Q

What three things are we good at with pictures?

A

Recalling & recognizing, and remembering

24
Q

What are the benefits of using images with memorizing words?

A

Using images demonstrated that people had a better recall of the definition of the word they were trying to remember.

25
Q

What is studying?

A

Studying is the act of processing information.

26
Q

What is learning?

A

Learning is the cognitive process of storing information.

27
Q

How does the model of memory work?

A
28
Q

How is cognitive load related to working memory?

A

relates to the amount of information that working memory can hold at one time

29
Q

Why is cognitive load important in learning?

A

it is important because the more load your brain can take the more it can encode and encrypt information.

30
Q

What is a good indicator that your brain is under cognitive load?

A

When your brain starts asking questions like what? Where? Why? When? How?

31
Q

How do you know when cognitive load is not working?

A

When your brain is feeling bored, or sleepy as well as If it feels like you are not applying yourself to the information you are learning

32
Q

How quickly and how much memory can you lose if you don’t practice retrieving the information?

A

Research shows that after learning a fact you will lose 50 to 60% of that memory if you do not practice any retrieval exercises within a week.

33
Q

What is the difference between recalling and remembering?

A

Remember means to keep something in your memory while recall means to access your memory.

34
Q

What is Interlude practice?

A

When you mix problem types or categories you are working on.

35
Q

What is contextual variation?

A

Where you see ideas or concepts in different contexts or situations.

36
Q

What is sensory memory?

A

the storage of information that we receive from our senses.

37
Q

What is working memory?

A

Working memory is a cognitive system with a limited capacity that can hold information temporarily.

38
Q

Is working memory and short term memory the same thing?

A

Working memory is related to short-term memory, but it lasts slightly longer and is involved in the manipulation of information.

39
Q

What is Interlude?

A

an intervening or interruptive period

40
Q

What is a good habit to do after learning and why?

A

20 minute nap or deep meditation after a 90 minute study session. It has shown to increase learning rate by 10 to 20 times.

41
Q

What does urgency and focus help with?

A

Increases learning and neural plasticity.

42
Q

Being able to slip in and out of alertness and calmness is beneficial for?

A

being able to maximize encoding information.

43
Q

What is the blurting method?

A

Involves writing down everything that you know about a topic you are learning, and then comparing it to your notes.

44
Q

What is the scope method?

A

Review the subjects and create a visualization of everything that you need to learn by using a mind map or tree map.

45
Q

What is a retrospective revisions time table and how is it useful?

A

It is a timetable that you will write out on the day of studying. It will consist of your subjects or topics and the dates of which you study those subjects. You will colour code
the dates accordingly depending if you understood what you were studying or not.

46
Q

What is the Five-year-old method

A

Being able to explain and make understand the concepts you have just learned to a five year old before making flash cards.

47
Q

What is interleaving studying and why is it useful?

A

Spacing out topics and subjects, and splitting them up into smaller studying blocks. This drastically improves the time it takes to learn.

48
Q

What is order control?

A

Skipping over information, you are having a hard time processing, marking it and coming back to it.

49
Q

What is the importance of why and how questions?

A

These types of questions bring more (light bulb moments) understanding to the concepts and ideas you were trying to learn.

50
Q

What are the four steps to the Feynman technique?

A
  1. Select a concept to learn.
  2. Teach it to a child.
  3. Review and refine your understanding.
  4. Organize your notes and revisit them regularly.
51
Q

When should you revise material you have first learned?

A

Revise within 12 hours of first learning.

52
Q

What are some good tips for not taking?

A

Minimize notes, words, and sentences. Simplify your notes as much as possible and put them into your own words.

53
Q

How is learning recursive?

A

You will often go back, and re-learn that concept or information in different ways.

54
Q

How is learning excursive?

A

Learning doesn’t have to be linear. A textbook may be laid out ABCD, but our brains may better understand it learning it in a different sequence such as BADAC.

55
Q

How is learning like a puzzle?

A

Sometimes we got to find the outer edges to piece together the rest.

56
Q

How do mind maps help us retrain our brains?

A

Mind maps are a good reflection of what is going on in the brain. If we can see how our brain is working and where it went wrong then we can fix it.
