Retrieval practice

Retrieval practice strengthens memory by recalling information rather than reviewing it passively—testing yourself, spacing retrievals over time, varying contexts—because the effort of retrieval rewires neural pathways more durably than re-reading. The harder you must work to pull something back, the stronger that memory becomes.
