## Boost Your Memory with Active Recall

Active recall is one of the most powerful study techniques backed by cognitive science. Instead of passively reading, you actively retrieve information from memory.

### Implementation Methods:

1. **Flashcards**: Create questions on one side, answers on the other
2. **Practice Tests**: Take mock exams without looking at notes
3. **Blank Page Method**: Write everything you know about a topic
4. **Teaching**: Explain concepts without reference materials

### The Science Behind It:
- Strengthens neural pathways through retrieval
- Identifies weak areas immediately
- Mimics test conditions for better performance
- Engages deeper cognitive processing

### Best Practices:
- Space out recall sessions (spaced repetition)
- Start recall immediately after learning
- Don't look at notes when stuck - try to remember first
- Use Claritutor to generate practice questions!

## Master Any Subject with the Feynman Technique

Named after Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, this learning technique is based on the idea that if you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it well enough.

### How It Works:

1. **Choose a Concept**: Pick a topic you want to understand
2. **Teach It to a Child**: Write an explanation in simple terms
3. **Identify Gaps**: Note where you struggle to explain clearly
4. **Go Back to Source**: Review the material to fill knowledge gaps
5. **Simplify Further**: Use analogies and simple language

### Why It's Effective:
- Forces active learning vs. passive reading
- Reveals exactly what you don't understand
- Improves retention through teaching
- Builds confidence in your knowledge

### Pro Tip:
Use Claritutor's AI to test your explanations. Ask it to act as a curious student and explain your topic to it!
