What does the latest research say about learning techniques?
In 2013, a team of researchers reviewed some popular learning techniques for students to find out which ones were most supported by previous research. They identified 10 different learning techniques to examine, including:
- Spacing
- Retrieval Practice
- Elaborative Interrogation
- Imagery
