To organize our efforts, it’s helpful to ask: what would it mean to “know” this material? I’d suggest that someone who “knows” this material should:

  • know how to make and store chicken stock
  • know what stock is and (at least shallowly) understand why and when it matters
  • know the role and significance of chicken stock, specifically
  • know some ways one might use chicken stock, both generally and with some specific examples
  • know of a few common variations and when they might be used

Some of this knowledge is factual; some of it is procedural; some of it is conceptual. We’ll see strategies for dealing with each of these types of knowledge.

To demonstrate a wide array of principles, we’ll treat this material quite exhaustively. But it’s worth noting that in practice, you usually won’t study resources as systematically as this. You’ll jump around, focusing only on the parts which seem most valuable. You may return to a resource on a few occasions, writing more prompts as you understand what’s most relevant. That’s good! Exhaustiveness may seem righteous in a shallow sense, but an obsession with completionism will drain your gumption and waste attention which could be better spent elsewhere. We’ll return to this issue in greater depth later.

And of course, if you don’t cook at all, you’d write none of these prompts! Try to read the examples as demonstrations of how you might internalize a resource deeply without much prior fluency. <span>To demonstrate a wide array of principles, we’ll treat this material quite exhaustively.

We’ll begin with the “recipe” section of this passage, which describes how to make and store chicken stock. It’s interesting to contrast this section’s text with the more conceptual initial paragraphs.

As a form, recipes already involve a somewhat more explicit knowledge structure than you’d find in ordinary prose. This will give us a bit of a scaffold to get started. To know how to m

Simple facts

We could write a prompt which simply asks: “What do you need to make chicken stock?” But this isn’t precise enough: should we recall the quantities or just the names of the ingredients? How much chicken stock are we making? This isn’t focused enough: because it’s asking for so many details simultaneously, it’s unlikely to sharply activate all the memories you want to reinforce. And because it’s asking for so much, it’s liable to lead to inconsistency and intractability: each time you answer, you’ll remember some details and forget others. The inconsistent activations will tend to erode your memory.

We’ll need to break the ingredients list down into the elements which must actually be learned.

There aren’t a lot of concepts or relationships here: it’s mostly just a bunch of raw information you need to know. <span>Simple facts We could write a prompt which simply asks: “What do you need to make chicken stock?” But this isn’t precise enough: should we recall the quantities or just the names of the ingredients?

The first line is about the chicken component. If you’d never heard of stock before, you could begin by simply clarifying what kind of chicken we use: Q. What type of chicken parts are
