349: This is How Your Brain Actually Learns (The Brain Science Behind Our RAMP Tool)

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we explain the neuroscience behind our RAMP study tool -- which we introduced in our last episode. We discuss the limitation of working memory, which makes it essential to move legal rules into long-term memory through spaced repetition and scaffolding.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The research and science behind our RAMP study tool
• Scaffolding and why we use three learning tiers
• Studying through spaced repetition
• RAMP study mode features and confidence calibration
• How much information can our working memory hold?
