How to Study Using the Generation Effect
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 ноя 2019
- One of the first videos I made on this channel was called “Why You’re Bad at Exams, but Great at Video Games”. I talked about the generation effect and how video games use this well to teach you how they work, but how school doesn’t always do that. So in this video (which is long overdue) I’ll be doing a followup to that video and how to implement the generation effect into your studying. After this, you should be able to prepare to take down exams as well as you prepare to take down bosses!

Hitler reading manga while eating spaghetti
Yeah that info is stuck with me until i die thanks
Hi, you probabily already forgot, so i'm remembering you again:
HITLER READING MANGA WHILE EATING SPAGHETTI
That’s what I’m here for!
hitler watching hentai and eating pizza
@@ahmedosama7232 Thanks Ill just walk straight back into hell now
So you won't forget hitler reading manga and eating spaghetti
The axis: hitler eating spagheti and reading manga

Eating apple pie would be more accurate but otherwise that's very true
Haha, is the gun the Americans? If so, you can see why we won the war 😉
I love that this actually helps...and that I'm recalling the faces of Hetalia characters instead of the actual landmasses and flags.

My earbuds were not in all the way so I had the volume up high, and it happened between me pushing them back in and turning the volume down.
It jump scared me too! 🤣

@@DarylTalksGames don't apologise for things like that bro, it's nothing to worry about. I love a good unexpected jumpscare every once in a while and also it was fuckin hilarious, keep it up!

@@mrknarf4438 i think i first saw it in Jim Butcher's "Dresden Files" series
Great video, I laughed out loud at the wrestlers getting confused line. Quick note on Fairy types being weak to steel types. I would have thought this stems from stories of iron being poisonous to fairies in Celtic mythology, a trope often reused in fantasy novels that contain fairies.
That’s so interesting! A couple people mentioned that mythology bit, I wonder if that was the logic the devs used when they added fairy type. Again, just another great example of finding logic in something that may not have an explanation at face value.
The celtic bit also factors into Fairy>Dragon. Fey magic, being alien and unnatural, was anathema to sources of natural magic, such as dragons. Not sure if Celtic mythos has dragons specifically, but it does have creatures that could be labeled as such.
5:28 You got me with that discord exit sound, I was scared for a second that my discord was haunted xd
I was in a discord call when it was played, I had to alt tab to check if my call dropped!
Steel vs Fairy does make sense, because in mythology, fairies are vulnerable against Iron (like werewolves and other "evil" creatures are vulnerable against silver)
also stealing is not fair.

After watching this I felt like I might do better on my tests.
Opening maths book: *Nope*
My highschool teacher just told the class that note taking was the best way of studying. I knew it was totally wrong but I didn’t say anything because i didn’t wanna be THAT kid in the middle of class....
I think I’m going to anonymously leave a QR code of this video and see what he does :)
What happened?
@@stephencolbert5 It is actually questionable if the student actually pays attention even if he takes notes. I live in Russia, and in school we were asked to keep notes on two subjects - history and the russian literature. On history classes, everybody took taking notes seriously, as most of the information was prepared as a compilation of a lot of actual scientific historic sources (our teacher had an analog of PhD in Russia), so the textbook was never ever enough to prepare for the tests and exams. And it was tough, but doable and definitely fare. And there was russian literature, where the notes were just a whim of the teacher, we barely ever had to reread them. At some point in time more than half a class realized that their notes will be read only by their teacher (not by them or by other classmates), so we started to pretend to take notes - write something that the teacher actually said, but not all times, randomly, without trying to make it coherent at all. So although the teacher saw us taking notes, he only got misinformed about us being attentive.
bro update us
notetaking IS a great way of studying, and probably the best way for the average student who isn't going to go out of their way to get creative with studying, so I wouldn't say your teacher was wrong. Of course HOW you take notes matters a lot too, if you're just mindlessly re-writing what it says on the board or in the textbook, then that's not much better than just taking pictures and never looking at them again. You have to take in the information, and re-write it while making it more concise, but still understandable. That way you make sure you've understood the information presented to you
One note to add to this: Exact study methods vary wildly. Personally I could never do flash cards. Every time I tried them, they actively made the studying process harder. Part of this was because I was burning time making a quiz based on factoids rather than working out how things relate to one another, and part of it was that to me flash cards felt enough like a game to me that they got me feeling like it's a game, and they're even less interesting than my parents' set of Trivial Pursuit from the 70s that literally nobody we know can get 90% of the A&E questions for anymore because they're all 50 year old meme culture.
Do try flash cards, definitely. They work for a lot of people, and by and large they're very effective. But if you find them completely ineffective, it's not that you are dumb, it's that flash cards are not your thing.
----
The thing that *did* work for me was taking notes...the right way. In lectures, I wrote notes by hand. By hand is good - there's all sorts of short hand and diagrams and stuff you can do with a pencil that will take you 10 times as long on a computer and then you've lost track of the thread of the lecture (If you have a good head for symbols, work on learning shorthand one summer; I never did, but it's super useful for writing down what someone says).
But by hand has a downside - your scribbled-at-the-pace-of-professor-talking notes are virtually illegible, If you don't clean them up in a day or two, you probably won't be able to read them. Other people probably already can't. I know _mine_ were unintelligible within hours sometimes. So I typed them up.
To do this, I pulled out whatever references I could to make sure I got things right. My notes. The lecture slides, if the prof publishes their powerpoint presentations. Any handouts, the right chunk of the textbook (most of my textbooks later on in university were locally published course notes written by the professor that were available for $20, these are the kind of textbook this works best with because the course follows them exactly because they *are* effectively the course.) I'd read through my notes and compare things I wasn't 100% sure of to what those other sources said. This was just a catch so that I didn't memorize incorrect information. Then I'd type it up, in full sentences, in proper English. (If English is not your most intuitive language, then go with that language, you want to be thinking about the subject matter, not about trying to remember word order for some language you don't fully understand. Unless of course the course matter is trying to learn that language, in which case practising writing in that language is a really good idea if you're at that level.) I'd use equations when I really needed to memorize this specific equation, but by and large, it was all text. No diagrams, no fancy formatting, just text.
The reason that works is the writing process. In order turn a lecture that is generally full of bullet points, tables and other visual aids and the scraps of my professor's ramblings that had in my hand written notes into a coherent, readable document, you need to understand the subject matter, understand how different things relate to one another, and so on. Some of these typed notes documents were never opened again. I'd skim lecture notes weeks later to test myself for an upcoming midterm or final exam and realize "oh, I still know all of this, why am I worried?" Some of them did get reopened, and some occasionally even got re-done using the same process but with my old version of typed notes rather than the hand written notes. Doing this, the one rule was I wasn't allowed to use the same sentence in the same place. This could be as simple as changing "The speed of light in a vacuum is 300 000 000 m/s" to "The speed of light is 300 000 000m/s in a vacuum, " though most sentences I had granted significantly more leeway that. I was in Engineering, so a lot of my notes were rooted in physics, but engineering physics is substantially more than just rote memorization of constants and of simplistic physics-land demonstrations like the forces acting on a block on a ramp of constant slope, because engineers who design in such simplified conditions are engineers who wind up designing deathtraps, because the real world is always more complicated than that. Why that one rule? Because if I couldn't come up with a second way to say it, I didn't understand the concept, I was just aping myself at some earlier point when I did understand it (or thought I did).
For me, rote repetition is terrible. It is the best way to dissuade me from caring about something, and actively murders my ability to focus on the subject. I need to get a good bite out of the topic and the time to chew it up before I can gobble it down. Reading doesn't do that. Flashcards don't either (though come to think of it, the act of making flashcards is a similarly creative process - I'm not sure why that aspect of flashcards is as bad for me as the repetitive drilling with them...maybe because their focus is too narrow for me, maybe because I go into that process knowing that I'm creating a tool I will despise using.) Writing - proper writing - is what works for me.
Or, if it's a practical skill, actually doing it. But there's not many things in school they let you learn purely by doing, at least not at the point where you're expected to be studying and taking exams. The only thing I can think of where I did a practical thing to learn how to do that practical thing and then took an exam for later was for my driver's license...though even there, I had a written test that I had to take to get the learner's permit.
You straight up whipped an entire essay, amigo, haha! The tip about writing the definitions differently each time is awesome - come to think of it, it is because of the generation effect as well.
Thank you for your advices, I'll try them and will see what sticks!
This 100%. It is good to suggest all sorts of potential study options, but ultimately what works for one person might not work for another, or might simply work well or not depending on the subject matter at hand.
Just like you, I also gave flash cards a try, but it really doesn't work for me whatsoever. What I did find to work for me personally, is to summarize the literature and lectures, in which I formulate sentences in my own words, and try to come up with my own examples to truly grasp something. Then ideally I can get my hands on a formative exam of sorts such that I actually have a relevant exam to practice with and probe my insights. As well as simply discussing some of my subjects over the dinner table. I am certain my relatives aren't remotely interested in half the stuff I shove on them, but going out of my way to discuss something and explain it to someone who has no comprehension of the subject whatsoever can really help deepen your insights or help you solve some things you were stuck on yourself (which I believe in programming they call the "rubber duck effect"). But that is what works for "me", that doesn't mean it works for the next person. I just don't think anyone should feel ashamed, as if their study method is suboptimal simply because they cannot "master" the "objectively superior study method".
Basically "Learning how to learn" course from Coursera, but in 20 minutes and with videogames.
I think my favorite take away from this was studying in shorter bursts. Naturally because I don't want to study for hours straight, but also because I get wrapped around my time management to the point where I plan so much, I never actually do anything. It was relieving to hear that marathon sessions is not the more beneficial method
Daryl: "If you can remember the image of Tinkerbell being pelted with an anvil you can remember the steel attacks..."
Me: "I don't remember Tinkerbell being pelted with an anvil in this sc-HOLY-SCHWARZSCHILD"
Also - I have a question about highlighting , something I've heard long ago - isn't the effectiveness of highlighting dependent on the amount of highlighted data? As in, after a certain percent of highlighted data the color becomes 'noise', so that in it would be ineffective to highlight more than eg. 5% of the page, but still good if it's less than 5%.
Yes, that is a big part of it. There was a good bit explaining that in the research I left in the description if I’m not mistaken. But for some reason, less is more haha
If you highlight, you either highlight things you just can't remember, or very important keywords. If everything is highlighted, nothing is.
I mean, it's more memorable than going on about cold iron, which was my goto mnemonic for Steel > Fairy before now, but also one of those bits of folklore that don't seem commonly known.
RIP Tinkerbell 2019, she died for our long term memory.
@@dominiccasts I learned it by fairy locked behind bars

Playing games especially jrpg with heavy story helps me learning english
Playing a MMO sandbox helps me learn english. I do not know about tenses and blah blah blah, but people say my grammar are a-okay
Edit : i live in a non-english-speaking country
That explains why taking notes during lectures helps even though tbh I never read my notes.
Well, no wonder i use fav game soundtracks to learn my whole life.
It’s the best, right?
Cold Iron being useful against the fae, anyone?
This is a great video though. I constantly make minor comparisons, even to small similarities.
Thank you Daryl for the anvil heart attack. Now I'll never forget the steel vs fairy effec- oh wait
Ah ah ahhhh, after watching your video i get it. Your teaching important philosophical outlooks on life and ways to use them showing flashy lights/ pictures/ examples using game speech to make us learn better and comfortably. HAHAHA DG, you ain't no hypocrite! I GET it now. Change your mindset and make things INTERESTING. I know short comments get read most, but i hope at least 1 person finds this. Good luck at whatever good you do!
Have a test tomorrow, whatching this instead of studying
Remember to use flashcards for the video. It'll help a lot on the test.
@@redwarrior2963 thanks a lot man
It's called procrastination
I'm pretty sure that every type matchup made logical sense to me that last I looked at it.
Also iron is generally good against faerie folk, but you also make a....compelling point
anyone know why ground is super effective against poison? i get that poison wouldn't be very effective against ground cause you can't really... poison the ground... like you can put poison in the ground but it won't do anything. it won't make the ground disappear. but what is the ground doing to the poison, exactly? burying it? but you could bury a lot of things, like faeries, bugs, plants, etc etc, but that's obviously not the logic with those three. ever since i discovered that type matchup by complete chance in ORAS, it's become burned into my mind... because i don't know WHY it is the way it is...
@@Darkfyyre I think of it in terms for how earth works as a natural filter for a lot of contaminants when it's in a healthy state
Thank you for making this. I hear a lot of this same advice and I always tend to be too unmotivated to follow it but somehow putting it in the context of something I understand makes it all seem a lot more achievable. Your laid back and understanding tone helps a lot, all too often people tell me these things in the tone of “you just need to do better” and it just makes me feel stupid and terrible for not taking their advice onboard and makes me even less motivated to do so. A little bit of understanding goes a long way.

Thank you I will never forget this XD
I never knew the axis powers before. Now, I’m literally going to be unable to forget!
Thanks watching this while procrastinating studying
Thank you very much for validating my thoughts on highlighting. I never got much out of doing it, but gotta act like I'm reading I guess (even though I was anyways).
This is the only video that explained things using gaming similes where I didn't feel talked down to. Great video!
THIS MINDSET IS SO COOL! I’m gonna think of school as a video game now. I feel like I can learn so much more
[Chapter 3] I kind of find this when playing a board game. Just reading all the rules can be overwhelming, so I get the basic rules, and either figure it out through common sense or refer back to the rule book when I need it.
A lot of times i find myself finding "shortcuts" for choosing the correct answer when i practice with others (like recognising the correct answer from the first 2 characters of the word), but during the test we have to write the entire aswer from memory
I case just recommend here the little "game/article" written by ncase called "how to remember anything forever-ish", and also with it most of what ncase has put on his website.
Thank you, one of the many who stumbled onto this channel thanks to the recommendation. Going into my exams soon and these are really helping.
Subscribed after RUclips pushed your first study video. Glad I stuck around because this video is great! Keep up the good work Daryl!
This is one of the best video I've ever seen on active recall and spaced repetition. I've been doing this type of studying for about 3 months and it really works
Aha! I'm here the night before an exam
Too bad I'm still not studying
The way I remember Steel > Fairy is that I watched the Maleficent movie and saw how Iron burns her
Also I remember Poison > Fairy literally just because Poison is only good against that and Grass. Poison kills nature. How modern of them.
The steel thing is an old concept... just not necessarily popular. A few folktales bring it up and it didn't really catch on.
I feel like I've seen a lot of popular media referring to old folktales having steel being good against fairies
I watched your previous video a couple months ago, and seeing the follow-up made me feel like studying hahah. Thank you for your content!
so this is why i can effectively takes notes by writing down a single word that's vaguely related to a subject
You deserve so much more subscribers than you have, I learn more form your videos than anybody else’s. Great work.
The longer the video, the better.
Yes, just what I need!
I have two Midterms and a test next week, so I need eveything I can to study XD
Great videos as always, bruv. I always appreciate how you gather and display all of this interesting information to us in such positive, uplifting formats. There’s always something to learn about psychology. Especially psychology in gaming. Cheers!
Tip 1: Use the new studying techniques to learn and remember these new techniques.
Tip 2: Study more about how to study better. Don't stop on using the advice only from this video, actively search for more information and experiment with new techniques. Then repeat Tip 1.
Some great sources:
• Book "Super Student" by Olav Schewe
• Coursera course "Learning how to learn" - Дмитрий, спасибо, что напомнил о нем (Thanks Dmitriy for reminding about it)
Great content! You actually managed to put into words what I have been trying to do for my whole college life, now I feel like I kind of wasted 3 years repeating the same engineering classes.
Also for those who use video game music like I do: play soundtracks from games you HAVEN'T played/experienced and don't intend to/can't. For me the association between game experience and music is stronger than music and study subject.
Also, you have good taste in anime.
I just wanted to point that out.
I was really sad when I watched the prequel to this beforehand and found out there wasn't a follow up episode. Now that it's here I can finally study all these years.
Thank you.
The fairy type weakness to steel makes a lot of sense, on account of fey in fiction having cold-wrought iron be a critical weakness of theirs.
I hadn’t thought of that! Just goes to show that if you relate it to something you already understand, you can make a lot of things make sense :)
I like that most of the time you gave tips on maths but I've seen no tips on learning for history class for example, but again I think I got a farily good idea, connecting the information, self quizzing and playing the same music during the studying and the test

I'd apply this knowledge to study and remember your banger videos, but then I would stop rewatching the one's I've already seen.. brilliant.
Super high production value! You deserve a lot more views than you're getting.
I find it funny how my energy for studying, learning and all that boring stuff has ramped up the moment I left secondary for College. The problem is, my college sucks to the point that our course may be imploding by Christmas, which is just wonderful. Now that I actually feel equipped for academia I don't actually have a good place to apply it, which is really irritating.
This channel is gold my dude. Please keep going...!
Gen 5 Pokemon Music is a gold mine, thanks for bringing that up again
I really do appreciate this advice. Although some of this cannot be applied to me, other parts can especially. I would like to also add that you can use ambiance noises to help make the environment around you more so like the one you are going to be studying if it applies. One of my main examples is studying something like History. There are ambiance noises that you can add to your listening experience. For me, anything in the 1900's I go for a ambiance track from any Bioshock or sometimes just to mix things up during like a war I listen to trench ambiance that makes me feel like I am learning about this in first person rather then an outside viewer (like video games that do a really good job at being immersive.) I know you can apply this to many other things, especially subjects that have more of a "story" factor to it. If not, you can always create your own to help you study. You're studying hard maths? Well guess what poof now they are apart of a code to unlock a door in Apeture Science while GlaDos is sending some comments your way. Studying Chemistry? Well those are just the formula for potions with muggle sounding names. Stuff like that should also help you a ton with this process and make your experience more immersive and memorable.
Hi Daryl.

I started to learn how to learn better using generation effect and the spacing effect a few years back when I went back at school to complete my High school degree.
I've never excelled that much academically ever before.
And with time, I feel like it only gets better, as I continue to develop my own learning mental path throught testing and better mastering of the techniques I already use.
Now going into a college degree next summer, learning the basis by myself at home while I can.
And I get it.
And the information stays.
And it feels so fucking good!
People who read the same text over and over and over until their eyes bleed and their brain cries for help don't know how much stress they could be relieved off if they adapted their learning mechanics to these few and beyond.
Learning can be so much more engaging than what people would think.
This was an entire chapter of my college psychology class, in one video
This is so useful. Imma show this to my class at the start of the semester from here on.
As a college student who has always struggled with achool, this video was amazing thank you so much for your help, I just discovered this channel today and I am definitely subbing
Amazing content! you just earned yourself a sub. I need more videos like these
Thanks... Always good to keep in mind
Steel beats fairy because wrought iron wards off evil spirits. It's why horseshoes are good luck charms and why cold iron in D&D is a thing.
Love your content!
I believe higher involvement is a key principle.
It's about going deep within the subject by reading, copying, writing, saying, hearing, teaching, discussing, practicing, making that subject reappear many times throughout the months, get involved emotionally, as emotions are strong binders for memory. It isn't for nothing that you learn more if you're having fun with it.
YES A FOLLOW UP FINALLY!!
what a positive and insightful video
Thank you for this video
Great work u did there!
this video is amazing, thank u so so so much
Thanks for the vid bro!
Dude, how could anyone dislike this video lol
Great tips! Thank you for putting in so much effort 💪
Immediately noticed the Monogatari Soundtrack. Superb vid overall!
wish i had this advice during highschool, still glad i got to hear it before college next year
07:21 - Steel being effective against fairies makes sense. Iron is in many, many myths a weapon against fae and other mythical creatures.
This video was really helpful. Thank you
Sidenote
fairy is weak against steel because in folklore silver is a fairy's weakness
Nice video!
Yesssss there was a limitless clip
The editing in this video is so cool (granted I'm biased as you added alot of the media I like)
Meruem is such a great antagonist
@@Professor_Utonium_ indeed~
Hey thanks for that! Glad we have similar taste haha
@@DarylTalksGames oh wow you actually saw it XD

My classes nowadays consist exclusively of math problems, and as im watching this im playing the midgame by doing 2 problems, taking a break to pull up a new video, rinse and repeat. And it works perfectly, once u start looking at studying for a meth test as grinding xp in a jrpg it becomes way less tedious. Every new problem is like a slime level enemy, and then the chapter quiz is a sub-boss, with the exam being the final boss. I think math tends to be the subject people dislike the most so this perspective could definitely help some people get thru it with the least amount of pain
So I just noticed that you recommended my video right at the end. I guess I had clicked away before I had the chance to notice originally. So thanks for the shoutout!
All of your videos are top tier.
I'm am educator and had some issues with the first video, but this one is so good that I'm going to reccomend it for my students
Neat! I hope I can still remeber what I learned in this video in the future.
So basically, I find manga and anime that relate to my courses and prepare to write a review on MAL. Noted
Keep up the good work!
Something I also find beneficial while studying, which may be in line with the last point you were getting at, is to remind yourself what the actual merit of learning this subject is to you. Now I really get that if you are a high school student, it might be hard to see any "merit" to geography or history or any of that, so it might not be easy to consider these subjects beyond "I am studying to pass my exam". But especially when you are in college/university and can therefore more selectively pick what you pursue, even if a subject is boring or hard, just stop to think why it might be useful to you. I find that it really helps you maintain motivation and can even create a tad of enjoyment in learning if it feels like you have an actual "purpose" for this subject beyond just "pass the exam".
For example, I am not particularly keen on maths subjects; a lot of it is abstract to me, and I am not particularly good at it either. So I was truly terrified of my statistics courses at university. However as someone pursuing a career in research, with every bit that I study, I try to envision how, if one day I conduct my own research, the statistical approach which I am learning about, is something that I may need. That it may be something that allows me to draw a conclusion about my study. And even if I instead wanted to be a therapist rather than a neuroscientist, comprehending these statistics allows me to comprehend research papers and how to interpret them, which may be important to keep up to date with the newest advancements in a clinical setting, too. Perhaps that's a bit an application of "thought reframing" or something, but it definitely has helped me maintain motivation.
