How does the brain learn<\/a> best? How does the brain process information?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Only Study Guide You’ll Ever Need<\/em> by Jade Bowler explores four ideas that explain how your brain learns<\/a> best. She uses the acronym “SAAD” to represent these ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to learn how the brain learns<\/a> fast and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Idea #1: Engage Repeatedly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How does your brain learn<\/a> best? First, your brain remembers information best by engaging with it repeatedly<\/em> over time<\/strong>\u2014this popular concept is called \u201cspaced repetition.\u201d Bowler explains that the more time that passes after you learn something, the more information you forget. The key to overcoming this is to review the information again right before you\u2019re about to forget it<\/em>. Keep doing this each time you feel you\u2019re close to forgetting the material. Each time you review it, you\u2019ll be able to remember the information for longer, eventually fully ingraining it into your long-term memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Bowler argues that spaced repetition<\/a> is the best way<\/em> to memorize and retain information long-term, and numerous studies support her claim<\/a>. Scientists began studying the effect of spacing material and tests on memory recall in 1939, and by 1989, a literature review<\/a> emerged showing overwhelming evidence that spaced repetition boosts learning. Later studies from accredited universities and institutions showed that spaced repetition is effective for learners of all ages<\/a> and may work by causing significant electrical activity in the right frontal part of the brain<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idea #2: Build Connections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Second, your brain remembers new information better by <\/strong>connecting<\/em><\/strong> it to concepts it already knows. <\/strong>(Bowler calls this \u201cassociation.\u201d) For example, imagine you have to memorize the purpose of white blood cells\u2014to fight diseases in our body. It might be hard to remember this information alongside all the other information on an exam. However, if you\u2019re able to connect the purpose of white blood cells to the purpose of a concept you\u2019re already familiar with, like the mythological \u201cwhite knight\u201d who comes to someone\u2019s aid, it\u2019ll be easier to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: What if you\u2019re learning about a completely new, esoteric topic and can\u2019t think of an existing frame of reference to connect the information to? In A Mind for Numbers<\/em><\/a>, Barbara Oakley suggests a few other ways to make information more memorable<\/a>. You could move your body while reviewing the information, since we\u2019re more likely to remember things that involve movement. Or, you could try to make the information humorous in some way, as we\u2019re more likely to remember things that make us laugh.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idea #3: Engage Deeply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Third, your brain remembers and understands information best when it\u2019s forced to <\/strong>engage deeply<\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>(Bowler refers to this technique as \u201cactive recall.\u201d) This is because deep engagement with information strengthens neural pathways in our brains that help us recall<\/em> that information. Simply viewing<\/em> study material isn\u2019t enough to strengthen these pathways. Instead, Bowler says we need to think hard about and apply information. For example, asking yourself to define a term and use it properly in a sentence is a more effective way to remember and understand it than simply reading the word and its definition repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Experts agree with Bowler\u2019s point here and elaborate that one of the best ways to engage deeply with a concept and increase understanding is to teach, or pretend to teach, it to others<\/a>. This psychological phenomenon, called the prot\u00e9g\u00e9 effect, <\/em>occurs because teaching information to another person boosts your metacognitive processes. You\u2019re required to test your own knowledge and use it to inform others, making you more aware of your level of understanding and which areas you might need to improve in.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idea #4: Make It Hard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fourth, doing things that are hard<\/em> will improve your ability and understanding the most<\/strong>. (Bowler refers to this idea as \u201cdesired difficulty.\u201d) Bowler explains that our brains prefer doing things that we\u2019re good at or find easy over things that we struggle with. Doing easy things makes us feel<\/em> like we\u2019re being productive, but the brain is just tricking us into avoiding the hard work that will actually<\/em> improve our abilities. So instead of spending time on easy tasks, seek out material and techniques that cause you to work harder\u2014this is how you\u2019ll actually increase your abilities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In Peak<\/em><\/a>, Anders Ericsson agrees that easy tasks don\u2019t do much to improve our abilities\u2014practice must be difficult and push you out of your comfort zone if it\u2019s going to help you improve<\/a>. This is the fourth tenet of his \u201cpurposeful practice\u201d framework, which explains how to make practice (like studying) the most<\/em> productive. In addition to making the practice hard, he recommends having a specific goal for improvement, giving the practice your undivided attention, and seeking feedback<\/a> from others.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
