The strategy that has worked for me
in the past is note taking. I think note is so effective for me because it
helps me encode the information by writing it down. When I review the notes I
am also storing the information externally and can use them to help recall or
trigger the ideas later. I also think that note taking helps me because I only
encode the important information and I do it in a way that helps me trigger the
details that go along with that information. I usually take my notes in an
outline technique which helps me quickly reference and find the information I am
looking for in my notes and organizes the information in my head by chunking
subtopics of a general idea together.
Note taking also helps me learn. I like listening to a lesson and have it broken down for me. I've also found that if I listen to a lesson and take notes, I take notes on information that I don't necessarily understand the best. After going through the notes, I can finally understand the information I didn't before taking notes.
