. For example, I do my work but and challenge myself to complete it at a certain time with a certain expectation, and if I complete the work in the time frame, I reward myself like buy a cheeseburger, etc. However, being a major procrastinator, I am struggling to employ better and more effective ways to study and this is something I want to change desperately. (sajiv)]]> 2021-10-07 03:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798599329 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798627738 I think one thing that resonated with me was the spaced repetition. I have studied for exams like that in the past, especially when the class is heavy in content and requires memorizing or applying a lot of terms and concepts. So, this is something I have found that works well with my studying techniques. Before watching the video, I had not heard of interleaved learning and to me this was a little confusing. I found it difficult to understand how studying multiple concepts at once can be more effective (especially with regards to time management) than studying each concept individually.]]> 2021-10-07 04:06:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798627738 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798790232 I found the second video very interesting because I tend to finish one topic before I move on to the next, but the video suggests that studying more than one topic at a time is a more effective way. I don't quite understand how and why interleaved learning is more effective than the other, and personally think it's going to be more confusing and forgettable than the first strategy. Since I've implemented the spaced repetition strategy and it's been working fine so far, I don't see the need for interleaved learning in my way of learning. Still, I'm willing to try the strategy.]]> 2021-10-07 05:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798790232 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798810996 Even though I realized the spaced repetition technique as I knew that revising my works and learnings is helpful, I wasn't that familiar with the revision period. Henceforth, I will try to apply it in my learnings since now I understand that this technique works in the best efficient way when you review the information before it is forgotten. I wasn't aware of the interleaved practice but even though I did, I would have not believed it. It would have not made sense that this technique is better than learning one concept after one because learning things all at once would be confusing. Still, now that I'm watching this video, I acknowledge that this method of studying is better as it maximizes the temporal spacing between repetitions.]]> 2021-10-07 05:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1798810996 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799185622 For myself I think that the spaced repetition method would be best for retaining studied knowledge and would help me succeed the most in class. I have found that in classes where I am more passionate about the topic, I tend to gravitate towards that style of studying, and as a result I have retained a lot more knowledge relative to my other classes. In college one of my initial goals is to use this studying method for all of my classes as a mean of achieving smart, not hard studying.]]> 2021-10-07 09:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799185622 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799185913 The videos were both really helpful especially since I am learning to be a better learner! The first video about space repetition was more helpful for me to further explore and implement because I have noticed in the past that when I learn things for longer and more spaced out it is more likely to be in my long term memory. This can be challenging as I find that I can only do hard core studying closer to the test. However, I think learning with a slower more spaced out pace and quizzing myself when I forget things will help me retain my content better. The second video emphasized studying several concepts at once to make you brain work harder. It sounds interesting but I’m not sure how I would implement this, with my classes which have complicated and heavy content.]]> 2021-10-07 09:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799185913 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799186586 I think that the first video about spaced repetition are very interesting to me and also I saw this method quite frequently since I as in Korea. I really emphasize to this method of losing the memory of what I learned as time goes by, and having a review will keep the memory activated. I will use this method to the subjects to keep my understanding clear and be ready for the following summatives and tests. ]]> 2021-10-07 09:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799186586 cnoor221_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799192899
from watching the videos, I learned new ways of studying. I learned that the best time to study was before forgetting the knowledge which was something completely new to me, and a study method I never used. 

Additionally, I learned that connecting units together was the best way to study and that it was more effective than studying a unit at the time which was what I used to do.  I will try to incorporate those methods when iI studies and see if they're effective for me. 

I understood the importance of reviewing content before forgetting it but did not know that it was the most effective study method.]]> 2021-10-07 09:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799192899 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799202139 I especially found the first method of learning interesting because it was the exact opposite of how I study. I have a tendency of only studying the day before the exam. I have done all the tests pretty well so I thought that I was studying in a right way. However, I realized that most of the concepts that I learned in the class are gone from my brain. After watching this video, I realized that I should use my time more wisely to distribute my study time effectively. I will try out the first method suggested in the video from now on. ]]> 2021-10-07 09:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799202139 ssubeen221_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799212139 One thing that resonates with me is the spaced repetition. Because with this kind of learning, I can frequently check my progress and I feel more engaged in continuing the course. So I would continue my learning with spaced repetition to keep track on the classes and exams that follow at the end ]]> 2021-10-07 09:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799212139 atulasi231_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799234057 The videos both contained very good tips. I understood that the purpose of both is to make our minds work harder. From the first video, I learned that the best time to study content is before we forget it. This is something I want to implement because I usually only review information after I learn it and before a test. I think going through a checklist of what I need to know and seeing whether I remember it will help me determine when I am about to forget the content and when I need to review it. Overall, doing this will probably help me recall information better and retain it in the long term. The second video proposes that we study multiple concepts at once. I am not sure how this will work for me because I feel like doing this might make me lose focus. ]]> 2021-10-07 09:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799234057 dachilles221_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799311304 Spaced repetition really makes a lot of sense to me and I think that it is a strategy that I  could/should employ as a learner. I don't typically cram study before tests so this technique made sense to me. It seems like it would require a strong discipline, however, constantly going back and reviewing a certain topic just before I forget it. 

The interleaved learning video was a little more confusing to me but I understand the idea of making the brain work harder to learn so that I can remember for longer. It's just like a muscle, the more I strain the muscle (without seriously injuring myself) and breaking the fibers, the stronger they will grow back. ]]> 2021-10-07 10:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1799311304 brishi23 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1800413719 I believe I have learnt new things from both videos. Video 1 about Spaced Repetition was rather interesting, as it was able to prove that affective long-term learning requires repetitive long-term short recollection time. Video 2 about interleaved learning is also rather interesting. I never knew that learning multiple things at once can help with more effective learning.]]> 2021-10-07 16:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1800413719 oorsanaltan22_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1800756139 I found both videos very helpful in order to improve my working with very helpful methods. First video was talking about the spaced repetition and I found it very helpful that I can even think of using it because I think it would be beneficial for me. As I don't get stressed out before the exams, it matches with my ideas. Only problem is it requires a lot of commitment to the strategy but still I think I can do it. 

Second video was about interleaved learning and I found it interesting and confusing. I wouldn't think that studying two things at the same time would be actually helpful. The idea behind is to make the brain work harder to learn about something so that you can remember it for a longer. ]]> 2021-10-07 19:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1800756139 mabhim221_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1801601722 Something that resonated with me while watching the 2 videos was that I've always used Block learning by learning and mastering different concepts one at a time. But as I noticed how it didn't work well for me last year, I want to try a more interleaved learning approach to see any difference.

Moreover, the second video also resonated with me because I also have a tendency to forget what I have learned after I have "mastered it" for a short time. Therefore, when they showed the benefits of using the learning technique used statistical analysis, I wanted to see how it work for me in future]]> 2021-10-08 03:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1801601722 mjacob251_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1801629565 I like how they talked about time and how is plays a role in studying its better to study often with breaks over a long period of time the cramming before a test. this is better because you can remember better and build better connections]]> 2021-10-08 03:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1801629565 rdiya221_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1801662238 I found that both of the videos contained really good advice for successful and efficient learning. I particularly resonated with spaced repetition as I'm a huge advocate for incremental learning and small, continuous improvements (even if I don't practice it all the time). Especially when studying for knowledge and content-heavy tests, I tend to forget most of what I learned as I end up revising and going over the material in one or two sittings. For this, I think that repetitive learning and doing it in increments will increase my memory and learning tenfold. 

I wasn't really familiar with interleaved learning prior to this video. I've been conditioned to think that studying or learning one thing at a time is the most effective method of learning. I didn't know that learning a few things at once actually makes your brain work harder, learning much better. I'll try to implement this method into my learning as well. ]]> 2021-10-08 04:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1801662238 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1801741110 Overall, from watching these videos, I have learned new ways of studying. Although I may have been doing these methods without knowing, both videos taught me more about these new ways of learning. I personally found the second video interesting. Later when I have a lot of test to study for, I would like to try the strategy on the second video. ]]> 2021-10-08 05:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1801741110 gshanmuga231_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1802146882 One thing that resonated with me was spacing out my learning. I feel like whenever I do that, my understanding of a topic becomes much better. I am confused on how I could place my studying out to get those benefits, though. ]]> 2021-10-08 09:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1802146882 desperance221_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1802817144 The video that really inspired to change my way/method of studying is the one about space repetition. Indeed I sometimes use that technique and it works really well. But I often go back to the old method of starting to study two days before the actual test. I think I am really going to try to create for myself a plan each time I have test( 1 week before). 

The video also reminded me that I usually use the wrong method to  study, I often take notes and go over my lessons when what I should be doing is practicing especially in classes such as maths, language and literature. ]]> 2021-10-08 15:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1802817144 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1803581370 The two videos suggested how effectively we can memorize and learn the topic. I strongly agree with the first video. This video advises spaced repetition that we apply knowledge as we start to forget. I have experienced a similar situation. When I learned AP Psych for the first, I learned one chapter just before the exam. And I believed in my memorizing ability. However, I totally forgot the concepts. Since then, I have started to apply knowledge, which I learned, to real life. So I could memorize in the more long term. In addition, I think that time management is also crucial. Spending a lot of time on one concept is not an efficient way. The most important is the process of how I learn, based on spaced repetition and time management. ]]> 2021-10-09 02:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1803581370 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1806126260 For me, the videos were quite interesting and I definitely learnt a lot of unexpected things about memory. One of the most interesting things was that memory is quite heavily impacted by physical aspects such as nutrition and sleep, which I hadn't expected, as memory has a much more cerebral/mental perception. The idea of spaced repetition was also quite interesting to me. Typically, I don't usually study several topics at the same time and instead prefer to work 1 by 1. However, I do feel that this does lead to fatigue/frustration often, so I would like to try this method out.]]> 2021-10-10 21:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1806126260 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1810011047 I can definitely concur with the effects of cramming before a test and how it's basically unreliable for retaining knowledge over time. However, I find it difficult to actually apply spaced repetition learning to my own academic learning. I've definitely known about it for a while now, but just failing to apply it to my learning has been my downfall. I feel like knowing effective strategies to help apply such learning can definitely help me in the long run and into university.]]> 2021-10-12 07:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1810011047 hisabella231_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1817522872 One thing from the video which supports what I already know is spacing out your study time rather than cramming it all into one night. I have seen that when I space my learning out I do better since I find it easier to identify the topics which I feel more or less comfortable in. One idea which was new to me is that it is more effective to study more than one topic/subject at once rather than focusing on one and solidifying your knowledge. In the future I think that I will take this into account and use it within my own studies to see if I improve. ]]> 2021-10-14 15:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1817522872 gshanmuga231_1 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1850402770 One helpful tip I have for studying is coming up with a clear way to pace out your learning. If you have a schedule, maybe allocate some time per topic or sub-unit before a test, where you review ahead of time. I think it's really important to not spend too much time on just one topic at a go because it may make it boring. ]]> 2021-10-28 05:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1850402770 khoseop24_2 https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1850653993 One thing from the video is find my way of studying method and having plan to clear time to have attention during i study on also making connection with which one i need to remember  ]]> 2021-10-28 07:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ashari1/26q45ff5wsejqwfj/wish/1850653993
