Learning how to learn
A long read
You studied for hours. Why didn't it stick?
You read the chapter. You read it again. It felt easy by the end.
Then the test came. The words were gone. What happened?
Your guess
Students read one passage four times. They scored 83% on a test five minutes later. What did they score one week later?
