Isn't spaced repetition, like, the principle way of learning ... how can a course on learning not include it?
I didn't think we knew how information is laid down in/by neurons: could you precis this "actual science" that it teaches?
- quarok 6y agoWhat's weird about the above comment is that this course specifically talks about spaced repetition and active recall as the only ways to learn effectively. I took this course and it revolutionised my life - but mostly because I started using Anki afterwards.
- dqpb 6y agoI just checked the course. Spaced Repetition is listed in the glossary of terms, so you're right that it's in there somewhere. I don't remember it as being a primary topic, whereas active recall is primary.
- dqpb 6y agoThis course also revolutionized my life, but I find spaced repetition to introduce too much pointless overhead. Instead I focus on aggressive active recall until I understand the content and then I move on.
- dqpb 6y agoThis is exactly why you should take the course. To clear up the misconception that spaced repetition is the principle way of learning.
