Learn Better Practicing Techniques from Dr. Molly Gebrian
Que: -If you studied in one block then realized your terrible mistake and practiced in increments would you get the same result?
Notes: -the more breaks you take when learning something the faster you learn it -you retain more information when you study over multiple days -surgical students who place their practicing in 40-minute increments rather than a three-hour block performed better. -it works better when you sleep in between practicing
