Roediger & McDaniel's Make It Stick — an executable toolkit for effective learning based on cognitive science. Stop re-reading and highlighting. Start retrieving and spacing. Covers 5 use cases: ① Study Smarter — replace passive review with active recall ("I study for hours but forget everything") ② Long-Term Retention — use spacing and interleaving ("How do I remember what I learn?") ③ Deep Understanding — move beyond memorization to mastery ("I understand it in class but can't apply it") ④ Self-Testing — use retrieval practice effectively ("How do I test myself without a test?") ⑤ Overcoming Illusions — know when you're fooling yourself ("I thought I knew it but failed the exam") Trigger when users say: "I study hard but forget everything" "How do I learn effectively" "I re-read my notes but it doesn't stick" "How do I prepare for an exam" "How to remember what I read" or mention: make it stick / retrieval practice / spacing / interleaving / active recall / desirable difficulties / cognitive science of learning.
