Flashcards for Active Recall
- Use flashcards for active recall, writing the question on one side and the answer on the other.
- This process aids memory through the neurological pathways formed during recall.

- Flashcards become more powerful with the spacing effect, discovered by Hermann Ebbinghaus.
- This effect shows that forgetting follows a predictable pattern.
