This short film shows you how to use the key skill of retrieval practice to improve your understanding, develop your recall and identify gaps in your knowledge. While most study time is spent trying to get knowledge into your brain, then out again when exams roll around, retrieval practice helps to get knowledge in and out at the same time. It's been shown to create far stronger memories than the familiar techniques of re-reading, underlining and highlighting. The videos in the Dynamic Learning Series focus on the psychology of learning, providing students with practical, science-based, advice about a wide range of study techniques, and encouraging them to try different study techniques.
