- Spaced practice
- Interleaved practice
Tips:
- Connection between knowledge
- Trying to solve a problem before being taught
- Distilling the underlying principles

Reflection
Reflection is a form of retrieval practice (What happened? What did I do? How did it work out?)
Reflection involves:
- Retrieval Practice (recalling recently learned knowledge to mind),
- Elaboration (for example, connecting new knowledge to what you already know)
- Generation (for example, rephrasing key ideas in your own words or visualizing and mentally rehearsing what you might do differently next date).
