“The actual act of retrieving the information over and over, that’s what makes it retrievable when you need it.”
Roddy Roediger is a professor and researcher of psychology at Washington University in St. Louis. His energies have been focused on learning how information is remembered and how various memory strategies work. His nearly four decades of research are summarized in this article from the MindShift website.

For the Physics teachers and students who are tuning in today, we would like to mention to tools that The Physics Classroom offers that reflect several of the strategies that Roedinger has discovered.
The Review Session consists of a series of reviews on common physics topics. Each review consists of 30-80 questions of varied type and difficulty level. The answer and an explanation or solution is provided for each question.
Minds On Physics is an interactive questioning and quizzing program that consists of a collection of assignments or missions that cover a discrete concept. Immediate feedback is given and links to tutorial information specific to the question are provided. The program is available as both a browser version and an app version.
