Jeffrey D. Karpicke

Jeffrey D. Karpicke is a cognitive scientist known for his research on learning and memory. He studies how people acquire and retain information, focusing on methods like retrieval practice—actively recalling information to enhance learning. Karpicke's work suggests that testing oneself on material, rather than just reviewing it, significantly improves long-term memory retention. His findings have important implications for education, indicating that effective study techniques can help students learn more efficiently and retain knowledge longer. Through his research, Karpicke has contributed valuable insights into how we can better understand and improve the learning process.
