Active recall is a learning technique that involves actively stimulating your memory during the study process. Instead of passively reading or highlighting information, you test yourself on the material. For example, after studying a chapter in a textbook, you might close the book and try to write down everything you remember. This method helps reinforce your memory and improves retention of the information. By using active recall, you engage with the material more deeply, making it easier to remember later. Tools like flashcards or quizzes can be helpful for this technique, as they prompt you to retrieve information from memory, enhancing your understanding and recall skills.
