Remarks:
The Worst
Highlighting and underlining led the authorsメ list of ineffective learning strategies. Although they are common practices, studies show they offer no benefit beyond simply reading the text. Some research even indicates that highlighting can get in the way of learning because it draws attention to individual facts, it may hamper the process of making connections and drawing inferences. Nearly as bad is the practice of rereading, a common exercise that is much less effective than some of the better techniques you can use. Lastly, summarizing, or writing down the main points contained in a text, can be helpful for those who are skilled at it, but again, there are far better ways to spend your study time. Highlighting, underlining, rereading and summarizing were all rated by the authors as being of モlow utility.ヤ
The Best
In contrast to familiar practices like highlighting and rereading, the learning strategies with the most evidence to support them arenメt well known outside the psych lab. Take distributed practice, for example. This tactic involves spreading out your study sessions, rather than engaging in one marathon. Cramming information at the last minute may allow you to get through that test or meeting, but the material will quickly disappear from memory. Itメs much more effective to dip into the material at intervals over time. And the longer you want to remember the information, whether itメs two weeks or two years, the longer the intervals should be.
