Learning is about recall, so forcing yourself to recall (like with flashcards), elaborate or take tests prove effective since that's how our minds work. One example of elaboration that I like and use comes from Physicist Richard Feynman. The Feynman Learning Technique works like this: you take something you want to learn and study it until you are able to present and teach it. If you can't teach it, you haven't learned it. This method involves a degree of simplification. So you cycle through multiple learning stages to discover gaps in your knowledge when you try to teach it. Once you can teach it, you've mastered it.
