Select ideas:
1: "Spacing" (split in few smaller sessions) is much better than
"Cramming" (all at once long sessions);
metaphor of watering a lawn
2: "Fluency" vs "Mastery"
Repeated reading creates fluency illusion of familiarity, that fades away quickly.
It is much better is to often do:
* testing to that establishes knowledge.
* try to actively "recall", to retrieve from memory, that solidifies memory
Should feel level of "desirable difficulty" to establish memory
3. Test: frequent testing improves performance on future testing
Teach: best learning happens when trying to explain to somebody else (mastery comes are result of teaching)
Mix: varying topic, "interleaving", is much better that study of single topic at a time
4. Sleep & Naps solidify learning, it is essential part of learning
when subconscious mind consolidates what is learned.
5. "Zeigarnik effect" unfinished task is being processed in sleep by subconscious mind, and is better remembered!
Excellent scientific presentation, same ideas!
