Cognitive psychologist Cynthia Nebel explains that effective notetaking is less about transcription and more about active processing to aid learning and retention. She recommends using paper to slow note-taking, organizing information in your own words, employing structured methods like the Cornell system, and reviewing notes through retrieval practice rather than passive rereading. While AI can aid in creating detailed records, relying solely on it hinders learning, so combining AI notes with active review strategies is essential for deeper understanding.
