Why do we forget things we study?
• our brains trash information that we don't repeat every day, so we need to repeat that information to prime our brains that information is essential to retain it, but it is difficult to open our books to read every single day.
what are the Pitfalls of studying from Books?
• First, Studying from books is stressful in something like medicine, the problem is medicine overwhelming, number of information exceeds the number of our Brain neurons(40 Billion Neuron)
• Second, we need to remember that information for long-term memory to use in Clinical practice, after you study from Book you close it then you will forget everything you have read.
** How do we Prevent our brains to Forget the Materials we study?
• The answer is by using (Anki), Anki is intelligent Flashcards software for desktop and Android, iPhone is designed to make our life easier to study everything in life, Medicine, languages, etc
• Anki is based on the space repetition Principle means that information you learn will be repeated at more and more indifferent intervals to stick in your long-term memory without the need to open or carry any book, yes this is true, you will no longer need to buy or carry those textbooks
