Creando lección...
1
When you are reading notes,
2
only a small fraction of the data are registered in the memory.
3
The rest will vanish even before you close the book.
4
If you are using passive learning methods like reading notes,
5
summarizing, highlighting or listening to lectures or podcasts,
6
this video is exactly for you.
7
In this video, you'll learn how active recall builds a strong memory
8
and the exact methods I used in medical school to get great results.
9
I also have a challenge for you.
10
Take a piece of paper
11
and create a short note from this video at the end
12
of the video i will test the strength of your passive note-taking what is active recall this is mark
13
and he's reading some notes some of his brain areas seem
14
to be highly active the occipital cortex creates images of what he sees
15
but the interpretation of written word is done by the angular gyrus and the fusiform cortex
16
after the analysis data are sent to the hippocampus to store as memory
17
you can stimulate muscle growth by doing exercises similarly the best
18
way to develop a strong memory is by stimulating the hippocampus how do you do that the answer is active recall
19
reading notes will stimulate visual areas of the brain
20
but the hippocampus will not be effectively stimulating
21
that is why re-reading is inferior to active recall
22
so how can mark stimulate his hippocampus he should close the book
23
and try to recall what he learned this time he is recalling not from the book
24
but from the hippocampus this will stimulate the hippocampus
25
and strengthen his memory every time you do this the memory will become even more powerful how to do active recall effectively.
26
Method number one, create questions.
27
First, learn the concepts from your resources and write down your notes.
28
Then, create a list of questions based on those notes.
29
Each time you study try to answer these questions without looking at the notes
30
if you can answer them well bravo you have created a strong memory otherwise study the notes again
31
and have another go at the questions
32
you can also create flash cards with questions on the front and the answers on the back
33
method number two use the spaced repetition tool like anki anki
34
is a flash card app where you can enter the questions on the front
35
and answers on the back the smart thing about anki is
36
that it is based on spaced repetition it will show you the same set of questions in increasing time intervals
37
that means you have to recall the notes today then three days later then seven days later
38
and so on this is the ultimate study technique since you are incorporating spaced repetition
39
and active recall together method number three utilize multiple sensory pathways
40
for active recall let me explain don't just recall using your mind i always recall writing on a whiteboard
41
or speaking out loud sometimes i pretend to teach the concepts to a group of imaginary students
42
this way my brain gets stimulated through multiple sensory pathways method number four do practice questions
43
when you are taking questions you are recalling information from the memory
44
so it is a form of active recall on the other
45
hand this will test your understanding of the concepts you will
46
also learn to recall information under stress like in an actual exam If you watched until this moment,
47
it's time for the challenge.
48
I'll ask some questions from this video.
49
Don't look at your notes,
50
try to recall them from the memory and realize how ineffective passive learning is.
51
You can find the answers in the description.

- Los sonidos de “th”: pathway /ˈpæθˌweɪ/, strengthen /ˈstɹɛŋ(k)θən/
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: repetition /ˌɹɛp.əˈtɪʃ.ən/, vanish /ˈvænɪʃ/, fraction /ˈfɹæk.ʃən/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: hippocampus /ˌhɪpə(ʊ)ˈkæm.pəs/, repetition /ˌɹɛp.əˈtɪʃ.ən/, ineffective /ˌɪn.ɪˈfɛk.tɪv/, imaginary /ɪˈmæd͡ʒɪˌn(ɛ)ɹi/, inferior /ɪnˈfɪɹ.i.ɚ/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: stimulate /ˈstɪm.jəˌleɪt/, strengthen /ˈstɹɛŋ(k)θən/
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: passive /ˈpæs.ɪv/, vanish /ˈvænɪʃ/, ineffective /ˌɪn.ɪˈfɛk.tɪv/, interval /ˈɪntɚvəl/, bravo /ˈbɹɑvoʊ/
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: summarize /ˈsʌməˌɹaɪz/, utilize /ˈjuː.tɪ.laɪz/

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
