week 2 Flashcards
what is chunk
mental leap that helps you unite bits of information together through meaning
how many chunks of information can working memory hold
4
when does brain not working
angry, stressed, afraid
7 steps to build powerful chunks
- work a key problem through on papy
- repeat the problem, pay attention to the key process
- take a break
- repeat problem and sleep
- another repetition
- add a new problem
- do active repetition
what is the effective way than re-read
recalling
chunking helps
increase the amount of working memory
building chunk library helps
build intuition in problem solving
how to build chunk library
focus on the toughest aspects of problem solving
what are the creation of memory traces
focused practice and repetition
3 steps to form a chunk
- focus attention on the information
- understand the basic idea
- gaining context to see how and when to use this chunk
concepts of understanding
like reading map. pay attention to the problem, focus on the connection between steps to solve problem
the 2 ways of learning
bottom-up chunking, big picture
big picture
allows you to see where and what you are learning fits in
bottom up chunking
practice and repetition help build and strengthen each chunk, so you can easily gain access to it
what is a context
going beyond initial problem, seeing it more broadly, repeat practice related and unrelated problems so you see when to use the chunk
