What learning strategies do quick learners follow?
Efficient learning techniques for quick learners.
I want to tell you that I’ve met a lot of people who seem to be learning slowly. They have a deeper understanding of some fields than the so-called “quick learners”. As a matter of fact, slow learners are just what fast learners lack seriousness and carefulness. So I want to say to you that those seemingly inefficient learning strategies are probably your strengths, not your weaknesses.
After I expressed my personal views, I have some basic learning and memory strategies that I would like to share with you. These strategies come from my past work and life experience, and I think they have certain universal values.
Efficient learning techniques for quick learners.
learning strategies:
Strategy 1:
Many students feel that they pay a lot, have a lot of pressure, are tired and hard to learn, but their grades can’t be improved. When we read novels and movies, we never deliberately remember anything. Over and over again, we remember a lot of content, such as outline, important plots, and characters, and it’s not easy to forget them. Why only a few textbooks are recited over and over, but they are always forgotten; homework is done pile by pile, but it is always not mastered, and the results are not raised. No matter good or bad students, they feel tired and tired.
In fact, not learning itself is very difficult; many students are not crushed by learning itself but in the psychological breakdown! Since the child entered high school, parents and teachers have entered the first level of combat readiness, desperately emphasizing the importance of learning, desperately emphasizing the need to work hard.
Entering high school is like entering a concentration camp. Students study in a state of depression and suffocation every day. The nerve has been in a state of high-intensity stress, just like the bowstring which has been tensed all the time; it will break down after a long time.
In addition, in a state of high anxiety and tension, it will lead to narrow thinking, affect the flexibility, breadth, and memory of thinking, and lead to low learning efficiency. The lower the learning efficiency is, the more you want to make up for it by prolonging the learning time, thus falling into a vicious circle.
The difficulty of learning is demonized by people. Without a relaxed and peaceful learning attitude, learning is only tired and inefficient.
Strategy 2:
Good study habits are based on a good study attitude. As long as the attitude is correct, you will forget yourself and not be tempted by external things. In fact, it’s very simple to learn well. You can take notes in preparation before class and review them after class. You can consolidate more and practice more, even if you can’t learn, you can also study books and read them hundreds of times. Slowly will develop a good habit of learning, when you overcome their own time to overcome difficulties will not naturally hate learning or even slowly develop their own interest in learning.
Strategy 3:
Cultivate “growth thinking”. Some people believe that intelligence determines success or failure. But Carol dwick, a professor of developmental psychology at Stanford University, found that hard-working people can achieve more. She suggested that learners should cultivate their own “growth mode of thinking”, that is, they should attribute their achievements to their efforts rather than intelligence, and encourage themselves to solve problems through subjective initiative.
Believe in yourself. Self-confidence can affect people’s ability to solve problems. In 2008, psychologists such as Bobby Hoffman of Georgetown University found that self-efficacy (i.e. confidence in one’s ability) plays an irreplaceable role in learning. Therefore, regardless of age, learners should believe that they can learn well.
Don’t blame yourself. Michael wall, a professor at Carlton University in Canada, tracked 134 college students who failed in the exam and found that in the next exam, those who immediately came out of regret and self-blame achieved better results than those who fell into deep self-blame.
Take a quiz. Taking time for a quiz is more effective than repeating it over and over. Nat Cornell of the University of California, Los Angeles, explained that tests can help the brain form a powerful memory that is not easily erased. The test can also test the learning effect well. But Cornell cautions that testing as soon as you’ve learned something new doesn’t create a lasting memory.
Grasp the rhythm of learning. The classic “Ebbinghaus memory curve” in psychology tells us that the process of forgetting is not uniform, the initial forgetting speed is very fast, and then gradually slows down. Doug roller, a psychologist at the University of California, San Diego, further found that it’s not advisable to rush before the exam.
Only by mastering the review time can we learn effectively. For example, if you want to test what you have learned in 10 days, the best time to review for the first time is one day after you have finished. Get enough sleep. Nature, the world’s leading academic journal, published an experimental study by Professor Matthew Walker of the University of California, Berkeley.
In the experiment, volunteers were asked to remember a group of pictures containing information about people, places, and events. One group got enough to sleep the night before the experiment, while the other group was forced to stay up all night. The results showed that the volunteers who had been deprived of sleep remembered 19% fewer pictures than those who had enough sleep. Lack of sleep affects the ability to acquire knowledge, Walker concluded.
Take a nap when you are tired. Many studies have confirmed that even a ten-minute nap can effectively reduce fatigue and restore attention. However, few people pay attention to the effect of napping posture on the rest effect. Zhao Dayong, from the school of psychology, Southwest University of China, found that napping on the back can reduce fatigue more than lying on the back.
Strategy 4:
How to achieve efficient learning? Here, I will introduce a “four modernizations” learning method to students, that is, digestion, simplification, sequencing, and networking.
(1) Digestion.
That is the process of internalizing the new knowledge and integrating it with old knowledge. It is the foundation and premise of effective knowledge storage. Because only digested knowledge can enter the “information base” of the brain to encode and store, so as to transform it into something of its own. The real digestion lies in understanding and understanding. If we just memorize blindly, repeat memory mechanically, eat but not change, and swallow whole dates, then it is difficult for new knowledge to integrate with existing knowledge, resulting in the lack of systematic knowledge. The key to digest knowledge lies in understanding. Understanding is to comprehend, and perception is to think, comprehend, and appreciate. No matter what kind of knowledge, only after thinking, can we understand it thoroughly? Otherwise, even if occasionally, it will be forgotten soon.
(2) Simplify.
It is to simplify the complicated knowledge, visualize the abstract knowledge, and organize the disordered knowledge by using concrete thinking, abstract logical thinking, divergent thinking, centralized thinking, and other ways of thinking, with concise formula, symbol, chart, or general language and other forms. The key to simplification is to transform and condense information.
“Simplicity is the ultimate complexity” — Da Vinci
It’s a myth that Superman learners learn 10 languages, write three novels, and read 15 books about different subjects at the same time. Multitasking results in poor performance.
A study conducted by the University of London found that people who open e-mails while focused on their work had a 10 point drop in IQ. If you don’t sleep for 36 hours, you lose 10 IQ. If you smoke marijuana, you lose four IQ. Too much distraction silenced us.
Super learners, like Leonardo Da Vinci, have experienced a period of intense immersion. Although Leonardo da Vinci is famous for his scientists and artists, he was not interested in mathematics until he was 40. Then he spent five years learning all he could do.
As we learn, we must simplify. We have to focus on one topic. Taking on too many tasks at the same time will weaken our learning ability.
