The statements in this video around what efficient learning looks like are based less on empirical data and more on my extensive experience of working with and evaluating (at this time) over 7000 students from 71+ countries since 2012. I've identified certain patterns and trends in "efficient learners", especially when following the same learner across multiple years, where one strategy can be highly successful one year, but directly lead to unsustainability or failure 2 or 3 years later.
Unfortunately, despite decades of research on learning theory, there is not much research out there that actually considers "time-efficiency" as a variable. Most studies are in isolated lab environments where the participant learns just a single topic, is tested on basic retrieval, and there is no consideration to multiple assessments, multiple subjects, or the time taken on studying.
This is actually such a big issue that I am commencing my PhD research on addressing and filling this research gap.

So basically, increasing encoding efficiency leads to better retention. Therefore, less recall is needed to sustain the knowledge + you get the bonus of deep-mastery. But the misunderstanding of this concept led people to conclude that good encoding is all you needed and poof, their knowledge vanishes inevitably. Notwithstanding the fact that mastering efficient learning is a long journey, so they likely never had such amazing encoding to begin with. Is what I’m getting from this vid.
simply one can't live without the other. Knowledge mastery = Encoding + Retrieval. You need both of them.
@@roberttallafer2299 That definitely helped sum things up for me thanks.
But to be fair, if you don't need an information for weeks, maybe it's not even that important, so you can just forget is. I thing retrieval is too artificial. Ideally you find an occupation where you will use your knowledge, so you don't have to artificially retrieve it again and again to not lose it (usage of knowledge is retrieval too, just natural).
Exactly what happened to me
But what are those encoding? What is it practically? I doubt it is just "reading plain text".
Yay, two videos within the span of one week, I appreciate your work Justin
Always been a straight A+ student but I was never efficient so I needed this, thanks
Glad you cleared up the controversy between space repetition and encoding as many of us thought we don't need space repetition.
Can you show an example of higher order learning or deep learning with Maths or science? It would be quite helpful. Great Videos as always.
Yes please , it'd help a lot
He said he would in some video but not yet uploaded it
I would say that in fields that are highly abstract like math with clearly defined, but hard to grasp logical structures the fields themselves already are naturally prone to focusing on high level encoding learning. By doing exercises in most university level course in mathematical fields you get a very good grasp of the material without putting a lot of effort into retrieval practices. So by this video definition and explanation mathematical exercises are very good for encoding. In my opinion most textbooks and courses at university give exercises that are very well suited for high level encoding but university courses typically fail at properly estimating the cognitive load they take and the time students need to complete them which often lead to frustrating times spent studying too much material, too intensely.
@@Teilnehmer If i am not wrong does exercising the information you already have in some way count as encoding. Sorry I am new to this.
he explains that process basically in every video on his channel. Go watching them
I love your content, i would really like some book recommendations from you on the topic since aside from the popular self-help ones im really struggling to find something more academic (and articles are often behind a pay wall so it's not the best)
hey justin, thanks a lot for the videos you put out! lifechanging stuff
Words can't describe how helpful you are thank you so so much
Thanks for the clarifications and for the video.
Thank u to explain this Justin...
i was just ingnoring retrievals and focusing on encoding....
Good stuff as usual!
Idea for a video: an overarching one that would give the general structure and order in which to learn that stuff x)
You already have quite a few videos, and although some are numbered, it'd be nice to have a quick video that puts videos in order and links them together. So far with the numbered videos, it looks something like this:
1. Prioritization (Eisenhower matrix)
2. Alternative to Pomodoro with better rests
3. Inquiry-based learning
4. Smarter Goal setting
5. Focus and rest training
Would you add some videos or other concepts in between?
An alternative to the video would simply be a quick playlist that puts things in order: currently it seems you only have one big "Studying & Learning" Mish-Mash, which is a bit confusing!
Regardless, thanks for the hard work, especially since it's all free!
Yo I have a feeling this video's gonna get the algorithm good - as much as I love listening to the longer vids, i dont think the majority of RUclips has the same attention span
I loved how thorough the video you made explaining encoding, how it works and how to use the technique. I would like to see a short video maybe on retrieval techniques to get a better overall view. If Justin doesn't read this, does anyone familiar with his content know of a retrieval technique/s he explained or recommend that I missed? or is it as "simple" as attempting to recall the information in spaced intervals?
Hello Justin, first of all thank you so much for all the content you create. I'm changing my mindset and the way I study and you are one of the main reasons for that.
I've understood from other videos that you use a quick reading to highlight just the title (or sentence) that indicates you need to go back and study after. You create many anchor points to then go deeper. This is certainly one of your encoding techniques but could you please make a video, listing all your encoding techniques.
I really appreciate your videos on how to learn more efficiently! I am curious about how this encoding and retrieval process might work for something like language learning? Like learning Kanji characters for example.
I rly appreciate the editing that makes this so lighthearted. The course videos seem so serious😑
This actually cleared some doubts I had about my process. Since I'm still practicing encoding while I'm learning other stuff, I revisit (in my mind) previous concepts and topics that what I'm currently reading is based on *before* figuring-out how to chonk it. And I am forced to revisit and redo the broad-concept mindmap and delete unneeded details off it all the time. Have been at this for a few weeks, so it's quite comforting to know I can use my old memorisation structure as a crutch while I build-up the new one gradually. Thank you for clarifying!
Can you please explain to me how to practice encoding like examples of what to do since I still do not understand how I can do it? Thank you!
@@toujoursserein1779 Sure thing! I can tell you how *I* do it, but before that, check-out Dr. Sung's other videos on the task (the ones about encoding, mind mapping, spaced retrieval vs encoding) as he has better understanding of the whole subject and I'm more likely to get something wrong. Long story short: the less you view a bit of information in a vacuum (in isolation), the better you will encode it. Look for the feeling of confusion and ask questions like 'how and why' to view things in relation to other things. Instead of 'what is an LED', I ask 'how does an LED compare to an incandescent light-bulb or daylight'. This is where the snowball effect (knowing other stuff) comes in handy. I know we see color more accurately in natural light than in fluorescent light. *why* I learn that natural light has a different spectrum than fluorescent light. *how does this relate to LED* I learn that LED too have a different spectrum than natural light. *why do they have a different spectrum than natural light* I learn that depending on the material it's made of it can only emit in a narrow color range and the white ones usually have phosphor just like fluorescent bulbs. Then you learn what a diode is. etc etc. This is working on my previous knowledge of how colored light works. For you it can be the Emitting or Diode bits of Light Emitting Diode, but as soon as your brain recognises information as info *related* to something else, it recognises it as relevant. If you just read the LED description and thing of 'what is this thing', your brain immediately throws it in the bin and you get a headache instead of knowledge. glhf out there! ^^
@@Dank_Lulu thank you!
@@Ibrahim-wn9sr you're welcome! ^^
Hi. Can you guys explain me about "what is" Encoding and Retrieval ? I still don't get it. Actually, not native english speaker.
I've watched quite a few of your videos, and I understand watch time is important, but I think the video could be shorter without sacrificing any content. Yes, repetition is a rhetorical tactic to engrave in the mind what is important but the viewers also appreciate if you save them time. To summarize this video bluntly, you repeatedly highlighted "good encoding is efficient" till the page ripped. It seems that your channel is quickly becoming a marketing outlet, introducing worthwhile strategies at the surface level to gain an audience for video sponsors while feeding your learning programs. Honestly, in the long run, it's probably better to be honest in providing substantial and applicable information on the channel as your audience is more on the sharper side that won't tolerate much time-wasting. I believe you have the content to back up what you are teaching, and I would be happy to see it presented on this channel.
Agreed 💯
Maybe a little harsh, but overall pretty fair points
Showing a little bit of the real stuff on RUclips could blow away people's hesitation about buying the course.
@@aggeyboii1753 very true. This is actually the boat I find myself in, although I'm leaning more towards signing up anyway because I do actually have a good level of confidence that there's value in the course. Still though, going beyond surface level on the YT videos would definitely alleviate the apprehension.
I'm waiting for this man to realize this
When I was learning Japanese, I had natural retrieval processes because similar words would come up from time to time. Either in the text book, in class, or just when I was studying something new I would grab old vocabulary or grammar and apply them to new vocabulary or grammar.
I diving head first into all of your content, really enjoying it. Do you have any examples of efficient encoding strategies?
I have a lot of fun practicing encoding on the knowledge in your videos
Could you tell me how you practice encoding? And how it takes to be good at it from your personal experience?
Thanks man i needed this
spaced repetitions is made for languages, not for college exams. Could be made also for historical facts or to learn details (for ex: the name of the first 10 us presidents), but people cannot rely just on repetitions to learn concepts.
SRS is not made for language learning. It is faster to learn through large amounts of varied input and some conversation practice.
@@roberttallafer2299 dude, conversation practise is sort of a SPS. SPS tecnically is the action of constantly reviewning informations, like doing flashcard everyday. So SPS is the norm when it comes to language learning.
Is spaced repetition and doing flashcards the same?
@@emanuele9082 I beg to differ. Spaced repetition is not the same thing as doing flashcards. Yes, when we're doing flashcards using SRS we are benefitting from spaced repetition. But SP is a broader concept. Conversations are varied and change with context so does the meaning of a word differs from context to context. SP while having a conversation is not the same as SP while doing flashcards.
Would like to hear what you think.
@@expeditioner9322 Nobody said that the two are equal. You are saying it, not me, not everyone else, just you. I said that when it comes to doing flashcards, is logical doing them integrated with Spaced Repetition. For language learning take the concept out of spaced repetition and apply it. The more that you going through the new language, the better you become. There are no shortcuts for language learning. Reading, listening, speaking everyday and you can be sure that you are going to learn it.
Thanks a LOT.....
Love your videos a lot....
Hi Justin, can I ask if you have covered the concept of dual n back in any of your videos? If you havent it would be rly great if you give your thoughts on its pros and cons and if you would recommend anyone to do it as a daily practice
You should write a book. I have been watching your content for a while, and if you wrote a comprehensive book I would definitely be willing to buy it.
After watching many videos of this channel I got the important concepts at the base of a good stuidying method, but it this videos is explained just the theory and I am starting to belive there is just that behind it.
After seeing your videos about Blooms taxonomy, encoding, I made a conclusion that encoding is a glue between the cognitve process dimension and Knowledge dimension. Also, when we enconde the informantion we are automaticaly doing a higher order cognitive process because we need to change that information into somenthing made by ower own way of think (metacognitive). Your tips are helping me a lot. Thank you! Hugs from Brasil!
Meu amigo brazuca, estava revirando os vídeos do cara aqui. Vc encontrou afinal o vídeo onde ele explica a técnica que pra ele realmente funciona? Até agora só notei que ele tira peso da revisão espaçada e do estudo ativo, mas não saquei qual a técnica sugerida afinal.
@@rafaelmanzoli8726 e ae meu querido, tudo bem? Então, o pulo do gato é o encoding associado ao Bloom's taxonomy revised. Imagina que você é uma máquina de macarrão (faz um pouquinho de esforço haha), e toda informação que você recebe é uma massa disforme. O seu papel é pegar essa massa e transformar em algo palatável, mas do seu jeito. Isso é o encoding.
@@rafaelmanzoli8726 você usar o encoding durante o processo de estudo. O seu estudo será de acordo com a Bloom's taxonomy revised, ou seja organizando em esferas de complexidade. O Justin recomenda começar pelo topo da pirâmide ( evaluate, analyze, create).

Welcome to light...encoding and active recall work hand in hand in case you want to be a good student
And spacing
you are soo correct intensity of outer frame understandings is more important because Buiding needs a model or a body needs a skeleton sooo then you no need to active recall once you put the info in order....
you are the real god to meee
hey justin how many question should we ask our self when reading book or text for each chapter and title or subtitle or it could be 1 or 2 paragraph .
Hey Justin.
Plz could u make a dedicated video on how to effectively study maths. And also tell, what is the importance of retrieval (or say, Revision) in maths, as compared to Practicing Questions in maths?
Great video! Good job
pardon me, i havent the focus. can someone explain to me what encoding is? is it that chart where you apply analyze evaluate etc? or is it something else.
Is this learning process applicable to programming languages and and new technologies? Would like to see an example. Is it possible to get your course with a one time fee instead of subscription?
I hope you also write a book about efficiency at some point. I would buy in a heartbeat.
Hi justin, could you please explain how the icanstudy course will be morr beneficial than just watching all your youtube videos? Cheers
Thanks for the excellent information, have you ever made a video discussing the learning struggles of individuals with ADHD? 🤔
Good question
From my experience, I have made more significant improvements through improving my techniques and attitude. When I used to tell myself that I was at such a disadvantage because of my neurotype, it made me feel like I would be a worse student, and that would be a self fulfilling prophecy. I would also like to hear the topic addressed. And if anyone else has seen especially ADHD creators talk about it I would love to see it!
Adhd here, I personally find that it isn’t so much the techniques behind studying so much so my current lack of concentration and interest. These two I keep separate. Still studying technique is something I’m currently learning to help my adhd.
Is there anything that works for math, like I mean the knowledge encoding and retrieval isn't that important with it. There's just doing problems. Is there any way to do it more efficiently?
Awesome ,new video
Thanks 👍
Keep going bro it is very beneficial
Can you please show a practical example of encoding and higher learning
How can we deal with math exams when our problem is not much "being able to remember and memorize" but actually understanding examples of math exercises, I use your studying method and it's great but when I study math I get blocked just to understand a concept or an exercise, so I continue and leave that subject I didn't understand and I memorize only the minimum of it like the formula for example.
I’d love to hear about encoding in terms of language learning!
Me too!
What app do you use on your Ipad ?
Thank you
Can one forego Anki for spaced retrieval? I'm starting to believe unless it's used for very basic knowledge (facts, vocabulary) it doesn't work that well for learning of say concepts (physics, math), and reviewing good notes/mind maps would be better/sufficient. Using Anki for this is too time consuming and you need good concentration/focus first (like, say, 30 minutes of warming up your brain). That's my experience.
Making flashcards are kinda time consuming too. I just make it anyway because at the end of our term, our school would give us comprehension exams (Questions are from 1st term to end)
Good points ..how to optimize Anki for dense subjects like computer science?
@@GabrielCazorlaPersson1 Great Point, this seems to be my experience as well. I think maths, comp sci, physics... don't lend themselves very well for learning with Anki. Although it works perfectly as preparation for oral exams, it just doesn't cut it for written exams. Like you said its quite close to memorization and can give you an illusion of understanding. Not as much as with just rereading or rewatching but its there. Plus making and learning Flashcards is a pain. So im really optimistic about this encoding stuff.
@@GabrielCazorlaPersson1 Justin explains that encoding practice is for developing the mental framework, the core structure, which he likens to our bones that hold up our body. He says the skin/small details become easier to stick onto the bone structure if it is developed well. So priming is for building core understanding, he actually does encourage using a plethora of other techniques not found in this video. His main thing is encoding though.
in your previous videos you talked about how good mind maps can help, recently I've been practicing doing mind maps but now i have a question about it, does a good mind map need to have ALL the information in it? because a lot of times i found that further explaining information in a mind map will make it more crowded and more wordy
No, mindmaps should have little information, preferable only drawings that represent the logical connections of information. The power of mindmaps is from it being sort of a way to apply what you learned drawing out the connections in as simple and logical as possible. So I'd actually recommend focusing on forming the relations in your mind, because thats where it all happens first. I don't even use mindmaps anymore except for drawing out more complex stuff.
Hello! What can you advise me on learning a new language? Is there a video on it ? Thank you

How to improve encoding?examples or overview of different techniques?
Please do a video on how this applies to language learning particularly vocabulary. Relate to your native language or not? Curious on your thoughts
I would like to You recommend a system for learning programming, like I Mean, I'm pretty sure it wouldnt be MindMapping, or Encoding, or active recall
I would suggest Repetition, but i Would like to ser What You think about it
so what exactly is encoding and what are the techniques for encoding?
Here's my question: if i forget something because I didn't do a retrieval practice for a long time for example, will i need to encode it again from zero or should i just do extra retrieval practices?
For what I understood when you encoded it you understood it and you have the knowledge of it, but if you don’t do space retrieval you start forgetting it slowly.
For example, if you learn how to do a math exercise and understand why you can do those type of exercises, but if you pick it up again in a year, you might not remember well how to do it, but if you look at it again it already makes sense
If it was well encoded to begin with, you won't need to go from 0. Retrieval practice will remind you of the strong relationships you originally created.
Yes justin... please a video on this issue 🙏
If your logical foundation on the concepts it is connected to is very weak then you should prime the whole thing again. If you still have a strong enough base just connect whatever is missing and you should be good. After that do your retrieval I guess.
Can you show the detailed process of encoding in yt video, a demo,, sir any subject
okay so.. how do you do high quality encoding and high quality retrieval??
Silver button soon for Justin... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What are the encoding techniques?
Question.What is the best way to tap into the applying part in bloom's taxonomy when someone is learning something for the first time.
Dabble a little in mindmaps because it is similar to what you will be doing exept this time it's in your own mind. In your mind you want to think " where does this peice of information fit on my mental framework then visualize the connection". If you catch yourself trying to memorize something in iaolation, stop, then instead try to fit it logically with other information. It is a process you can get good at with practice so do your best and work on it.
In other words, if u read something and u can't recall information, the problem isn't with active recall, the problem in bad encoding... Right?
Justin, I’m curious if you’ve looked into mind palaces or any other techniques like those that memory champions claim to use. I video on that would be cool
I think he has a video on memory places but I haven't watched it myself.
While reading or solving problems, should listen to Lofi music 🎶 🎵. If you are anxious or fully concentrated, Adrenaline rush would be checked by Lofi music.
Can u do a video of how study medicine? Like kind of a step by step of a good method of study, for the differents asiggments
How should I effectively analyze mock tests and make the most out of it..?
Tests are helpful for figuring out where you are weak. So you think about particular question on a test and go "hmm, maybe this concept is really important but I didn't remember any of it at all". So you go look up that concept and encode it properly this time, develop good relational connections between information. That's basically what you do for every question you were iffy on.
Encode better. Reduce the need of rethrival. Still rethrival what/If needed.
Increase the cognitive load capacity in order to achieve higher encoding.
9:00
ngl the cpr dummy with the glasses n stethoscope looks dope
Okay.... so how do I encode?
So the techniques are for enconding not for retrieval? Retrieval is just a simple way to help you remember. But enconding is the art right?
Can u share some high quality encoding techniques
There has to be separation of the encoding techniques and 'encoded' knowledge. I don't think you're saying learning to encode knowledge takes 2 to 6 months. The encoding techniques themselves take maybe a afternoon to learn? It's just a matter of asking yourself the same metacognitive questions over and over again. For example "What do I already know about this subject and how does it relate to what I already know?" "What is the big picture? " I think it all comes down to how fast can you master the subject you're studying for example Anatomy and Physiology. It's going to take 4 months just to encode it. There is still no way to do Grey's Anatomy in a weekend. It will take you at least 4 months just to encode it. You can then review it in 4 hours or less.
That's probably not how it works. Learning to study like this (i.e higher orders of learning) is a long process. You should probably review your study sessions using a Kolbs. If you are not finding the encoding techniques difficult then you are probably doing it wrong, or you probably are on the highest level of learning there is. Learning to study like this is a really long process. Trust me.
@@copium392 a master of encoding cannot master Grey's Anatomy in a weekend.
@@theninthpower Yep but they can do it MUCH faster than other people. And what you are talking about (i.e Grey's anatomy) is generally a much more larger topic. A higher order thinker would do such that he doesn't need to repeatedly go back to the info and it would stick around for at least a month or so without retrieval practice. The process of transforming yourself into a higher order thinker is a long one
@@theninthpower My point was you CANNOT learn all this stuff in a single afternoon
Pretty much. Learning how to encode will take a while if you've never done it your whole life.
I think you are misunderstanding something though. Encoding is a skill of creating connections in your mind. It takes time to learn if you suck at it. When he says encoding he always is taking about the act of making connections in the mind. He does not refer to encoded knowledge at all. Encoding techniques would be the stuff you do that is actually visible to other people.
Could you show us how to encoding for maths
This would be a good video, but I can tell you now the mind-mapping technique he talks about in his other videos will not work well for maths. Why? The mind-mapping technique is most useful when learning **concepts**. While you sometimes do learn theoretical concepts in maths, most of the time you are learning a mathematical technique, and the goal is to be efficient and accurate at applying that technique, even in unfamiliar situations. If we're looking at Blooms taxonomy, this engages the "apply" cognition, rather than "analysis" and "evaluation", which are the focus of the relational priority mind-maps.
*TL;DR. In maths, it's simply about practising the technique until you are really good at it, as it is usually technical in nature, not conceptual. Other "schemas" can assist with this, like flow charts and decisions trees. However, maybe you are struggling to understand a concept - a relational priority mind-map could assist with this. But usually it's rare in maths. *
How do you actively practice retrieval if you are studying with a high level of encoding?
A flashcard usually has a question with an answer, but how do you study with a huge mindmap?
Grab a blank piece of paper and try to draw the mind-map from memory, "narrating" it in your mind as though you were a teacher (Feynman technique). Or just try to think about it and explain it to yourself.
You can use x-mind then color code each branch which one is easy, medium or hard for you.
@@TBC1599 good advice, friend. Used this to ace two of my exams, coupled with spaced repetition.
I bought a USB graphing pad + pen which is extremely useful in combination with OneNote. (and doesnt waste paper)
encoding, inquiry based learning, priming
4:38 answer
I wonder what are those encoding techniques 🤔 ?
I read the comments and come to my own understanding (im writing this without watching the video but after this). So basically, if you have good encoding or higher encoding, then you learn faster and having higher encoding means you know a lot but the problem is that most of them aren't used or basically retrieved. A better example would be a big library and this library has many books and you're trying to find that particular book but you can't since that book is one of many things that you forgot because their use was done.
I didn't actually understand the part where if you dont retrieve, you forget but i watched a video (veritasium i think) that most chess masters (old like garry) don't remember most of the things they studied but a person studying chess in solitary knows more because he use the things he studies.
If I'm wrong correct me, please.
I wonder how encoding would apply for language learning, i used to go to active recall and flashcards but i realized it's unsustainable
In an input-based language learning approach, I imagine encoding techniques could be used to increase the quality of encounters with new words (followed by dictionary lookup to clarify its meaning). By increasing this encoding, and reducing the time until next encounter with the word, you'd be able to avoid flashcards for any word you can expect to see on a daily basis. For words that you don't expect to see on a daily basis, you can create a more ideal learning environment by restricting one's language input; watching just one TV show, just one type of content or reading just one author. But I think some SRS would still be good. I think the distasteful aspect of SRS is not SRS itself, but rather the overuse of it. It's a very useful thing for words that are important but are just not frequently used. (For some reason, the word "law" comes to mind).
@@cryan9137 The problem with SRS is that it's easy to fall into the trap of memorizing rather than relational learning. Some SRS can be good(especially with example sentences). There are people more tolerant with repetition, it would suit them. But my stance though is that SRS is really unnecessary for language learning.
@@cryan9137 Why would you restrict your input to just one thing? As long as you learn from conversation heavy material there is bound to be majority of words in it that you can use. You should consume as many conversation heavy resources as you want.
@Robert Tallafer For the first point, I think SRS is unnecessary as well. I agree with you that people fall into traps from using it and that is a major negative. I used to be one of them. But SRS clearly leads to learning and progress so I don't want to throw it completely under the bus.
For the latter point, I'm talking about when you wish to learn uncommon vocab that doesn't appear in most contexts of language use (i.e. domain-specific language; for example, a specific sport, hobby, or field of science). There's no need to restrict yourself to an uncomfortable degree but I believe restriction of input some benefit here.
The key idea I have here is that memory clearly has decay to it. You can encounter a word once, acknowledge its existence and meaning, and then a few days later lose it. No matter how well you encode it, you will still lose access to it without repetitions to maintain the memory.
Therefore, if you want to learn domain-specific language, then you should keep up with that domain on some sort of regular basis. Increase the encounter rate with that uncommon vocabulary by inputting language from contexts it will show up in. As a result, you mitigate forgetting and will also acquire that language more quickly.
As a side-point, I believe engaged consumers of their target language will also naturally restrict their input to some degree. They will find content they prefer, and this creates a language subset (or bubble). This is beneficial too; thankfully this just happens on its own.
Your CPR dummy with the sunglasses is actually 😎🆒😎.
needed this!
how to join your course??? when will the batch open, man?
It opened now
6:51 what is efficient student
I have questions.
1. Is encoding different from retrieval? Does retrieval cause encoding?
2. For every new subject, does a learner need more retrieval practice in the beginning?
3. If a beginner needs higher levels of retrieval practice to strengthen memory then how does one know if the benefit mainly was from retrieval practice or higher encoding?
They are different because encoding is the process that make you hold the information for long time and retrieval simply is that you recalling the information that you hold it previously by encoding.
If I'm wrong correct me ppl.

2- according to what he said that if you do more retrieval practice the more you can't encoding well so you hardly can remember the information if you do much retrieval practice , so it's better to focus on how you can make your encoding process better than do much retrieval , and actually we all these days do retrieval like a main way to remember but it's not in the fact it's just a waste of time and make it worse as Dr Justin said in this video.
Addiction to that when it's best time to use encoding in new subjects because if you use encoding you'll understand the fundamentals of any new subject that you face and make a strong base of the subject.
So…is encoding really just sitting down and learning the material deeply without trying to memorize it?
He made other videos on encoding which he talks about the bloom taxonomy's method. That is, higher order learning will lead to more encoding. Not just understanding the material deeply but being able to apply, analyse, evaluate, and even theorize about the content. Just check the videos you'll understand way more what I'm saying.
Yes. @DAREDEVIL is right. By trying to engage in higher-order cognitions, like analysis and evaluation (which are almost inherent in his mind-mapping technique), that will lead to deeper encoding as the information is more "malleable" - you can do more with it.
What is your current career, Dr. Justin?
What he's been doing for 10+ years and doing right now, a learning coach.
Thank you so much. So does it mean that, as we build our cognitive load tolerance we would still need active recall and spaced repetition?
I know there is one video on encoding but it's not vivid enough. Can you please make a video on the various encoding techniques you suggest to your students? I mean what they are and how to use them?
You will still always need repetition. Repetition is what seals memories in place for long term. What you don't need is exessive, time consuming repetitions that often happen when using SRS. Your focus should also be more on understanding concepts not memorizing facts(unless it's something you absolutely need to memorize).
Bro why you don't post any vedio it's a month gone.
Joe in the background is in good shape as always.
(This comment serves the algorythm, you should ignore it.)
Have you ever applied the methodologies you talk about to language learning? SRS can be highly effective for learning vocabulary, but I suppose it would be best to incorporate some form of mind map of imagery to better encode the words and then increase the effectiveness when using SRS-based methods? 🤔
Mind mapping in language learning is replaced by immersion. Seeing words in real world context as much as possible. Mind maps are a tool to create context.
He has a webinar in which he talks about what are the subject that are the best suited for this method i don't think languages are but indonlt remember too well
this seems to be interesting: as I commented below this video, I think that things as language learning is based on reviewing as many times as you can. In that sense spaced repetitions is made exactly for languages learning
@@emanuele9082 no thats just rote learning
@@copium392 bro, languages are learnt by the process of being exposed many times to words, listening them and reviewing them. Languages are learnt by rote learning. If you are not exposed or you don't speak one language for a while, you end up to forget it, even though it's your own language
Guys, does this work? I want to enroll in his course.
Mix it with the memory palace and after a week you remember it for a week
we need spanishs subtitles asap
This was really comforting news, I condenced 2 mounths worth of conents in to 3-4 hours when I was tutoring.
But this is also concerning because his retrevail (trying to remember bits on the spot) was about 6 or 7 min.
I am trying to enphazize organizinging and remembering his informations in groups. But hes struggling to keep up the effort
Please make video for math😔
