Research on Learning Techniques: Studies have shown that some popular techniques are less effective for deep, lasting learning.

Ineffective Techniques: Summarisation, Highlighting, Mnemonics, Imagery for Text, and Re-reading are often used but generally show low impact on retention and understanding.

Effective Techniques: Practice Testing, Distributed Practice, Elaborative Interrogation, Self-Explanation, and Interleaved Practice show greater effectiveness for learning and memory retention.

Learning Activity:
Reflect on your own study habits. Identify any ineffective techniques you commonly use and consider replacing one of them with a more effective technique covered in the upcoming lessons.
