    Cal Newport's emphasis on active recall is a game-changer for anyone serious about learning efficiently! 💡 It's impressive how switching from passive to active learning methods can significantly boost information retention and academic performance.

      Active recall can be applied by methods of memorization such as mind maps, index card categorization, among other techniques. Active recall is the most time efficient and mentally draining way of learning currently known. But it can lead to great fundamental learning, which can be helpful for grasping advanced knowledge “better”.

    Great concept, the active recall.. the I struggled with it pile makes sense. I think identifying the items we struggle with then setting aside, makes more sense than stressing over those items at the moment.
    Focusing on the positive or what you have mastered makes more sense. Then going back to master ones you need to take more time on.
    Sounds like a great learning system.. Thanks for sharing

  • @cesarsanchezgutierrez3064

    Thank god for Huberman and his great guests!

    Cal Newport had to give up Rowing, something he loved, because of a heart condition. By his own words, if it werent for that, he'd never have become the powerhouse of studying and gone on to help 100s of 1000s of students around the world.
    Remember that next time life throws you a curveball.

    I have been teaching this for 25 years, as an organic chemistry tutor, even wrote a study skills book about it. Ya. and it helps to stress out the learning environment especially to mimic the testing situation practice your homework fast. see where you make mistakes. practice fast and stressed out. your test scores with skyrocket.

    Fantastic insight guys. Absolutely spot on, active recall is indeed the bane and critical point that cements information into long term gain. Harder done than first meets the eye. Once we get students to understand this and work towards this process, its an exciting step into unlocking human potential. Keep spreading the good message. May Allah accept your good deeds. Peace.

    When you gain a deeper understanding of the neuroscience behind emotions and behaviors, it's like lifting the veil on the mechanisms that drive human experience. Suddenly, the simple joys of day-to-day life may seem less spontaneous and more deterministic, as I realize how various neural pathways and chemical processes influence your thoughts and feelings. This newfound awareness sometimes dampen the excitement of mundane tasks, as I become more attuned to the underlying neural patterns at play. It's akin to seeing the gears and cogs behind the scenes of a once-magical performance-it doesn't necessarily diminish the beauty of the show, but it does alter the perception of it. So what are your thoughts on that can you explain in a video please 😊

      Information. It is neat to learn about things, and in my time alive I have learned a great many academic things. But learning such things has not brought me any happiness, quite the opposite actually as learning new things I find to be a painful and tedious process overall, and I actually think the less someone knows about the universe the better life experience they can live. For example I think Indians probably lived the most true or ideal lifestyle, hunting and gathering, having sex with a wife every night, raising kids, going to war with neighboring clans, passing down information in the form of stories and legends, everything like the wind and rain is magic and was due to divine intervention etc.

      ​@@KEKW-lc4xidefinitely learning new things makes life difficult because we create a confusion in our brain
      We start altering all our opinions on many things which were developed before
      So our judgments, decision making, problem solving everything gets affected by new learning
      And these new things can't fit well in the environment which was being followed conventionally
      I suffered a lot after knowing about psychology, the selfishness of human beings, the greed of human beings, the manipulations people are doing to us, till then I didn't know anything so I was very peaceful and normal
      But now I can understand the intentions of people behind their actions, so now I can't act normal but I can't loose them, because it's natural to be selfish and greedy
      So at starting i have suffered this a lot
      But I didn't stop learning, then I also found out why suffering happens
      Then I got clarity and I understood how to deal everything without loosing happiness and magic in life
      We just have to open up everything to everyone
      Drama ends there
      We may think if we speak truth, they may hurt or develop negative opinion on us
      No when our intention is not bad, they understand it because they know their intentions are not right ethically, morally
      Yes Indians lived a perfectly balanced life, the culture allowed people to live selfish life and benefits of being together

    Now I understand the meaning of homework why do they give practice questions so that even out of fear of hw - we would sit and recall the concept we studied about in class.
    You just dont take it properly, not that all hws are important but maximum are.
    That is recall only, there is always a hw diary of atleast one teacher - one subject where teacher asks to revise chapter this or that. Or this topic of importance.
    That is the ask for ACTIVE RECALL only man.
    Today people don't seem to investing much in it because it takes a lot of time. And the reels and shorts - focus span 💀📈📉📈📉📈📉 every 1 minute.
