Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When a study session feels good I walk away assuming I learned everything in it, and when it feels like a slog I assume none of it stuck
- I’m convinced everyone notices when I’m anxious and is quietly judging me for it
- I decide what still needs work purely on vibes
- I cram it all in one long marathon session right before the deadline and walk out feeling sharp and ready
- Loud rooms, certain textures, bright light have always set me on edge, and I think the sessions might be shifting that
Practices that may help
- Global vs. local JOL separation
Rate individual items separately from your general sense of "how the session went" — they diverge.
Judgments of Learning: Why You Misjudge What You’ve Learned - Survey Experiments: Testing Beliefs by Asking Others
Test social predictions by asking a small sample of others what they actually think — instead of assuming.
Behavioral Experiments: Testing Beliefs in the Real World - Restudy decision protocol
Use a defined decision rule — not a feeling — to determine which items get additional study.
Judgments of Learning: Why You Misjudge What You’ve Learned - Judgments of Learning: Why You Misjudge What You’ve Learned
Judgments of learning (JOLs) are in-the-moment predictions about how well information will be remembered later. Thomas Nelson’s research showed JOLs are often inaccurate — biased upward by current processing fluency — causing learners to declare items "learned" prematurely and under-study material they will later forget. Delayed JOLs and retrieval-based checks produce more accurate predictions and better study-time allocation. - Learning environment design
Set up your study environment before the session to minimize regulation demands during it.
Self-Regulated Learning: Taking Control of How You Learn - Spacing over massing
Study across multiple sessions separated by time, not in one concentrated block.
The Fluency Illusion: Why Easy Reading Fools You Into Thinking You’ve Learned - Track and communicate sensory sensitivity changes during SSP
Monitoring sensory reactivity across sessions gives the clinician the data to pace the protocol safely.
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP): What It Is and What the Evidence Shows - Delayed judgment of learning
Wait several minutes after study before rating how well you will remember — early ratings are systematically too high.
Judgments of Learning: Why You Misjudge What You’ve Learned - Make It Stick: The Science of Learning
"Make It Stick", by Peter Brown with psychologists Henry Roediger and Mark McDaniel, distills decades of cognitive science into a few high-leverage practices: retrieval practice, spacing, interleaving, and elaboration. Its central counterintuitive claim — that the most effective learning feels harder and slower than rereading — is backed by strong experimental evidence. - Running the Experiment and Observing Results
Do the planned activity, observe what actually happens, and record results immediately.
