- Flashcard Systems: A flashcard system pairs a prompt with a recall task, so that every review is an act of retrieval rather than recognition.
- Free Recall: Free recall is the practice of reproducing what you remember about a topic without prompts, lists, or cues.
- Retrieval Practice: Retrieval practice is the deliberate act of pulling information out of memory (by self-testing, flashcards, or free recall) instead of passively re-exposing yourself to it.
- Testing Effect: The testing effect is the empirical finding that retrieving information from memory produces stronger learning than re-exposing yourself to that information for an equal amount of time.
