How I Learn NEW Content More Efficiently | Encoding & Active Recall Guide

I wanted to cover some of the core fundamentals of encoding and look at the research and evidence that highlights how encoding and active recall fit together to help us learn.
So in this video I dive into how I learn new content more efficiently by showing you some practical strategies and examples of how I reduce my cognitive load and use #encoding combined with #activerecall to learn #newcontent. I'm going to break down the complex topic of encoding into simple and easy to understand practical techniques which you can use right now to help you learn faster and more effectively.
I'm going to dive into some of the evidence and research behind encoding and how we process new information into our long-term memory then I'll touch on how we can encode effectively and then I'll go into five practical encoding strategies which you can use right now and how active recall relates to these.
