Elaboration

Memory isn't a recording device — it's a web, and new information only sticks when it's woven into existing threads. The act of explaining 'why' something is true forces your brain to build multiple retrieval paths to the same idea, making it accessible from many directions. This is why teaching others is the most powerful learning strategy: it demands you connect every loose end.
