The main points of the text are as follows: 1. The author went to medical school at the age of 18 and has since studied over 10,000 hours, primarily focused on revision and review. 2. The author used various techniques such as spaced repetition, active recall, flashcards, practice questions, and summary pages to study. 3. The author discovered the technique of interleaving, which involves learning by mixing different concepts, facts, and angles to gain a better understanding. 4. Interleaving helps the brain form a better picture of a concept by looking at it from multiple perspectives and comparing and contrasting different variations. 5. Interleaving can protect against tricky questions and improve memory and transfer of knowledge. 6. Research shows that interleaving has a moderately strong effect size for memory improvement and transfer. 7. Interleaving should involve comparing and contrasting different concepts, using various techniques to test knowledge, and exploring new perspectives. 8. It is important to look for variations within similar concepts for effective interleaving. 9. Interleaving should be done frequently rather than studying one concept on one day and another concept on another day. Overall, the text emphasizes the benefits of interleaving as a powerful technique for efficient learning and provides guidelines for its effective implementation.

So far nothing has really helped, my memory is shot. I've tried so many methods. I'm starting to think a large part of how smart a person is environmental and genetics. The people I know they have the best grades normally come from good stable homes. When you don't know when you have nothing good to eat and can't sleep it destroys any chance of becoming smart. When you are struggling to survive it becomes so much harder to focus on things on top of that.
I could say the same about me too and i have chronic headaches daily so its very difficult but I've worked to the best of my capabilities i now enrolled for a 3rd degree i hope that i can get a better study method coz the one i used requires a lot of time and processing and with someone like me with chronic headaches i don't think i can keep up anymorr my age would probably not allow me anymore coz I'm getting old, depressed, at uni i have to worry about what to eat. It's 13:20 pm in my country and i haven't even had a first meal.
Agree with you. But think of it this way: EVERYBODY has their own unfair advantages. Don't fall into the trap of blaming your condition (even though they are very real). Challenge them, exhaust yourself truthfully. Find your own unique advantages. There can't be none. Especially if you're able to comment using an internet connection to this post. Be grateful and abuse your own advantages, however small that is. You can go further by learning how to abuse your own advantages instead of pointing how unfair the world is. Sorry if this comment sound not as sympathetic as it could be. You know your own condition better. Be honest about it and challenge them.
I get what you say bro. I have the same problem, the examiners are asking for facts the same way as they are in the text books (this applies to ALs mostly). But that problem is mostly not there at the university. Justin's methods are all fine and beneficial when it comes to higher order application of what you have learnt in exam papers. So you should try to adapt according to the situation and, follow learning and study techniques according to your use case. As Justin says, always go with relating every fact to prior knowledge and try to encode information as much as you can. Then after 12 or 24h try mindmapping everything you learnt and follow spaced repition for rote memorization of very small but important details of topics. Remember you don't need to begin from an essay. Start from a mindmap from memory that makes sense. Most of all try to be persistent in your efforts, look at your peers and try to surpass them! With good techniques and persistence you can achieve what you want.
I understand your view, but would you say that you're your own toughest critic? For me, I realize that self-doubt and hypercriticism can play a huge role in me not truly seeing or understanding where I am. For example, I believe I am not a good public speaker and I want to improve on many different areas of public speaking, but I've gotten great feedback about my public speaking.
1. Make self compare and contrast (test in different ways with different revision methods) 2. Look for variations of concepts or different angles/perspectives not complete random concepts 3. Force these frequently and often in study session 4. Build knowledge overtime in cycles of higher depth. 3.
- Understand what interleaving is and how it differs from blocked practice for more effective learning 0:20 - Implement interleaving by mixing different concepts, facts, angles, and variations during study sessions 1:51 - Use interleaving to compare and contrast similar, yet distinct concepts to enhance understanding and memory 9:05 - Practice comparing and contrasting rapidly within 10 to 15 minutes intervals to avoid overwhelm and deepen understanding 12:21 - Build knowledge gradually with interleaving to create a more stable and robustly understood body of knowledge 12:53 - Remember that interleaving is only one side of the learning coin and high-quality encoding is also necessary 14:35
when i wanted to deeply understand my islamic religion, i read the old and the new testament. comparing and contrasting islam with other religions help me see my religion from different angels.the most important thing chat i could do was that i started To distinguish between god's commandments and the intrusive ideas of muslim jurists who think themselves to be the mediators between the almighty God and mankind. thanks justin.
Even though I'm Catholic I also did the same thing and the dogmas in my religion made so much sense such as immaculate conception, eucharist , etc which i learned from the source resources as well as from those who seems to deny Catholicism by adapting to their perspective and asking Why do they think like that? What is their based on - assumptions, facts ,bias or misinformation? 👍👍
I've only started using this method to revise my chemistry from Justin's mind map videos and it's very wonderful, I was able to remember almost all of the stuff I studied, yet I used to study using the blocked practice and forget everything almost instantaneously, too bad I can't afford the ICS course but thanks for the content Justin helps a lot❤
I’d love to see more examples in the medical field (as you are a doctor yourself). I say that because I’m also a doctor studying for residency and it’s really hard for me to apply these concepts when the subject I’m studying is completely clinical (diseases, how to diagnose them and the correct treatments etc.) I’ll definitely try to change (or interleave lol) the methods that I’m using, since they didn’t seem to work that much (I was only relying on the spaced revisions but apparently I need something more, as I failed my exams). Anyways, your content is great and I hope to see more of it coming soon.
Thank you again, also for not beign intentionally toxic to win, I had dreams as a kid to become a pro gamer when I was black and integrate a lot of stuff from philosophy that still coaches cry about and many can't fully integrate, like murphys law and stuff academics presented who loved the game. I hope through proper learning and having good intentions I could have kids or even see kids in pro play of color that could rival the best, especially in strategical games and mobas... anyhow! This gives me a lot of motivation, the ex I had had brothers who are pro players they would benefit all from these concepts tremendously for coaching/sports psychology but anyhow! Thank you I hope I can apply this to me gym sessions after 10x injuries lol, huge motivation watching your videos, really reminds me why I choose mastery as one of the most important values to me!
Thank you, Justin, for bringing this term to our knowledge. Although I was aware of this concept long before, I can't even mention what this mean. I found this idea of interleaving when I was preparing a presentation in my work, and I tried to understand the concept about the presentation by visiting to the actual site and learning from that place (instead of learning all the data about the project on paper).
Thank you, Justin, for this video. this feels a lot like the Analyse stage in bloom's taxonomy so I'll probably just use the evaluate and the analyse stage to revise by reconstructing my mind maps. It should still be a form of interleaving.
I used to use interleaving before as a way to avoid burnout, I would for example do probability, then physics and then literature (just an example) and I would repeat over and over, and this was so much different from simply doing blocks of each, however now that you mention that it can be used in order to prepare ourselves for exams and”curveball” questions, it makes so much more sense. I’m going to apply these rules starting today
Thanks for this video. I will experiment for comparing and contrasting the ideas more frequently, going to use it on test series. I was uncertain for what I learn by solving the questions would stick. It seems interleaving similar concepts might work.
justin thank you so much for this video! i have been wanting to better my skills at encoding and just overall get better study techniques, one day ill get oyur course TRUST 🔥🔥
I really wished i have had access to this kind of information early on...i could have definitely used crack the most difficult exam such as CFA....actuarial exam etc. however I could help my children how to learn...thanks for the video...
O ka Se sebe monate WA kgora o sa tsebe bohloko ba tlala. That is a saying in my home language, directly translating to, you won't know te satisfaction of a full stomach if you don't know the pain from hunger so, your struggles? If you ask me make the beautiful end to your story 100 times better and me... I equate myself to any human being on earth, like if there is one person that did it, why can't I. I do blame me for pretty much anything wrong bcoz there is always something to improve within myself, regardless of any other external factors, control and maximise what you can, eventually, you will get what you want. That's my belief.
Learnt alot from this though t you were interleaving to allow consolidation Luke spaced rep. I mean also if you interleave between pulmonary disease and heart failure. And different biochemical pathways this helps but you wouldn't read something normally without thinking about the concept you are learning against your previously learnt throughout the reading process. Thus is how learning works. Usually even at primary school learning us like weaving information together and linking it up!
I applied this method all my life unknowingly it sticks and recall is a breeze at times since infos are linked. Tho i still do the learning models from your prior vids until now i always thought its my self diagnosed ADHD is causing my resistance to studying and consistently flunking or other external factors but for sure ever since ive been put in a school i ddnt like studying 😅 Following u for a year now since i started my JD and everything is of help but each method will only get me to a brick wall and i finding it much like a chore than me actually enjoying the encoding phase. Also something in my brain got switched after that one recitation in legal philosophy class. Where our professor surgically laid us definiendum + definiens and the definition of the relationship in between, and it dont stop there it goes from definiendum + definien of 1 topic to another. Everything in law makes sense after that recitation encounter and unlike before where i always get tricked by questions during quizes or exam now i can atleast first define the concept or facts on the fly analyze the question or issue then see the trick. Thank you Justin! I think that recitation instance made me defined this method and this vid confirms it. Sorry for my english. English is my third. P.S. while typing this comment these learning process and models are i think helpful in the study of consciousness or is it just me interleaving? Or is it because im a karp learner awaiting my gyrados evolution? 😅
❤1980 I had two great korean friends Ikso Kim and sana. They were ordinary guys but parents wanted them to be a doctor.. they took their lives. Respect, I wish they could see your videos. 😂😂😂
That example of mitosis and meiosis, i did exactly that and that knowledge is still sticky even after a month! Only now do i realise what i did correct!
Great video, maybe revising this way will also make things more interesting because I have a tendency to cut short my revision sessions since I can recognise the topic and get bored of reading the same things again
You completely missed the point. The Venn diagram was a method to compare and contrast but as Rule 1 of this video points out, Do not use the same method repeatedly and, to add to rule 1 which was said in rule 2, it will limit yourself to narrow perspectives
@@timetraveller2818 This only compares and contrasts two concepts, rather than looking at the same concepts in different angles. Further, it doesn't reach the evaluate stage of Bloom's taxonomy. There are much more high yield interleaving techniques, and this one is a rather basic and non high yield way to do it. But hey, you do you.
Some people (including me) would love it if you please help us on how to study using video lectures. For me its not like I'm not taking notes during the lectures or I don't understand it, but the thing is even after all of those stuff, I can't really remember the stuff which I learnt or solve questions on that topic.
Thank you so much for your valuable guidance! I was just wondering which one you think is more effective: attending lectures or reading books? I would really appreciate your expert opinion on this matter.
People who complain have a fixed mindset, watch the videos and try it. If you fail, then use this as a lesson. Reflect and be critical, what went wrong? Why did I fail and how can I improve? So the same thing does not happen again.
On your example at 10:50 of concepts too similar for interleaving, doesn't it present the opportunity to learn the more intricate details of these concepts?
I am not neurotypical (still trying to get a diagnosis so not 100% sure what kind). This concept seems like my natural way of learning which probably made it possible for me to get good grades in school since my memory has a life of its own. Having to memorize things is dreadful for me. Yet still, I do remember many things and can remember them very well. How I see it is that I effortlessly remeber connections. If enough connections are created for a new concept I will simply remember it. If not, I can still try but everything seems like smashing my head against a wall.
Medical school at 18??? now i feel like such a failure being in premed at 23 lmao, all your tips got me a leg up over my younger peers so I've got that going for me at least
Is it interleaving or more like using bloom's taxonomy Analyze and Evaluate models, in an interleaved manner? I've used interleaving in the past, but not really trying to compare and contrast notions over different study sessions.
is this similar to analogical thinking? Where you use structure of a topic, and use that structure to learn another topic with different content. Leveraging the understanding or structure gained from one topic to facilitate the learning of another topic.
Bir bilgiye tek bakış açısı ile bakarak sığlaşmak yerine daha ilkte birden çok bakış açısı ile fazla pencereden değerlendir konuyu veya kavramı. Karşılaştır bu bakış açılarını ve soru çözerek sağlamasını al. Aynı konu içindeki karşıt kavramları da karşılaştırarak, aralarındaki farklara bakarak öğrenmek de serpiştirme metodunun içine giriyor. Aynı gün iki kavramı karşılaştırmak yerine, bir gün bir kavram üzerine çalışıp diğer gün diğer kavram üzerine ve en son bir gün de iki kavramı karşılaştırmak daha faydalı diyor sanırım.
15 min might actually be too long for me before comparing. I don't spend a few seconds on the same concept when I skim through my book honestly😅, but I feel quite confused if I spend just a minute on the same concept and then move on to the next one. Am I maybe overwhelmed cuz I go through a whole subject? Should I just do two or three concepts at a time? 🤔
Great video, but I feel like your thumbnail and your title for this video is holding it back. Like I was reluctant to click it and I am glad I did, but I feel like those could be much better!
Thanks for the feedback! We are always looking for better ways to package our content so it reaches the right audience. Would you happen to have any suggestions for this video? (Something that would have increased your likelihood of clicking on it?)
Now, when im trying to explain my studying method to my peers, I finally have a video to link! The video is very simplistic and practical. Terminologies are accompanied with brief definition. I really like how you use stories to bring attraction and common ground to viewers. Maybe a short summary of what youve mentioned at the end of the video might help to reduce the level of overwhelmness. Other than that, good stuff 👍🏽
Appreciate you taking your valuable time to provide this feedback. Have noted those things down, and will incorporate them into future content. Have a great day!
Is answering a single maths question using different methods OR answering different question with a type of method u want ti master, the correct way to use this skill of interleaving?
Does comparing and contrasting also work with skills that demand lots of creation? For example, I work a lot with data and writing scientific reports, and it's unclear how to use that framework to create a series of compelling arguments that peers will understand. Sure I can compare how this literature differs from another one, or how my results contrast with previous literature, but when it comes to organizing all of them into a meaningful text, I'm left with no framework to guide me through it.
You can especially integration & differenciation I basically see them as mirror images of each other So when studying like the logarithmic rule in différenciation I would compare & contrast as well as look for similarities in how the logarithmic rule applies to integration Then I also try to think to myself ,if I where the one formulating the formula What would I do & how would it be different In calculus I basically use these principles 1)know the rule or formula 2)Know how to apply the rule Or generate the formula 3)know how to identity *when to use the formula You are welcome
Ok, I understand that this technique is very powerful, but can anyone give me advice on how to use this technique in subjects like math? That would help me a lot
Wait I’m lost so when I’m studying I should check one concept out for like 10 min and then go to another concept for 10 min and try to find the similarities and differences?
I think it's more like read beyond the topic. Find out background info. And explore it a bit as opposed to just reading the same info over and over, expand on the info you have.

Agree with you.
But think of it this way: EVERYBODY has their own unfair advantages.

You can go further by learning how to abuse your own advantages instead of pointing how unfair the world is. Sorry if this comment sound not as sympathetic as it could be. You know your own condition better. Be honest about it and challenge them.
What you’ve described (apart from the reference to genetics) is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

Thank you so much. i am first 🎉😊
Yes you are!
Learnt alot from this though t you were interleaving to allow consolidation Luke spaced rep.
I mean also if you interleave between pulmonary disease and heart failure. And different biochemical pathways this helps but you wouldn't read something normally without thinking about the concept you are learning against your previously learnt throughout the reading process. Thus is how learning works. Usually even at primary school learning us like weaving information together and linking it up!
I applied this method all my life unknowingly it sticks and recall is a breeze at times since infos are linked. Tho i still do the learning models from your prior vids until now i always thought its my self diagnosed ADHD is causing my resistance to studying and consistently flunking or other external factors but for sure ever since ive been put in a school i ddnt like studying 😅
Following u for a year now since i started my JD and everything is of help but each method will only get me to a brick wall and i finding it much like a chore than me actually enjoying the encoding phase.
Also something in my brain got switched after that one recitation in legal philosophy class. Where our professor surgically laid us definiendum + definiens and the definition of the relationship in between, and it dont stop there it goes from definiendum + definien of 1 topic to another.
Everything in law makes sense after that recitation encounter and unlike before where i always get tricked by questions during quizes or exam now i can atleast first define the concept or facts on the fly analyze the question or issue then see the trick.
Thank you Justin! I think that recitation instance made me defined this method and this vid confirms it. Sorry for my english. English is my third.
P.S. while typing this comment these learning process and models are i think helpful in the study of consciousness or is it just me interleaving? Or is it because im a karp learner awaiting my gyrados evolution? 😅
K. Ur the best at this
completely agree with you
❤1980 I had two great korean friends Ikso Kim and sana. They were ordinary guys but parents wanted them to be a doctor.. they took their lives. Respect, I wish they could see your videos. 😂😂😂
Why is that funny?
Thankyou sir❤️🔥
That example of mitosis and meiosis, i did exactly that and that knowledge is still sticky even after a month! Only now do i realise what i did correct!
Awesome to hear!
Great video, maybe revising this way will also make things more interesting because I have a tendency to cut short my revision sessions since I can recognise the topic and get bored of reading the same things again
Dont cut short, Im in a completely different path than i planned as i blundered in a major exam.
Summary: Use Venn Diagrams thus interleave.
Complete oversimplification that misses the point xd
You could add something to my knowledge rather than criticise it meaninglessly. @@terminallucidity
You completely missed the point. The Venn diagram was a method to compare and contrast but as Rule 1 of this video points out, Do not use the same method repeatedly and, to add to rule 1 which was said in rule 2, it will limit yourself to narrow perspectives
@@timetraveller2818 This only compares and contrasts two concepts, rather than looking at the same concepts in different angles. Further, it doesn't reach the evaluate stage of Bloom's taxonomy. There are much more high yield interleaving techniques, and this one is a rather basic and non high yield way to do it. But hey, you do you.
Compare contrast
look for variation
force to compare and contrast frequently 12:07 12:30
Build knowledge overtime
Interleaving + spaced active recall
Some people (including me) would love it if you please help us on how to study using video lectures.
For me its not like I'm not taking notes during the lectures or I don't understand it, but the thing is even after all of those stuff, I can't really remember the stuff which I learnt or solve questions on that topic.
Thankuhhh so much sir uh help us students so much we are never taught these and expected to become god of studying 😅 thankuh so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gran vídeo colega👍
Thank you
syntopical reading and interleaving
Thank you so much for your valuable guidance! I was just wondering which one you think is more effective: attending lectures or reading books? I would really appreciate your expert opinion on this matter.
Thanks
People who complain have a fixed mindset, watch the videos and try it. If you fail, then use this as a lesson. Reflect and be critical, what went wrong? Why did I fail and how can I improve? So the same thing does not happen again.
On your example at 10:50 of concepts too similar for interleaving, doesn't it present the opportunity to learn the more intricate details of these concepts?
I am not neurotypical (still trying to get a diagnosis so not 100% sure what kind). This concept seems like my natural way of learning which probably made it possible for me to get good grades in school since my memory has a life of its own. Having to memorize things is dreadful for me. Yet still, I do remember many things and can remember them very well. How I see it is that I effortlessly remeber connections. If enough connections are created for a new concept I will simply remember it. If not, I can still try but everything seems like smashing my head against a wall.
Medical school at 18??? now i feel like such a failure being in premed at 23 lmao, all your tips got me a leg up over my younger peers so I've got that going for me at least
In Australia you enroll in med school as an undergrad
Is it interleaving or more like using bloom's taxonomy Analyze and Evaluate models, in an interleaved manner?
I've used interleaving in the past, but not really trying to compare and contrast notions over different study sessions.
Can you briefly “compare and contrast “ interleaving with Level 4 thinking via blooms taxonomy?
Wow....absolutely loved it ❤
I was just wondering whether this technique of interleaving works with all types all subjects? Especially mathematics?
Yes, absolutely
Some great ideas here.
oh my god the effect of british colonialism is something I'm learning currently haha!
love this guy love your work,staunch follower
People are pretty smart here in the comment box guess Justin got a very intelligent community ❤
is this similar to analogical thinking? Where you use structure of a topic, and use that structure to learn another topic with different content. Leveraging the understanding or structure gained from one topic to facilitate the learning of another topic.
India before Brits - had everything but unity
India after Brits - had nothing but unity
Ofcourse I am speaking in broader perspective 😅
Thanks
Welcome
Can you make a video about relationships existing between pieces of information please ? (You talked about cause and effect but what next ?)
Thats something you have to think about
Bir bilgiye tek bakış açısı ile bakarak sığlaşmak yerine daha ilkte birden çok bakış açısı ile fazla pencereden değerlendir konuyu veya kavramı.
Karşılaştır bu bakış açılarını ve soru çözerek sağlamasını al.
Aynı konu içindeki karşıt kavramları da karşılaştırarak, aralarındaki farklara bakarak öğrenmek de serpiştirme metodunun içine giriyor.
Aynı gün iki kavramı karşılaştırmak yerine, bir gün bir kavram üzerine çalışıp diğer gün diğer kavram üzerine ve en son bir gün de iki kavramı karşılaştırmak daha faydalı diyor sanırım.
15 min might actually be too long for me before comparing. I don't spend a few seconds on the same concept when I skim through my book honestly😅, but I feel quite confused if I spend just a minute on the same concept and then move on to the next one. Am I maybe overwhelmed cuz I go through a whole subject? Should I just do two or three concepts at a time? 🤔
Great video, but I feel like your thumbnail and your title for this video is holding it back. Like I was reluctant to click it and I am glad I did, but I feel like those could be much better!
Thanks for the feedback!
We are always looking for better ways to package our content so it reaches the right audience.
Would you happen to have any suggestions for this video?
(Something that would have increased your likelihood of clicking on it?)
Now, when im trying to explain my studying method to my peers, I finally have a video to link!
The video is very simplistic and practical. Terminologies are accompanied with brief definition. I really like how you use stories to bring attraction and common ground to viewers. Maybe a short summary of what youve mentioned at the end of the video might help to reduce the level of overwhelmness. Other than that, good stuff 👍🏽
Appreciate you taking your valuable time to provide this feedback.
Have noted those things down, and will incorporate them into future content.
Have a great day!
@@JustinSung Originally, I thought the idea was not carrying much weight, but thanks for looking into it!
Can you do a vedio on how to learn new material alone.also on how to study anatomy
I am a trooper ❤
I love you
You did a video 4 months ago with a similar title but you said 80% in that video.
Is answering a single maths question using different methods OR answering different question with a type of method u want ti master, the correct way to use this skill of interleaving?
That's why I never liked the approach in Physiology classes. They refuse to say thing about Pathology, when in fact it would help
Does comparing and contrasting also work with skills that demand lots of creation? For example, I work a lot with data and writing scientific reports, and it's unclear how to use that framework to create a series of compelling arguments that peers will understand.
Sure I can compare how this literature differs from another one, or how my results contrast with previous literature, but when it comes to organizing all of them into a meaningful text, I'm left with no framework to guide me through it.
Cole here - Do you do Kolbs on your talking to camera skills, or other social media skills?
Not exactly Kolbs, but yes, a reflective practice that follows a similar structure to Kolbs is part of our content workflows.
@@JustinSung Yeah, I'd imagine the questions are different than the ones for learning skills
I passed Anatomy thanks to you. But, I can't clearly see how to translate your techniques to subjects like Physics and Calculus 💔
You can especially integration & differenciation
I basically see them as mirror images of each other
So when studying like the logarithmic rule in différenciation I would compare & contrast as well as look for similarities in how the logarithmic rule applies to integration
Then I also try to think to myself ,if I where the one formulating the formula
What would I do & how would it be different
In calculus I basically use these principles
1)know the rule or formula
2)Know how to apply the rule
Or generate the formula
3)know how to identity *when to use the formula
You are welcome
How is this any different from multisensory learning ?
Hello Justin, do you have any advice for Educators?
2:39
Ok, I understand that this technique is very powerful, but can anyone give me advice on how to use this technique in subjects like math? That would help me a lot
Make it stick.
Justin's background is not purple and blue anymore 😦
❤❤❤
I feel guilty having all these important well studied infos for free 😅
Haha, make of most of it!
Wait I’m lost so when I’m studying I should check one concept out for like 10 min and then go to another concept for 10 min and try to find the similarities and differences?
I think it's more like read beyond the topic. Find out background info. And explore it a bit as opposed to just reading the same info over and over, expand on the info you have.
IS THIS BASICALLY SAYING TAKES YOUR UNDERSTANDING FROM ONE DOMAIN AND COMPARES IT TO ANOTHER?
Guys I can’t find the link he said at the end can anyone copy it to me?
Using alot of method. Not enough time being flooded with 1500 slides to review on 1 study day for Midterm exams. Help how?
@@t-alimichael3363 You made mistake of using lot many methods, instead of using only one method which will be efficient based on the course.
