Retrival Practice
Attractor: A for Effort. Believe it or not, the act of trying to remember things will make you better at remembering them.
What is it
Retrieval Practice is the act of remembering something or “bringing it to mind” as learning scientists say. This could be simply trying to write down everything you know about a subject on a blank page , or taking a practice test or using flash cards (if done correctly).
The key is to not use notes or readings and just try to remember on your own.Research has shown this to be one of the most effective study techniques.
What is Effective?
Stronger Connections:

the process of searching your memory for an item makes it easier to find that memory later.It’s like there is a path through the jungle to the thing you want to remember and each time go down the path it gets clearer and easier to follow.
More Refined:

beach time you access your memory it changes a bit and gets better organized and stored in your memory.
More Connections:

our memories are connected to each other and the more we access them.
Know what you know and don’t’ know :

going through the process shows you want you remember and what you don’t so you know what you need to work on.
