Abstract Synopsis

  • The study investigated how watching lecture videos at normal speed (1x) versus double speed (2x) impacts memory retention in medical students, using tests immediately after watching and one week later.
  • Results showed no significant difference in test scores between the two groups at both time points, suggesting that watching videos at 2x speed does not impair memory retention.
  • This finding implies that students might save time by watching lectures faster without negatively affecting their ability to remember the material.]
