#### [[cloze deletion improves memorization with context rich active recall]] --- When you are able to see the whole picture except for that one piece of missing information (the cloze), you have all of the necessary context^[[[Context clues help short circuit the jump to recall and reduces neuron activity for recall in a wrong direction which can cause interference]]] to try and actively recall that small piece of information. You can run through several Cloze deletions for an item so you're constantly reinforcing that pathway (link a trench made by frequent travel) though multiple active recalls. Combined with [[Spaced Repetition]] this becomes an excellent method of memorization^[[[Most modern education focuses on improving storage strength and memorization of isolated facts instead of building connections and formulating knowledge]]]. [[The impact of ADHD on working memory can be combatted with spaced repetition and active recall]] [[Relate personal information to the memorization target this can prevent interference and is easier to recall]] --- Tags: [[Learning]] - [[Memory]] - [[Memorizaton]] - [[Spaced Repetition]] - [[Knowledge Formation]] Links: [[( 2020-09-09 Effective Learning Twenty Rules of Formulating Knowledge]] References: - [[( 2020-09-04 Want to Remember Everything You'll Ever Learn Surrender to This Algorithm]]
