How is the
super learning ability trained?
Believe me, if you don’t avoid these five mistakes, no matter how hard you work, your learning ability will not improve much.
1. 5 learning mistakes that need to be avoided 1. Often distracted I don’t know if you are often distracted when you study, and your thoughts often drift to other places.
For example, from time to time open the mobile phone to see the circle of friends, brush the tremolo, browse the news, although the heart knows that we should learn, but always can not control ourselves. Distraction is the most taboo in
learning, which will interrupt the brain’s thinking process, unable to think deeply, weak neural connections will be uprooted, such learning effect is very poor.
When you try to refocus your attention and get your brain into a thinking state, it takes a long time, usually 10-15 minutes.
So, if you are constantly distracted, your brain will not be able to enter the state and be interrupted, which is a waste of time and very inefficient learning. Lack of
sleep When you don’t get enough sleep, your brain slows down, your memory declines, and your ability to solve problems is greatly reduced.
Just like a computer, if you work for a long time and the CPU temperature rises, the running speed will change.
3. Be eager for success many people excessively pursue speed and are eager for success when they study.
For example, the pursuit of reading speed, how many days to read a book. In The Way of
Learning, it is said that learning knowledge is like building a house and building a wall. You can’t pursue the speed of building a wall. You have to leave a certain amount of time for the cement to solidify so that the wall will be stable.
Excessive pursuit of learning speed, knowledge and knowledge can not be linked, can only become an isolated point, such knowledge is easy to forget.
4. Some students read books and draw important places with pens. As a result, after reading the book, they find that the whole book is the key point of marking.
This is a very common illusion of ability, marking it as if you have mastered it.
In fact, drawing too many points can also cause the brain to escape.
5. Repeated practice has mastered a certain knowledge point, but still repeated learning, which is actually falling into the comfort zone.
It not only wastes time, but also falls into the mindset.
Deliberate Practice tells us that the real master is to avoid the comfort zone.
If you have a knowledge point that is easy to learn, you don’t have to waste time, you can challenge more difficult questions.
Excessive pursuit of learning speed, knowledge and knowledge can not be linked, can only become an isolated point, such knowledge is easy to forget.
6. If you look at the method of solving the problem, you will feel that you have mastered it. When some students do the problem, they look at the answer and think that they have mastered it. This problem is very common.
If you don’t look at the answer first, think for yourself, come up with a solution, and do it right, that’s mastery.
So how to solve the above problems and improve the learning effect?
Don’t go away. Keep looking down.
2. Stay focused and get into the learning state quickly. As mentioned earlier, the brain can’t think deeply because of lack of concentration.
Therefore, the super learning ability, first of all, to maintain focus, then how to keep yourself focused?
I recommend three methods. If you are distracted while
studying, pause for 3 seconds and ask yourself a few questions before you are about to do something else. Ask yourself a few questions: At first I suggest you write it down with a pen.
For example, if you pick up your mobile phone and want to play Tik Tok, then write “play Tik Tok” on the paper, and soon, your desire to play Tik Tok will disappear.
2. Pomodoro technique if you use pomodoro to stay focused, you can do it.
Specifically, you can search for “Tomato Clock” in the application market, and there are many such software.
3. Meditation the third way is meditation, which has many benefits, not only to improve concentration, but also to improve negative emotions and improve sleep quality.
However, meditation brings about an increase in concentration, which is usually slow and does not change much in the short term, and can be used in combination with the first two.
These methods, which we have talked about before, are only briefly introduced here.
3. Efficient learning methods 1. What should I do?
2. Why do it?
3. Can you do it later?
Efficient learning needs to fit the brain’s way of processing information. The brain’s process of processing information is: information input-information processing-knowledge output.
1. Information input to ensure efficient learning, the first thing is to ensure the quality of information, can not let some irrelevant, inferior information into the brain, otherwise it will waste a lot of time, so you need to learn to screen, simplify, extract key information.
For example, if you read a book word by word, the speed will be slower.
So how to do it?
(1) The purpose of problem-oriented learning should be to improve the ability of a certain aspect or to solve a certain problem.
That is to say, learning with questions is the most efficient.
For example, my boss asked me to make a plan and give a speech at the meeting next week.
But I can’t do PPT before. What should I do?
So I bought a PPT course and gave priority to the parts I urgently needed to solve. Soon, I finished the PPT. Although it was not very beautiful, I could still achieve 60-70 points.
Another example is that I used to procrastinate seriously. In order to solve this problem, I found several books on Douban and finally decided on Self-control. I roughly read the table of contents and chapter introductions, determined the focus of learning, and soon improved the problem of procrastination. Problem-oriented
learning is very efficient. To
get a book is not to read it immediately, but to determine the focus of learning.
If you are already familiar with some of the chapters, you can skip them and focus on the parts that you don’t know and need to solve.
This is the importance of preview, preview is not to learn ahead of time, but to clarify the key points you need to learn.
(3) Extracting key information When we read, we will find a phenomenon that the author will spend a lot of space in order to prove a certain point of view.
In fact, the whole book, after removing the argumentation part and leaving useful ideas, the number of words may be reduced to ten or twenty thousand words, which is the essence of the whole book.
So, for the first reading, we’re going to go through it quickly, focusing on the bold words, the charts, and the parts that inspire you.
The above methods are to quickly screen key knowledge points and clarify the key points of learning.
2. Information Processing When we begin to learn, the knowledge we take in at this time is still too scattered and disorganized. If we rely on rote memorization, we can remember it at the beginning, but soon forget it. Therefore, we should consciously process the knowledge, so that the knowledge we have just learned can be connected with the existing knowledge, deepen our understanding and form a system, so that the knowledge can be remembered.
So how to process it?
Images, Analogies and Metaphors Our right brain is connected to the visual center, so it’s easier for the brain to remember vivid scenes and images.
So in the process of learning, if we can use analogy or metaphor to construct some vivid scenes and images, it can help us remember. The principle of the
memory palace comes from this.
Here is another example. In
high school biology, the biology teacher taught us to memorize the effects of phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) on plants. So
the teacher said, if you look at phosphorus (P), the upper part is round, you can think of it as a round fruit, so phosphorus (P) can promote the growth of fruit, while nitrogen (N) looks like a leaf, so nitrogen (N) can promote the growth of plant leaves; Potassium (K) looks like a scaffold, supporting the trunk, so potassium (K) can promote the growth of plants, and the stem is thick and hard.
This method of memory, even after so many years, is still fresh in memory and hard to forget, which is the power of analogical memory. When we
study, we can also use pictures, analogies and metaphors to deepen our understanding and memory.
(2) Label reading method This method comes from the book “This is enough to read”.
How to use it?
The core lies in “excerpt + perception”.
Excerpt refers to the extraction of the inspired content.
Perception, that is, to write down the perception of reading this content, and to reflect on how to improve it in connection with past experience.
“Excerpt + perception” is a very effective method, because it links the knowledge learned with past experience. Only when there is a link between
knowledge and knowledge can it be really useful to you and change your thinking and behavior. When
I used to read books, I always made the reading notes of the whole book.
But after a long time, it’s easy to forget.
Later, when I read The Onion Reading Method, the book talked about a misunderstanding of reading, that is, “all knowledge should be remembered.”. I was so inspired by
this idea that I wrote it down.
Finally, I changed the way I read, and the speed and quality of reading were greatly improved.
This is the benefit of “excerpt + perception.”.
What we learn is to use the knowledge we have learned to bring about changes in thinking and behavior. If you blindly pursue speed, you will not be able to reflect on past practices, which will not bring about any changes. The
label reading method is a very good method, and it is also the longest part of the learning process.
(3) Ebbinghaus learning method Ebbinghaus, a famous psychologist, found that we can remember less and less knowledge as time goes on.
Just learned knowledge, 20 minutes later, can remember less than 60%; a day later, may be less than 1 & # x2F; 3.
This also explains why the rush study before the exam can remember some knowledge at the beginning, but after a few days, there is almost no impression.
So in view of this situation, how to improve learning efficiency?
A. Recall what you have just learned in time, and you will forget most of it in a day.
Therefore, when studying, every time you read a chapter or listen to a lesson, you should recall it within 24 hours.
You can choose to do this before sleep, because during sleep, the brain integrates knowledge and consolidates memory models.
B. Self-test Write down the knowledge points you often miss or make mistakes on the card, and write the answers on the other side of the card.
Then carry out spot checks at any time to test themselves and consolidate their memories.
(4) Structuring knowledge Even if you make reading notes and often recall them, the knowledge at this time is still isolated and unsystematic, and there is no connection between knowledge.
It’s like giving you a bunch of parts for a car that you can’t get assembled into a car and then go on the highway.
If the knowledge is structured and sorted out to form a system, then we can solve a certain kind of problem systematically.
So, how to build a knowledge system?
When you finish reading a book and make reading notes, put your reading notes into the corresponding topic.
For example, I set up a special topic of “ability management”, where all the knowledge related to ability is put.
In case of doubt, as long as you find the theme, you will soon find a solution.
Of course, the content of each topic in the early stage is still very small, and you need to fill in constantly.
When the content is more and more abundant, it becomes your personal library.
Your knowledge has been systematized, and the problem is no longer a point-like thinking, but has risen to a larger pattern.
It should be pointed out that there will be multiple themes in a book, such as how to learn, how to concentrate, how to memorize efficiently, etc. You need to split the book into multiple themes and put them into the corresponding themes. It’s hard to see the effect of
this method in the short term, but over time, you can feel its power.
3. Knowledge output is actually practical application. Only when knowledge is applied in practice can it really bring about change.
Why do some people read so many books, know so much truth, but still have a bad life?
The reason is that if you don’t practice, of course, there will be no change.
Here we have to talk about the pyramid of learning, which includes active learning and passive learning.
However, many of our students listen to the class, read the book, there is no follow-up, such knowledge retention rate is very low, and will not change much.
Why does active learning work best?
Because in the process of discussing, practicing and teaching others, there is a connection between knowledge and knowledge, forming a network structure. The effect of this way of learning is the best. Here, what Xiaoming recommends most is to teach others what you have learned. You can retell what you have just learned to your friends, or write an article. Published on the official account and Zhihu.
In this process, you reorganize and recombine complex and unsystematic knowledge, so that readers can see simple, understandable and systematic content, which is the best way to learn. Every time
Bai Juyi wrote a poem, he would read it to an illiterate old lady. If the old lady could not understand it, he would change it until the old lady could understand it. It is a very important ability
to make complex knowledge simple and interesting, and we should practice it deliberately.
Finally, give you two words: 1, to improve their learning ability, the most important thing is action, from now on. There is no shortage of ideas
in this era, and people who take positive actions are the most valuable.
2. Don’t excuse yourself by saying “do it later,” which translates to “never do it.”.
Don’t say it’s too late. It’s never too late to learn.
When to learn and when to benefit.
. Focus on not getting lost ~
