remember the answer. This is in contrast to passive study, where we

(highlight:: Research has shown that active recall testing is far
more effective at building strong memories than passive study. There are
two reasons for this:
The act of recalling something strengthens the memory, increasing

When we're unable to answer a question, it tells us we need to
return to the material to review or relearn it.)

If you spend an afternoon memorizing some science terms, and then don't
think about that material for two weeks, you'll probably have forgotten
most of it. In fact, studies show we forget about 75% of material learnt
within a 48 hour period.)
