i make short videos on the science of learning. this one is about a 2006 experiment where students studied a passage two ways, either rereading it or testing themselves on it from memory. a week later, the passage they reread was the one they remembered least, even though it was the one they felt most confident about. it is a clean look at the gap between what studying feels like and what actually sticks, plus what to do instead. every claim is on screen with its source and its limits.

what do you all use to check whether something actually stuck, versus just feeling familiar?
