    I hope you enjoyed today's video. 📚 Encoding is just the act of moving information from the temporary store in your working memory into the permanent store in your long-term memory and the more relevant we make new content the easier it is to learn. I'll be jumping into a practical walkthrough of how I apply these strategies when learning in the next video in the series and any other topics you'd like to see covered let me know in the comments below.
    ⚗ I'll also be putting together a full list of references for all the evidence-based learning series so do let me know via my newsletter or the comments if you'd like to get a copy of this join.alexanderfyoung.com/newsletter

      hey hi alexander
      i used to question everything to develop curiosity and less boredome about topic ...so finding answers to questions make better understanding things
      now i apply chunking ( grouping up ) if there is series of factual one or i made funny association like in brain there locus coeruleus ...i forgot coeruleus so i make it as ceo rule us and for cingulate cortec i use sing is late
      i group up parts like 1.thalamus , hyper thalamus 2. amaldalaga , hippocampus 3. prefrontal cortex , cingulate cortex 4 . locus coerule and ceribulam , for facts mnemonic , association ,visualisation story method, peg system etc
      if they facts i grasp like this i am software engineer
      for deep undertanding i use blooms taxanomy i apply , analyse ,evaluate , create
      now i teach the topic in very simply way .... this is active recall
      now i have great command on the topic i revise the topic actively by end of the day , 2 nd day , 7th day , 14th , 30 th day ....and every 30 days if neccesary
      any suggestions please is this good ? or any changes needed ... implemented is bit tough

    I’m so glad I found your channel. I’ve been trying to find in depth explanations about encoding and studying efficiently since the start of this year and this was the first video that explained it so well and concisely. Thank you so much fo your hard work!

    Easily one of the best, most succinct videos I've seen on encoding and higher order learning. 👍 🧠 Dude you seriously deserve more subs; can't wait to see the channel grow! Thanks for this video. 😊

    I find it very useful to go back after my exam and review those wrong answers and understand why I failed them. Even if that material is not going to be reviewed in the future, it will help improve myself for the nxt tests. It is time-consuming but not really bc at the end, it is focused on improving your technique.

    Hi my friend recommended that if u make the subtitle in arabic and Chinese it will go viral cuz alot of medstudent need ur advice and they search on how to learn in arabic

    This is seriously so informative and also practical in a way that I haven't seen in any other video, so relatable to the my major too which made it more powerful.
    Thanks alot for this video, I can't explain the clearance I felt in my mind after watching it.
    I have less than a month for my finals but I will try to apply it as much as possible.

    Can you please share how to study specific subjects like physiology, pathology, pharmacology etc. ??

    You know, I highly respect the medical creators talking about this, I just wished I found more that were taking similar exams as me (American system) because the holy grail for USMLEs is consistent active recall with something like Anki, but I want to see more of them talk about encoding more.
    Still love the tips though

    Disclaimer: english is not my first language, if I make any mistakes feel free to correct me.
    I have a few questions: What do I do when I have no prior knowledge of the subject I'm learning and studying? For example it's the first time familiarising myself with the subject. Does this technique really work for any subject? Because in the various videos I've seen, almost everyone is making examples with medical sciences and other more technical and scientific subjects, how can I apply this methods to humanities, like philosophy, history etc. Can I still apply this technique even if I have mental health problems that affect my concentration, focus and memory? For example ADHD, anxiety, depression etc. What if I don't have good sleeping patterns and I'm always tired? How can I adapt the technique to the problems aforementioned? Is it possible in the first place? I know you should seek medical attention if you have this difficulties, but if you are a student while you seek help you still need to study. I hope I explained myself well and that my questions are pertinent and not stupid. I didn't watched all the videos on the channel, so if the questions were already answered can someone please link the video. I thank whoever read this long comment,and took time to answer.

      To start learning something new ask yourself: what is it that I will learn or am about to learn ? Along the way if you don't understand something, write that down as a question then seek the answer to ultimately make the connection. ie. Learn the core principles about that subject (foundation creation) then ask questions about the principles (build the framework) then make connections within the framework by introducing new sub topics about it or related topics (the matrix ie filling the internal framework).

    Dr. Young, would you recommend that I read every question and then go back and answer them when I take a exam?

    • @AlexanderFYoung
      @AlexanderFYoung  2 года назад +1

      Hey Brian, I’d recommend answering as you go for the majority of exams. This is because you can be quite tight for time and you want to ensure you finish.
      A very quick

    Would you advise making flash cards for active recall from exam papers or from my notes?

    • @knuckles1546
      @knuckles1546 Год назад +2

      He said mnemonics involve in general the lowest level of learning, so I’d say it’s not ideal.

    Where does practice multiple choice questions fit in the bloom’s taxonomy ?
    For example Uworld questions that prepare for med school exams

      @g12nm Год назад +1

      Depends on the kind of questions that you do.
      Why questions are deeper processing questions ( hence high utility)
      What questions are lower order

  • @RobertSpiller
    @RobertSpiller 2 года назад +1

    How could these techniques be used in coding/programming? For example, tuples is something I've never heard of before....how can this be linked or chunked to something I already know?

  • @jason2b29
    @jason2b29 2 года назад

    Hi, Dr Young. I study psychology and there are a lot of experiments needed to be remembered. I just wondering what is the best way to make flashcards for them, What question should I ask myself? Moreover, you said you write questions at the end of the diagram/paragraph and then use the Feynman technique, so when will you write down the answer for those questions, before or after using the Feynman technique? Lastly, you have mentioned spacing but if I got a lot of flashcards for each subject every week and I have to study those flashcards after 1 day, 4 days then 1 week. So, it is not possible to stick with the study plan if I space out those study sessions.

    hey i have a question does encoding method of technique need to be revise or not and if we have to revise topic how often should it bet like i have to learn over 75 unit with almost 10 chapter is each unit in 2 months for exam how should we proceed and what technique should we use in this case to learn and remember .
    how should we proceed and what technique should we use in this case to learn and remember . ( all chapter are from different subject math's , physic and chemistry and biology ) and how should i schedule my time i have to go to collage for 8 hrs .

    • @phanikatam4048
      @phanikatam4048 Год назад

      every week . if you have command on that topic its very easy for you recall it takes less than 1 hour to recall what you read in a week

    The main results don't look statistically significant to the control - so I infer most people use the deep learning mode anyway even without being asked how they feel

    What if we study for 1 hour then sleep 1 hour and repeat the process ?
