2. Cognitive Learning Techniques
• Active Recall
• Spaced Repetition
• Interleaved Practice
• Elaboration
• Retrieval Practice
• Metacognition
3. WHAT IS COGNITIVE LEARNING?
Cognitive learning is the process of acquiring knowledge and skills
through mental processes such as perception, attention, and memory.
4. The Memory System
The memory system consists
of three main stages:
encoding, storage, and
retrieval.
5. ACTIVE RECALL
Active recall is the process of actively retrieving information from
memory. This is an effective way to strengthen memory and improve
retention.
6. SPACED REPETITION
Spaced repetition is the process of spacing out study sessions over time.
This is an effective way to improve long-term retention of information.
7. INTERLEAVED PRACTICE
Interleaved practice is the process of practicing multiple skills or concepts
in an interleaved fashion. This helps prevent forgetting and improves
transfer of learning.
8. ELABORATION
Elaboration is the process of actively connecting new information with
existing knowledge. This helps improve understanding and retention of
information.
