Free or active recall is one of the simplest and most effective ways of studying. You can use it for language learning, learning anatomy, learning history - anytime you want to remember information in the long-term. But many students are either unaware of free recall or don't know how to do it very well.

In this video, I demonstrate free recall and explain a little bit about why it works.

Free recall is most effective only when the items have been "cleared" from your short term memory.

Free recall "enhances organizational processes". In other words, it reduces interferences and helps us to organize what we know.
