How to do ACTIVE RECALL Effectively?
when you are reading notes only a small fraction of the data are registered in the memory the rest will vanish even before you close the book if you were using passive learning methods like reading notes summarizing highlighting or listening to lectures or podcasts this video is exactly for you in this video you'll learn how active recall builds a strong memory and the exact methods i used in medical school to get great results i also have a challenge for you take a piece of paper and create a short note from this video at the end of the video i will test the strength of your passive note-taking what is active recall this is mark and he's reading some notes some of his brain areas seem to be highly active the occipital cortex creates images of what he sees but the interpretation of written word is done by the angular gyrus and the fusiform cortex after the analysis data are sent to the hippocampus to store as memory you can stimulate muscle growth by doing exercises similarly the best way to develop a strong memory is by stimulating the hippocampus how do you do that the answer is active recall reading notes will stimulate visual areas of the brain but the hippocampus will not be effectively stimulating that is why re-reading is inferior to active recall so how can mark stimulate his hippocampus he should close the book and try to recall what he learned this time he is recalling not from the book but from the hippocampus this will stimulate the hippocampus and strengthen his memory every time you do this the memory will become even more powerful how to do active recall effectively method number one create questions first learn the concepts from your resources and write down your notes then create a list of questions based on those notes each time you study try to answer these questions without looking at the notes if you can answer them well bravo you have created a strong memory otherwise study the notes again and have another go at the questions you can also create flashcards with questions on the front and the answers on the back method number two use the spaced repetition tool like anki anki is a flash card app where you can enter the questions on the front and answers on the back the smart thing about anki is that it is based on spaced repetition it will show you the same set of questions in increasing time intervals that means you have to recall the notes today then three days later then seven days later and so on this is the ultimate study technique since you are incorporating spaced repetition and active recall together method number three utilize multiple sensory pathways for active recall let me explain don't just recall using your mind i always recall writing on a whiteboard or speaking out loud sometimes i pretend to teach the concepts to a group of imaginary students this way my brain gets stimulated through multiple sensory pathways method number four do practice questions when you are taking questions you are recalling information from the memory so it is a form of active recall on the other hand this will test your understanding of the concepts you will also learn to recall information under stress like in an actual exam if you watched until this moment it's time for the challenge i'll ask some questions from this video don't look at your notes try to recall them from the memory and realize how ineffective passive learning is you can find the answers in the description [Music]
Rowan SharkawyPublished 5 months ago in 01The strangest summer in recorded history
It is now April 10, 1815, and the day will soon be gone. The rumble of the eruption of Mount Tambora on an island off the coast of Indonesia can now be heard more than 2,000 kilometers away. Plumes of sulfurous fumes and ash shot thousands of meters into the sky, creating a dark storm cloud of spray and lightning. The eruption was the largest on record, but the impact was just beginning. Tambora rose into the air and spread across the globe, blocking the sun for an entire year. The dark and cold weather of 1816 had a devastating effect on agriculture, and famine spread across the northern hemisphere. As countries battle the pandemic, artists are hailing this seemingly apocalyptic era. It was a year without a summer—one of the darkest periods in human history.

OliviaMartinPublished 6 months ago in 01Merging Physical Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence to Achieve Collective Super-Intelligent Miniaturized Robots
The current applications of PI are simple and limited to the mechanics (e.g., multistable structures, metamaterials, origami, kirigami), materials science (e.g., smart, stimuli-responsive and functional materials), robotics (e.g., soft robots, miniaturized robots), fluidics, active matter, biology, self-assembly, and collective systems. Hard and bulky robots are driven by Artificial intelligence (AI) in which a variety of sensors (including vision devices such as 2D/3D cameras, vibration sensors, proximity sensors, accelerometers, and other environmental sensors) are embedded in their assembly that feeds them with sensing data they can analyze and act upon in real-time. These developments are only focused on simple PI capabilities so far (e.g., responding to an external stimulus or interaction with the local environment), while there is an urgent need for more advanced PI capabilities for enabling intelligent machines (especially miniaturized robots) operating autonomously in real-world conditions. For example, most miniatured robots are driven by PI of their material systems and are incapable of interacting with humans and the environment through intellectual abilities that are typically inherent in biological organisms. For example, a few common uses of PI in miniaturized robots include:

Ryan WilliamsonPublished 6 months ago in 01Ancient Rome
- [Narrator] The story of ancient Rome is a story of evolution, and the world's ability to adapt and survive for over 1,000 years. Rome began as a small village on the Tiber River in central Italy. Over the next few centuries, the country grew into an empire stretching from the North Pacific to the Persian Gulf. During this transition, Rome demonstrated political, military, and cultural power that became a great power and helped shape the Western world. The history of ancient Rome can be divided into three main periods: the imperial period, the republican period, and the imperial period. During the Imperial period, Rome was a monarchy, ruled by seven kings. According to legend, the first king of Rome was a man named Romulus. He and his twin brother Remus are said to have founded Rome in 753 BC. In 509 BC, Rome adopted a republican form of government, in which the country was governed by two annual representatives, known as orators and later orators. One of them was the famous general and diplomat Julius Caesar. Next is the Imperial period. It was marked by the rise of the Roman Empire and famous leaders such as Octavian, the first Roman emperor, who came to the throne in peacetime, and Nero, who was made the some scholars are the most corrupt emperors of Rome. Rome's importance and pride in its soldiers was essential to the development of its world, a need that was evident from the beginning of the Empire when Rome was a small village. Despite this, Rome conquered its neighboring countries. In the end, this rapid growth reached the Roman rule in the Italian peninsula and the entire Mediterranean, where they conquered Greece, Egypt and Carthage. Later Rome helped the military conquer territories as far as England and Iraq. The sheer size and growing population required advances in Roman technology. Aqueducts were built, increasing people's access to water, helping to improve public health and paving the way for the famous Roman baths. A 50,000 mile road system was also built. Although originally designed for the military, it facilitated the movement of people and ideas throughout the empire. The spread of ideas and increased contact with different cultures allowed other aspects of Roman culture to develop. The key to Rome's success and longevity was the empire's acceptance of the cultures of the regions it conquered. Rome received Latin from the neighboring country of Latium, where it became the official language of the kingdom and the ancestor of the Romance languages of Europe. The Romans also absorbed the culture of the ancient Etruscan states, including religion, the alphabet, and aspects of gladiatorial combat. However, no other nation was as powerful as the ancient Greeks. Their influence can be seen in Roman art and architecture. The Roman upper class commissioned paintings and statues modeled after Greek art. Greek architectural styles, such as columns, were used in Roman buildings such as the Pantheon and the Colosseum. The rise of Christianity was a cultural change that had great influence throughout the empire. This religion originated in the Middle East and received strong support from Constantine I, the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity. He transformed Rome into a Christian state and encouraged the spread of the religion throughout Europe. In the fourth century, the Roman Empire fell after more than a thousand years of existence. Factors such as political corruption, economic crises, and class wars caused empires to collapse from within, while invasion and other military threats caused empires to collapse from without. Rome's ability to unite diverse cultures, dominate its rivals, and tailor its political system to the needs of its people is a lesson to be learned forever.
