; Learning Landmarks
: '''The 'Feynman' Technique''' → A famous form of retrieval: try to "Explain" a complex concept to a "6-year-old." If you can't, you haven't "Retrieved" it well enough yet.
: '''Flashcards''' → The most popular tool for retrieval. The "Question" side forces the "Retrieval," and the "Answer" side provides the "Feedback."
: '''Clickers in the Classroom''' → Teachers using small remotes to "Test" students every 15 minutes, ensuring they are "Retrieving" during the lecture.
: '''Cornell Note-Taking''' → A system where you write "Questions" in the margin of your notes, which you then "Cover up" to test yourself later.
