Editor's Notes
- So I wanted to start off presenting how I perceive studying in med school. This is a slide of the arm with the parts labeled. On the first day you learn it, you remember everything.
- But after a day you start to forget some things.
- And then you forget more.
- And by the third day you barely remember anything, which is why reviewing is so important.
- And for me, that’s why SI tutoring was so helpful. We’d meet at the end of the week and go through quizzes and practice questions to review the material that we had covered the past week. And for me this style of active learning was very helpful so I wanted to incorporate it into my daily studying more. So I tried different things like flash cards or practice quizzes, but with flash cards it became overwhelming to do the cards because there were too many to do every day, and with the practice quizzes, they were helpful for test week studying, but not as much throughout the year because there just weren’t enough of them.
- So Nick and I independently came to this studying method called spaced repetition, and this is a graph explaining it. The y axis represents probability that you’ll remember something, and the x axis represents time. If you look at the blue, when you first memorize something you’ll remember it 100%, but if you follow this blue line, which is the projected forgetting curve, you see there’s a steep slope and you rapidly forget the fact. This is why we need to review via Si tutoring, practice quizzes, group studying, or whatever. And then, after the first reminder, if you follow the red line you can see the slope isn’t quite as steep, which means you’ll have a higher probability of remembering for a longer time. So the idea is that with every subsequent reminder, it’s better engrained in your memory, and you have a better probability of remembering it. The idea behind spaced repetition is that there are algorithms that can predict how likely you are to remember something based on how hard it was for you to recall. So if you’re trying to memorize something simple like the deltoid, you might memorize once and not need another reminder for weeks, whereas something like the basilic vein, you might need lots of reminders.
