Flashcards: Effective Strategies for Deep and Durable Learning — 24 cards

Deep learning — requires?

Effortful mental engagement for durability.

Repetition — ineffective because?

Creates false mastery, short-term retention.

Retrieval practice — role?

Strengthens memory through active recall.

Spacing — purpose?

Interrupts forgetting, reinforces learning.

Interleaving — involves?

Alternating topics to enhance transfer.

Elaboration — strategy?

Connecting new info to prior knowledge.

Mental models — help?

Organize understanding and interpret info.

Self-testing — benefits?

Identifies gaps, reinforces learning.

Desirable Difficulties — effect?

Enhance long-term retention despite challenge.

Effective study methods — include?

Retrieval, spacing, elaboration, feedback.

Cumulative practice — builds?

On prior knowledge, strengthens connections.

Transparent teaching — aims?

Explain learning processes to students.

Bloom's taxonomy — purpose?

Guide progression from recall to analysis.

Effortful learning — leads to?

Deeper understanding and durable memory.

Massed practice — results in?

Superficial, ephemeral learning.

Spaced practice — benefits?

Durable, transferable knowledge.

Interleaving — challenge?

Feels harder but improves retention.

Elaboration — enhances?

Meaning and neural connections.

Mental models — develop by?

Effortful understanding and linking concepts.

Self-testing — should be?

Regular, effortful, with feedback.

Desirable Difficulties — include?

Spacing, testing, varied practice.

Effective study — avoid?

Passive rereading, cramming.

Bloom's taxonomy — levels?

Recall, understanding, applying, analyzing.

Effort — necessary for?

Deep, lasting learning.
