Active vs. Passive Learning • Passive Learning • Watching TV • Lecture based classes • Active Learning • Doing Something • Asking questions and participating • Increases Strength of memory
Interval Based Memory Training • How frequently do you need to study something to create long-term memories • Spaced Repetition
Leitner System • Correctly answered cards enter next round • Incorrectly answered cards remain • When All cards are gone, move to next round • Usually add new cards for the new round
