Learning is a loop of reading/listening > applying/questioning. The rest is gobbledygook.

And when I say learning, I mean understanding the material, not just remembering a bunch of information for an exam.

Your quote:

This is wrong. Not every "learning method" is pseudo-science, neither is comparison of the efficacy of different learning methods. As a trivial example, flat lecture and individual textbook reading is inferior to one-on-one discussion and tutoring with a native speaker if the aim is to learn a foreign language.

You missed the keyword "mostly".
