Feynman Technique from an explainer article
feynman-technique.md
title: Feynman Technique
tags: [learning, teaching]

A learning method by physicist Richard Feynman: explain any concept as if teaching it to a child. Inability to explain simply reveals a knowledge gap. Related: [[Active Recall]], [[Knowledge Gaps]].
knowledge-gaps.md
title: Knowledge Gaps
tags: [learning, metacognition]

Gaps in understanding revealed when you try to explain a concept simply. The [[Feynman Technique]] uses teaching as a diagnostic: where your explanation breaks down is where the gap is.
active-recall.md
title: Active Recall
tags: [memory, learning]

Retrieving information from memory rather than passively re-reading. The [[Feynman Technique]] is a form of active recall — explaining forces retrieval and reveals weak spots.
Spaced Repetition from a study techniques article
spaced-repetition.md
title: Spaced Repetition
tags: [memory, learning, anki]

A learning technique that reviews information at increasing time intervals. More effective than massed practice because it exploits the [[Spacing Effect]]. Used in Anki and other flashcard systems.
spacing-effect.md
title: Spacing Effect
tags: [memory, cognitive-psychology]

The psychological phenomenon where information is better retained when study sessions are spaced over time rather than concentrated. Foundation for [[Spaced Repetition]] systems.
forgetting-curve.md
title: Forgetting Curve
tags: [memory, ebbinghaus]

Ebbinghaus's model showing exponential decay of memory over time without review. [[Spaced Repetition]] counteracts this by reviewing just before the memory would be lost.
