I think your colour coding of the environment is the best addition I’ve seen to any memory model in like forever. Is so succinct and clear. Genuinely think it’s very cleverly presented πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

To the replies of β€˜this study states the obvious’. People say that as if it’s a bad thing. That’s EXACTLY why we need research. Because we are filled with cognitive biases and common sense isn’t very common. Easy to get caught up in group think.

The response to this has been interesting…

🟑 Twitter: we need to focus on how to help students think hard (I agree βœ…)

πŸ”΅ Blue Sky: we need oral assessment (I disagree ❌)

πŸ”΄ LinkedIn: this is a weak study/we need more AI training/this shows how AI can be good for learning (I cringe a little bit πŸ™„)

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

β€œThank goodness for this book. Blake Harvard’s topic–the basic functions of human cognition–is quite literally the most important body of knowledge for any teacher to know in order to design and adapt instruction for students."

Successive Relearning is a phrase from research that I think more schools and colleges should be aware of. Here is how it can help for exam preparation:
