Your friend approaches you for help regarding a module that has a lot of information. For tests, they need to write long essays explaining the concepts. She struggles because the content has a lot of terminology and is too complicated. Which technique would you recommend your friend use?

Question

Note taking method.

Interleaved practice.

Active retrieval.

Elaboration.

Answer 1

I would recommend that your friend use the elaboration technique. This involves explaining the concepts in your own words, breaking down the information into simpler terms, and connecting it to personal experiences or other knowledge. This can help your friend better understand and remember the complex terminology and concepts, making it easier for her to write the long essays for tests.
