“The best way to put information into long-term memory is to try to retrieve it from your own memory instead of just looking at the answer,” says the book, Learn Like a Pro, by Dr. Barbara Oakley, and Olav Schewe. “[…Also,] when you try to retrieve something from memory, you get feedback that tells you what you know well, the stuff you’re easily able to retrieve, and what you need to spend more time on learning that you cannot retrieve.” [Brackets ours.]

At Indoor Health Council, Retrieval Training (RT) is the foundation of our learning model and flashcard system.

Think of RT as the way to deeply embed ideas and concepts, so you do not forget them.
