Learning Science Principles
Evidence-based techniques for durable learning and memory
Learning science principles are evidence-based techniques for acquiring knowledge that persists, transfers, and remains accessible under pressure. These principles inform how Coscientist supports the Operator's cognitive work.
Core Techniques
- Active Recall — studying by retrieving from memory
- Retrieval Practice — strengthening memory through retrieval
- Spaced Repetition — scheduling review at expanding intervals
- Spacing Effect — memory improves with distributed practice
- Interleaving — mixing topics to improve discrimination
- Meta-Learning — learning about your own learning
Phenomena
- Forgetting Curve — predictable memory decline without review
- Illusions of Competence — false mastery from passive familiarity
