      Yes. Case in point: Once long ago a was in a graduate-level seminar class. We were each given complex topics to research and present to the rest of the class. After each presentation we would discuss and ask questions, which the presenter (at least in theory) could answer. Fast forward to exam time... We answered questions about all the topics discussed, and there was also a list of questions, from which we chose one to present an argument about. That one answer was 30% of the exam grade. Luckily, one of the choices involved my class presentation topic! I confidently wrote my argument, because that was the topic I knew inside and out, though it had been weeks since I presented it. I had a hard time with recalling enough about the other presentations to answer any of the other questions. Thanks to this video, I now know how remedy that kind of situation! :D

      Why does everyone here fail to comprehend the difference between knowing something and understanding it? Have you never been taught the words: knowledge and understanding? Do they seem as synonyms to you? They literally differentiate between what you do normally and what you call a cheat. Its not a cheat. Its literally what we call understanding something. To know something but not be able to comprehend from whence it comes, is not to understand something. That is to know something. Literally 'know something' was the given, should we really be surprised that it is thus the conclusion? No. If you know something you know something. Just because you know something doesn't mean you understand it. Knowledge is data. Understanding is grasping the dynamics (elements and their relations) that give rise to all computable data. Are kids in school really this intellectually impoverished?

      I'm late but if it helps, that's where you can slip in techniques of active learning techniques while taking advantage of efficiency for stuff you don't really have an interest in knowing further. So for example, I use active learning whenever I can like in class when taking notes, I take notes as active as I can like it's a part of learning (repeating or summarizing) and help for later repetition/revision. Also making sure I know the outline/direction/main points and important points of the lesson by underlining them as the teacher usually points out while explaining so I can understand and apply the basics more. Some people can actually understand the lesson straight off and they apply it in class or to everyday life when the thing studied about occurs (they use it in jokes or learn more about it through analysis and further inquiry)
      I do still do cramming lol but active learning reaps benefits for those no-time-to-even-review or so-much-inbetween-the-lines analytical tests and even after the tests so I prefer to do it if I can

There are a lot of different people out there with various perceptions, abilities, backgrounds, etc.. Some learn better alone and at their own pace, some might not even start to learn given such a free environment, both might be equal able to understand the same topic. Some might just need to sit in a big lecture hall and their brain will start getting focused, others will get tired. We should have room for different learning types and paces.

      @Ren This is referred to as "sausage stuffing" in Swedish. I think we need sausage stuffing in school. It's forcing people to learn and remember. It can be quite painful though.
      I think the school should encourage students to search for deeper knowledge and understanding. But most people aren't like that. They just want to memorize the basic facts and get on with it.
      While I don't think the education system that we discuss is perfect... I do think that there are just a shit-ton of boring stuff you need to learn. This needs to be prioritized. Once you've done that, you can choose what you want to master. This thinking should be applied on both a micro level (task-to-task; easy and hars questions) and macro level (the individual educational career and intellectual life; boring stuff in ground school, more fucused in uni) and everything in between (e.g. paper-writing at the end each terms.)
      If you're really into learning, you can recapitulate the things you've learned, on the summer vacation and on free time.

    Some advice for learning
    1. Recall within the first 30 seconds of learning something
    2. Feymann technique, use what you have learned so you can express it to a 5 year old
    3. Use mental repetition, your brain is a muscle, use your time wisely to wire your neurones to be able to effectively remember max capacity.
    Some extra tips
    - Don’t try to focus on many things, just one
    - Don’t try remember everything, understand the use of Quality information over quantity
    - Develop intellectual humility. Understand and detach from your perspectives to learn others to gain a better understanding.

    These are some tips, they work for me. Maybe not for everyone. I've been reading a book a month so far this year (well I've made it to 6 books so far).
    1. Mark up your books, take notes in the margins or underline/highlight things that stick out to you.
    2. Stop reading and contemplate parts that you feel are important to you. Or are pivotal moments in the story.
    3. Try to relate those pivotal moments to current events or state of affairs going on. Compare them to your own personal experience.
    4. Takes notes on any profound thoughts you had while reading a chapter. Usually when chapters end, they only take up 1/4 or 1/2 of the page. Write a quick summary of that chapter on the blank part of that page.
    5. Once you are done reading, immediately take out a notebook or open up Word, and write your opinions on what you read, while it's still fresh. Doesn't have to be anything fancy or written like a college report. Just WRITE!
    The last step has helped me immensely. I've made a folder and have written a short report (around 1000 words per book) and have gone back occasionally to add notes here and there from just thinking about the story weeks later. Or when talking to friends who have read the book as well, and made connections and critiques I hadn't thought of. This is a good skill to develop. It's help with listening, critical thinking and helps your writing. Win, win, win.
    Hope This Helps!
    Edit: Thank you for the wonderful responses. Yes, these are tips for beginners. I've noticed this method eventually bleeds over to mentally taking notes. Eventually you won't have to do EVERY step, but it builds the "muscle memory" in your brain to help with retaining information later on.

    Your mind is NOT a computer, your mind is a muscle, so don't trust your memory!
    If you want something to get into your long-term memory instead of the short one, see if you can explain to yourself or someone the information you just acquired. If you cannot do, it simply means that you do not know it, so go again and re-watch or read it until you can explain it and it makes sense. We said the mind is a muscle so the more you learn, the more you learn.
    Quit multitasking and remove distractions so you can focus on quality over quantity.
    What i also do is, i use post-it notes, i write the very important things that i bump into through my day and i still stick them on my wall in my bedroom or somewhere around my desk so i can see them and read them often. They motivate me, they show to me that i am serious and i keep going to reach my goals. If you read this coment - Be Lengedary !

      Incorrect. The mind is a computer that corrupts all files everytime you recall them into your working memory. The prefrontal cortex very much functions like a google search bar but our neural connections are like muscles in that the more we use them, the deeper the pathways are deepened so to speak. I suppose the brain works with both analogies.

There is also the anxiety that the pressure of "performing" when confronted with it in a social setting. Many times people leave a situation totally recalling valid points and thoughts afterwards. I don't think it it always applies but its something that this video left out. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed watching this video.

      We are trapped inside of the moldy standards of schools in particular and of society in general. But that doesn't mean we can't learn to become what we want, how we want to approach the core matter of the problems. Even though I completely agree with you about the shallow methods schools are applying, what you are saying above is external locus of control, you put schools in the controlling position, think that it's the roots of everything happening in your life, affects how our minds even, which means you are reliant on it. Your argument is that schools make us learn less effectively, that's the truth to some cases, but if it's not effective learning the way schools make us do and you are reliant on schools, doesn't that mean you are putting yourself in a dangerous position? Believe that you are the roots of things occuring in your life, being in charge, you will acknowledge the fact that you are the master of your life and you can turn the table no matter where you are right now in life.

When I go back and re-read them in my own words, I'm surprised by how much I can recall on the subject. I use those same notes to fill in holes that I can't remember. This is what I use to refresh information when I get ready for something like a job interview.

      You might like the tree-leaf method. Simply speaking if you got a list of the countries in Europe you woudln't remember them. If you got a map of Europe and an article for each country grouped into those close to eachother then you would forget most of the detailed content in the article describing each country (leaf knowledge) but you would more likely remember the names of the countries. (branch knowledge) or the spesific groups of countries. Basically it's harder to forget the words that name large sets of subknowledge. Even harder to forget the words that name sets of sets of subknowledge.

      Ben Briggs,
      Could you give some examples of those ideas that "are slipping away"?
      Depending on what idea you mean, it maybe the case that those ideas "are slipping away" because they are "built" on originally wrong premises/fundamentals... Example: trying to fix economic problems by using tools built on fundamentally wrong "economic" dogma (today's catch 22).
      P.S.
      Wish more details on what I wrote here, let me know, I'll provide links to few TH-cam videos/presentations/documentaries that explain it more thoroughly.

  • @shaunanderson1951
    @shaunanderson1951 3 ปีที่แล้ว +270

    Feynman’s technique is: studying the thing you want to learn, then summarizing it as if you wanted to teach it to someone. Where you get stuck trying to explain it, you go back to learning about the subject to fill in the gaps in your knowledge! After you write down your explanation, eliminate things that are hard to understand until the final product could be explained to a child. This works because by explaining a complex topic simply, you know that you understand it and if you haven’t already committed the subject to long-term memory (by recalling the information later) you can repeat the process to solidify the memory, perhaps with spaced repetition.

    Theory:
    People don't notice they are forgetting (things so easily) THUS people don't value the act of reviewing and re-watching
    because they forget that they can forgetting.

      Yeah I practice zen buddhism and I have watched alot of vids countless times and i always find somthing i missed. I think it's silly to think that someone can expect to understand and appreciate anything they read or listen to unless they go over it multiple times.

    1. Recall: spend 1min recalling the key points after each section
    2. Feyman: write an explanation for a 5 year old (use analogies)
    3. Spaced repetition (muscle/neuro pathways)

    I'm really grateful for this video.
    The notion of not really remembering thus not even processing or understanding all the information I try to consume has bothered me for a while, and this will definitely be something I use to improve my ability to learn, both in the reminder this is a widespread problem and the tools you provide in the video. So thanks :)

    Well put. I have found, for me, it is to teach what you want to know; similar to Feynman’s method. Read it, wight it out in notes, organize an outline, study the outline, and if possible explain it to someone without you notes, just the outline. It takes time, however I seem to remember more down the road.
