I’ve used spaced repetition and active recall help to memorize things that I already understand. It has been helpful to me.

Here is how I did it-:

  1. I UNDERSTAND something.

  2. I write short notes (version 1).

  3. I read version 1 notes. And again write some notes (version 2).

  4. I read notes version 2.

  5. I again write notes (version 3) and read them.

I keep doing this as much time I have. Generally doing this for 3 times ensures I remember everything. But that doesn't really help with learning new content.

How can I use this to learn new topics?

  • You have used this before apparently, so how did you use it then? I assume also on a new topic, right?

    What sort of thing do you think you need to "memorize"?

Memory is an important part of learning, but not all of it. There are many techniques to help you remember stuff, but you're forgetting another important aspect of learning: practice.

Employing whatever you're trying to learn also helps with learning.
