Active recall Active recall exploits the psychological testing effect and is very efficient in consolidating long-term memory.[3] Research revealed that it is the quickest, most efficient, and effective way to study written materials, at least for factual and problem-solving tests.[1] Aside from passive review, it is said to be better than mindmapping and note-taking since it is extremely efficient for committing details and ideas into one's memory.[2] It is also suggested that the neocortex has an active recall that can use episodic information to build new semantic memories, which could mean the hippocampus plays a role in the way memories are consolidated in the neocortex.[4] Information retrieval and learning[edit] A study done by J.D. Karpicke and H.L. Karpicke and Janell R. McDaniel et al. (2009) came up with the 3R (read-recite-review) method for learning from textbooks. Some critics of active recall claim that using retrieval techniques only improves learning a specific response. See also[edit]

John Amos Comenius Czech teacher, educator, philosopher and writer Comenius introduced a number of educational concepts and innovations including pictorial textbooks written in native languages instead of Latin, teaching based in gradual development from simple to more comprehensive concepts, lifelong learning with a focus on logical thinking over dull memorization, equal opportunity for impoverished children, education for women, and universal and practical instruction. He also believed heavily in the connection between nature, religion, and knowledge, in which he stated that knowledge is born from nature and nature from God.[5] Besides his native Moravia,[6][7] he lived and worked in other regions of the Holy Roman Empire, and other countries: Sweden, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Transylvania, England, the Netherlands and Hungary. Life and work[edit] After his religious duties, Comenius's second great interest was in furthering the Baconian attempt at the organization of all human knowledge.
