What are some effective learning techniques based on scientific research?

Research shows techniques like spaced repetition, active recall, and interleaved practice enhance learning.

Can you explain how spaced repetition works?

Spaced repetition involves reviewing information at increasing intervals, which helps reinforce memory retention.

What is active recall and why is it effective?

Active recall is the practice of retrieving information from memory, which strengthens neural connections and improves retention.

Are there any specific studies that support these techniques?

Yes, studies like those by Cepeda et al. (2006) and Roediger & Butler (2011) provide strong evidence for these techniques.
