== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Retrieval Practice''' β The act of trying to recall information you have learned in the past. * '''The Testing Effect''' β The psychological phenomenon where long-term memory is increased when some of the learning period is devoted to retrieving the information through testing. * '''Active Recall''' β Another name for retrieval practice; the "Active" process of generating an answer. * '''Passive Review''' β The "Inefficient" way to study: re-reading notes or highlighting (which creates the "Illusion of Competence"). * '''Brain Dump''' (Free Recall) β A technique where you take a blank piece of paper and write down "Everything" you can remember about a topic. * '''The "Illusion of Competence"''' β When you "Feel" like you know something because it's "Right in front of you" in the book, but you can't remember it when the book is closed. * '''Pre-Testing''' β Taking a test on a subject *before* you learn it (which makes your brain more curious and "Sticky" for the real information). * '''Feedback''' β Knowing the "Correct answer" immediately after a retrieval attempt (essential for fixing mistakes). * '''Cue''' β A "Hint" or "Prompt" that helps trigger the retrieval process. * '''Consolidation''' β The biological process where "Retrieved" information is re-saved into the brain with stronger connections. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
