Sometimes you may learn something and just forget it the next day. If you’re anything like me, you hate when that happens. Today, I’m going to teach you how to remember all of the things that you learn in a few easy steps.
When learning is difficult, you’re actually doing your best learning. Challenging your existing knowledge enhances brain power. A great way to train your brain to learn something new is flashcards. They force your brain to remember something over and over again thereby committing it to memory. When learning something comes to you too easily, you’re most likely not going to remember that thing. It’s important to connect new things to old things, which is called elaboration. You plug what you just learned into what you already know. Elaboration can be a great way to remember someone’s name.
If you use these easy tips, you can remember things you learn much much easier. Hopefully these things can help you remember certain things that you learn.

Thank you for the tips!
Great info!! Flashcards helped me a lot through Pharmacy school!!
Great tips! Are there digitized forms of flash cards? In addition to elaboration, there is revolution: when you cannot connect new things (New paradigm) to old things (old paradigm). New things that are revolutionary are key to the development of science. You can read the American philosopher of science, Thomas S. Kuhn, the structure of scientific revolutions
