Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeart Radio.
Good morning. This is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast.
Today's tip is to create a closed book summary of what you've just read.
Doing this can increase your recall of a text, far beyond what reading the same text multiple times can do.
Today's tip like others this week comes from Amanda Ember's new book Time Wise.
In this book, she shares tips from other people about how to work well and feel better about time in general.
In the book, she cites a study on memory from Jeffrey Carpicky and Janelle Blunt from Purdue University.
The researchers divided participants into different groups and asked them to use different methods to study a text.
One group was asked to do repeated reviews, reading the material over and over again until they felt they had learned it.
The other group was asked to do a free recall, which means they read the text once, closed the book, and tried to recall from memory what was covered.
Then they were tested on the material.
They were also asked before taking the test how well they thought they had learned the information.
Curiously, people who had reviewed the material repeatedly thought they knew it well.
But it turned out they did less well than the folks who read the material once and then spent some time recalling from memory what was covered.
So if you want to remember a text well, it helps to write the equivalent of a grade school book report.
Now later in school, we had to write more detailed papers where we advanced a thesis and argued from evidence in the text.
But back when you had to do elementary school book reports, you basically were just saying what happened in the book.
You wrote that down. And it turns out that writing a basic book report now can help you too.
Amanda suggests that when you next set out to read an article or book, tell yourself that when you finish, you will have to write down everything you can remember.
Then when you do finish, open a blank document or grab a sheet of paper and write down a summary.
After you do this, if you feel there are elements you are missing, feel free to return to the text.
You can write them into your summary or do a second free recall test where you add the details from this here, second read.
One way to keep yourself accountable for doing this recall is to make a habit of writing summaries somewhere like your own blog or website.
Or for a site like Goodreads.
But taking the step to recall and reconstruct what is in a book can increase your memory and understanding.
For anything important, that is probably worth the time.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
