무엇을 하려고 하든, 어떤 사람이 되려고 하든, 도전하고 싶은 분야에서 계속 앞으로 나아가게 하는 가장 중요한 원동력은 학습 능력이다. 우수한 학생들은 대부분 능동적으로 학습하고 간단하지만 엄격한 전략을 따른다. 누구나 그렇게 할 수 있으며, 한번 해본다면 그 결과에 놀랄 것이다. 중요한 것을 배울 때는 어려운 경우가 많다. 장애물에 부딪히기도 할 것이다. 장애물은 실패가 아니라 노력의 표시다. 장애물을 만나면 노력해야 하고 노력은 전문성을 기른다. 노력이 드는 학습은 뇌를 바꾸고, 새로운 연결을 만들고, 심성 모형을 세우고, 능력을 향상시킨다. 지적 능력은 많은 부분 우리의 손에 달려 있다. 어려움에 도전할 가치는 충분하다. 다음 내용은 학습 전략의 핵심 원리다. 여기에서 규칙을 만들어 습관을 들이고 ..

We're going to talk about some essential ideas in getting your learning on track. The importance of recall, illusions of competence in learning. Mini-testing and the value of making mistakes. One of the most common approaches for trying to learn material from a book or from notes is simply to reread it. But psychologist, Jeffrey Karpicke, has shown that this approach is actually much less produc..

In this video, we're going to give you a little background about how to make a chunk. If you're learning to play a difficult song on the guitar, the neural representation of the song in your mind can be considered as a rather large chunk. You would first listen to the song. Maybe you'd even watch someone else playing the song especially if you were just a beginner who was learning things like, h..

In this video, we're going to answer the question. What is a chunk? When you first look at a brand new concept it sometimes doesn't make much sense, as shown by the jumbled puzzle pieces here. Chunking is the mental leap that helps you unite bits of information together through meaning. The new logical whole makes the chunk easier to remember, and also makes it easier to fit the chunk into the l..

Learning well often involves bit by bit, day by day building of solid neural scaffolds. Rather like a weight lifter builds muscle with day to day exercise. This is why tackling procrastination is so incredibly important. You want to keep up with your learning and avoid last minute cramming. So with that, here's an overview of the key aspects of tackling procrastination. Keep a planner journal so..

Learning for most people involves a complex balancing of many different tasks. A good way for you to keep perspective about what you're trying to learn and accomplish, is to once a week write a brief weekly list of key tasks in a planner journal. Then each day on another page of your planner journal, write a list of the tasks that you can reasonably work on or accomplish. Try to write this daily..

In this video, we're going to get into the specifics of harnessing your zombie powers of habit to help you avoid procrastination while minimizing your use of willpower. You don't want to do a full scale change of old habits. You just want to override parts of them and develop a few new ones. The trick to overriding a habit is to look to change your reaction to a cue. The only place you need to a..

One of the best ways of being effective in your learning is to use mental tools and tricks to inspire and motivate yourself. First, when it comes to learning in general, you should realize that it's perfectly normal to start with a few negative feelings about beginning a learning session. Even when it's a subject you ordinary like, it's how you handle those feelings that matters. Researchers hav..

Just imagine backing out of a driveway for the first time ever in your life. For some of you, that might seem like a pretty exciting proposition. The first time you might do this you would be in hyper alert. The deluge of information coming at you would make the job seem almost impossibly difficult. But, once you've chunked how to back up down your driveway, all you have to do is think, let's go..

Arsenic is incredibly toxic. For centuries until modern methods of detection were discovered, murderers found it to be a very popular substance. So you can imagine the shock at the 48th meeting of the German Association of Arts and Sciences in 1875 when two men sat in the front of the audience and downed more than double a deadly dose of arsenic. The next day the men were back at the conference ..
