1 flagged finding: a quote mischaracterizing behavioral/cognitive psychology retrieval-practice research (Roediger & Karpicke, Cepeda et al., correctly cited elsewhere in the article's references) as 'neuroscience research,' attributed to the vague, uncitable phrase 'Learning science principle underlying certification study advice.'
Before"Neuroscience research on spaced repetition shows that retrieving information from memory is more effective for long-term retention than re-reading it. The cheat sheet creation process, if done from memory, is practicing retrieval. That is why making your own cheat sheet outperforms using someone else's." - Learning science principle underlying certification study advice
AfterCognitive psychology research on retrieval practice shows that retrieving information from memory is more effective for long-term retention than re-reading it. The cheat sheet creation process, if done from memory, is practicing retrieval, which is why making your own cheat sheet outperforms using someone else's.
Why: Removed a quote mischaracterizing behavioral/cognitive psychology retrieval-practice research (Roediger & Karpicke, Cepeda et al., correctly cited elsewhere in the article) as 'neuroscience research', attributed to the vague, uncitable phrase 'Learning science principle underlying certification study advice'. De-attributed the quote and corrected the field mischaracterization from 'neuroscience' to 'cognitive psychology', consistent with the article's own correctly-cited references.
