Huberman: How to study and learn Flashcards
Question
D
What is the best method to study?
Offsetting natural forgetting enhances learning. Focus on accessing memory systems to counteract forgetting
Neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity involves the strengthening and weakening of connections between neurons. It occurs in three different mechanisms: strengthening, pruning, and forming new connections.
How to counter act ?
Testing. It not just helps in evaluating knowledge, but also for preventing forgetting. Neuroplasticty and learning require active engagement, focus and alertness.
Sleeps role in learning?
Listening to music while studying
Three mechanism that occur for Neuroplasticity?
Strengthening of neural connection, weakening of neural connections, addtion of new neurons (Neurogenesis
What does straing and agitation while learning indicate
Neuroplasticity. They are a cue thatt your nervous system needs to change and neuroplasticity is taking place.
Top habits of highly effective students
Schedule specific study time to eliminate distractions. They study alone, avoid interruptions, and have multiple study sessions during the day. They schedule regular study timess to improve focus and learning. They limit distractions. Teaching others
Cornerstone of learning
Effort
When does the remodeling of neural connections occur
sleep
Behavioral tool to improve focus
Mindful meditation
Best way to learn and retain material
Testing oneself multiple times prior to the final test is essential for locking material into neural circuits
what does testing on the study material expose?
It shows us what we know and what we need to learn. Facing challenges in memory recall during testing can lead to better retention and understanding.
When should you test your self when learning new material
Testing yourself soon after exposure offsets natural forgetting
What are the best questions to demonstrate knowledge of the material
Open ended short answer questions are the best best study tools
