Guided Learning Mode

Science-backed structured learning for maximum retention

Our guided mode follows proven learning strategies with 6 carefully designed stages, each scientifically optimized for your brain's natural learning processes.

Based on Dr. Andrew Huberman's research on optimal learning protocols, incorporating strategic timing and cognitive science principles.

1

Preview Stage

Purpose: Build mental frameworks and prepare your brain for learning.

  • AI-generated content previews
  • Key concept identification
  • Learning objective overview
  • Mental preparation for active engagement
2

Active Learning Stage

Purpose: Engage actively with the material to prevent passive reading.

  • Systematic content progression
  • Active engagement techniques
  • Concept connection building
  • Knowledge framework development
3

Flashcards Stage

Purpose: Reinforce learning through active recall and spaced repetition.

  • AI-generated flashcards
  • Active recall practice
  • Knowledge gap identification
  • Memory strengthening exercises
4

Review Stage

Purpose: Consolidate learning through strategic review and summaries.

  • AI-generated summaries
  • Key concept reinforcement
  • Knowledge consolidation
  • Retention optimization
5

Break Stage

Purpose: Prevent mental fatigue and enhance memory consolidation.

  • Strategic timing breaks
  • NSDR protocols
  • Mental fatigue prevention
  • Memory consolidation enhancement
6

Questions Stage

Purpose: Validate knowledge and identify areas for improvement.

  • Comprehensive knowledge testing
  • Performance assessment
  • Learning gap identification
  • Progress validation

Why Guided Mode Works

Science-backed principles for optimal learning

Our guided mode structure is scientifically designed based on Dr. Andrew Huberman's research on optimal learning protocols, incorporating strategic timing and cognitive science principles.

Preview & Active Learning Stages

AI-generated previews build mental frameworks, then active engagement prevents passive reading through systematic progression

Huberman's Insight::

"Active engagement is crucial for neuroplasticity - the brain changes most when you're actively processing information, not passively receiving it."

Research:: Students engaged in active learning are 1.5x less likely to fail compared to traditional lecture-based courses.Huberman Lab Research →
Flashcards & Self-Testing Stage

AI-generated flashcards and knowledge checks reinforce learning through active recall and identify knowledge gaps

Huberman's Insight::

"Self-testing soon after exposure to new material can significantly improve your ability to learn, apply, and maintain new knowledge."

Research:: Students using spaced repetition with active recall were twice as likely to succeed in exams, with up to 30% improvement in recall.Huberman Lab Research →
Review & Questions Stages

AI-generated summaries and comprehensive questions leverage the forgetting curve to reinforce learning at optimal intervals

Huberman's Insight::

"Testing can be used as a tool to learn, not just as a means for evaluating mastery. It's about offsetting forgetting through strategic review."

Research:: The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve shows 50% of information is lost within the first day without review. Strategic testing mitigates this forgetting.Huberman Lab Research →
Break Stage & NSDR

Strategic breaks prevent mental fatigue and incorporate Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) for optimal memory consolidation

Huberman's Insight::

"Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) protocols can enhance learning and memory consolidation, especially when timed correctly after learning sessions."

Research:: Active breaks improve cognitive function, while NSDR protocols enhance memory consolidation and neuroplasticity.Huberman Lab Research →
