Do these "interventions" generally not involve learning strategies? I do understand that learning styles seem to make no difference according to research, but what if the intervention teaches students to use flashcards and about concepts like spaced-repetition, recall, interleaving, etc. which have shown to help?

There are definitely the teaching of proven learning strategies that can help students, but these are not typically effective if just taught in a brief intervention, and then not continuously reinforced. Learning good habits are certainly impactful, but systems and structures need to be implemented by educators for wide-spread impact.
