This is an attempt to answer a question or solve a problem before being shown the answer or the solution.

What is retrieval practice?

This is the act of retrieving knowledge and skill from memory. Self-quizzing allows a learner to identify areas of weak mastery. This should be a primary study strategy in place of rereading.

This is the process of finding additional layers of meaning in new material. Relate the material to what you already know, explain it to somebody else in your own words, or explain how it relates to your life outside of class.

What is interleaving?

This combines related topics and problem types to learn more effectively by using comparisons to discriminate between ideas and think flexibly.

What is spaced practice?

This means studying information more than once but leaving considerable time between practice sessions.

This is reviewing what has been learned in a recent class or experience and asking yourself questions about the depth of your understanding. It is a combination of retrieval practice and elaboration that adds layers to learning and strengthens skills.

This is the act of aligning your judgments of what you know and don’t know with objective feedback so as to avoid the illusions of mastery due to familiarity
