- Calibration: Calibration is the alignment between how confident you feel that you know something and whether you can actually perform under retrieval.
- Illusions of Knowing: Illusions of knowing are the false confidence that comes from familiar re-encounter with material; you feel you have learned because you recognise the words, but you cannot retrieve or apply the content.
- Learning Journal: A learning journal is a written record of what you studied, what you tested yourself on, what you failed to retrieve, and what you plan to do next.
- Metacognition: Metacognition is the awareness of and control over your own learning: knowing what you know, knowing what you do not know, and planning accordingly.
- Self-Explanation: Self-explanation is the practice of explaining to yourself, step by step, why a problem or concept works the way it does.
- Self-Testing Rituals: Self-testing rituals are the small, repeatable habits of retrieving knowledge from memory at predictable moments: start of class, end of week, before sleep.
