Compounding
- prior knowledge helps to organize memory during encoding
- also neiche/weird knowldege helps
- Compound Interest of knowledge, learn a lot early and you will have an easier time your whole life
Levels
- shallow (graphemic) processing
- repeating
- e.g. decide if a word is upper or lower case
- middle phonetic processing
- e.g. decide if a word rhymes with a target word
- deep semantic processing
- connecting to previous information
- e.g. decide whether each word fits the blank in a sentence
Strategies for Remembering
- don’t just repeat information, elaborate upon it
- rather ask GPT questions about the lecture instead of just repeating slides
- or let GPT ask you questions
- change of perspective helps (e.g. teach instead of learn)
