In this monologue podcast, Dr. Alex Young shares a practical method for reducing cognitive load and enhancing learning through coding, using his experience preparing for the Royal College of Surgeons exam as an example. He demonstrates his study setup, which includes linking a MacBook Pro and iPad Pro for screen sharing, and explains his approach to structuring information from textbooks and other resources into a centralized knowledge repository like Evernote. Dr. Young emphasizes active recall by generating questions, focusing on areas of weakness, and relating the material to personal experiences to build context and relevance.
