The benefits of retrieval practice are long-term.

conscious mnemonic devices can help to organize and cue the learning for ready retrieval until sustained, deliberate practice and repeated use form the deeper encoding and subconscious mastery that characterize expert performance.

But this last active recall step, where you repeatedly bring the information to mind, is what gets it safely stored in long-term memory. You’ll have to recall frequently in the beginning, but less and less often as time goes by. Flash cards are valuabl

“Making learning conditions more difficult, thus requiring students to engage more cognitive effort, often leads to enhanced retention.”

A single, simple quiz after reading a text or hearing a lecture produces better learning and remembering than rereading the text or reviewing lecture notes.
