Benefits: Recall vs Repetition
Learning is misunderstood
70% Is the amount of information we lose shortly after reading or hearing new information.
While most students tend to employ repetition, this is the least effective way to learn, as it only employs short-term memory. To employ long-term
memory, it is critical to recall information and flashcards activities are a simple way to do it
Students recall information
Students read the front of the card and try to recall the correct answer. This will make neural pathways in long-term memory
stronger
Wrong answers are displayed again
Turning the card, they will see the answer. If they don’t know the answer, the card will be displayed again, until information is
stored in long-term memory
