🧠Strengthens Memory
Acquiring knowledge through recalling information, in fact, strengthens neural pathways which are critical for long-term retention of memory.
🔄 Active Learning
The process of memory retrieval is a total engagement of the brain, thus, it is much better for one's understanding and retaining skills than reading.
❓ Identifies Gaps
The effort to recall exposes one's areas of misconceptions or poor understanding and hence, he/she can concentrate on reviewing them.
💡 Improves Comprehension
Memory prompting requires one to mentally sort and connect the information, which is a basis of deeper comprehension.
✅ Reinforces Learning
Steady retrieval practice inhibits one from forgetting and therefore the material remains entrenched in memory.
📚 Enhances Exam Readiness
Testing oneself through recall makes one ready for a better performance in the examination since it mimics the process of retrieving from memory.
