The Feynman Technique is a powerful mental model for learning and understanding complex concepts. It involves explaining a topic in simple terms, as if you were teaching it to someone who knows nothing about it (like a child), to identify gaps in your own understanding.

Active recall, or practice testing, is a study method where you actively stimulate your memory for information by testing yourself, rather than passively rereading or reviewing material.

The Protégé Effect suggests that one of the best ways to learn something is to prepare to teach it to someone else, or to actually teach it. The act of explaining forces deeper processing and organization of information.

Metacognition is the awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes. In learning, it involves actively monitoring your comprehension, evaluating your learning strategies, and adjusting your approach as needed.
