One of the great things about studying psychology is being able to learn about things that can really help you in your everyday life. One of these, of course, is how to improve your memory and learning. If you try out some of these techniques (you may already be using some), think like a psychologist. How can you test how effective they are at improving your own learning? Are there any variables that might affect your learning apart from the different techniques (for example, how difficult the topic is that you are studying, how motivated you feel…)?
It is really important to reflect back on the revision techniques that you are currently using or might try out after reading this article, and to test how effective they actually are at increasing how much information you retain, especially over time.
