The Feynman Technique
Named after Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, this technique helps you truly understand complex concepts through simplification and teaching.
The 4-Step Learning Process
Choose a Concept
Select a topic you want to understand and write it down clearly.
Teach It Simply
Explain the concept in simple language as if teaching someone unfamiliar with the subject.
Identify Knowledge Gaps
Note where you struggle or use complex terms, then revisit your sources to strengthen understanding.
Simplify and Refine
Revise your explanation using analogies and simpler language until you fully grasp the concept.
How Cramberry Enhances the Feynman Technique
Get instant, clear explanations of complex topics that you can use as a starting point for your own simplified explanations.
Cramberry analyzes your explanations to identify areas where you're using complex terms or struggling with clarity.
Practice explaining concepts in a dedicated workspace with feedback on clarity and comprehensiveness.
Why the Feynman Technique Works
Science-Backed Benefits
- Activates deeper cognitive processing by forcing articulation
- Reveals illusions of competence (thinking you understand when you don't)
- Creates stronger memory connections through active recall
- Builds transferable knowledge that's applicable in various contexts
Who It's Best For
- Students learning technical or conceptual subjects
- Anyone preparing for exams or presentations
- Self-directed learners mastering new knowledge areas
- Problem-solvers needing deep conceptual understanding
