Create-Your-Own Flashcards provides you with access to a powerful study tool to engage in retrieval practice and integrate spaced repetition into your study routine.
Retrieval practice involves recalling previously learned material—pulling information out of your brain instead of trying to cram more in—through methods such as flashcards and answering multiple-choice questions. This method of study encourages you to actively engage with the material instead of passively absorbing information, which aids in the retrieval and consolidation of the material into long-term memory. Research has shown that this approach is more effective for learning and makes the recall of information easier compared to passive forms of study, like re-reading notes.
Flashcards are accessible to all users on the web with an active subscription to Picmonic at no additional cost. The mobile application is not supported at this time. They are fully managed within the TrueLearn platform, which is integrated with Picmonic. TrueLearn is the parent company of Picmonic.
