This document discusses six techniques for effective learning: 1. Spaced repetition - Studying concepts over time in small spaces rather than all at once. 2. Retrieval practice - Recalling information in different ways rather than just reading. 3. Framework thinking - Seeing relationships and patterns between ideas to form a bigger picture. 4. Analogy - Relating new ideas to existing knowledge and experiences to aid understanding. 5. Multiple coding - Creating multiple connections and representations to reinforce learning. 6. Reflection - Thinking about experiences to strengthen how they are mentally represented.

- 14. Memory is enhanced by spacing of concepts (duration and content) as opposed to massing them together.
- 15. Your efficiency is nearly a 100% again. Study for 30 mins. Take a break for 5 minutes. Do some fun stuff.
- 16. #1 Spaced Repetition Create small spaces (over a few days) and do a little bit over time, so that it adds up!
- 17. I will remember everything the teacher said, or everything that I heard. PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY
- 20. #2 Retrieval Practice Donāt only recall words and definitions. Make sure to recall main ideas, how things are related or different from one another, and new examples.
- 21. Novices see isolated/disconnected data. Experts see meaningful patterns, relationships, and frameworks.
- 24. P R E PPoint Reason Evidence Point
- 25. P R E PPoint Reason Evidence Point I donāt like smoking (P) because I hate the rat-like smell of it (R). Researchers have found evidences that cigarette smell is one of the major causes of headache and flu for many smokers and non-smokers (E).Therefore, Iāve never picked up smoking. (P).
- 26. P R E PPoint Reason Evidence Point I believe we all need to learn how to learn (P) because knowing how we learn makes us more efficient and better skilled (R). Brain researchers have found evidences how our brainsā neural network become stronger when we practice spacing, retrieve, multiple coding, reflecting, and apply the knowledge and skills (E). For example, using the space repetition technique, we can actually learn faster than mass studying at the eleventh hour (E).Thus, as a teacher, I stress on learning how to learn (P).
- 27. #3 Framework Thinking Focus out from facts and ideas to see a bigger picture. Patterns, relationships, and frameworks make retrieval easier.

- 35. My ex wife was a very good looking womanā¦ on the outside. My ex wife is like a Ferrari with no engine. āOh my god, is that a Ferrari?ā āYeah but it doesnāt work. It doesnāt work. Just sits there and costs me money.ā

- 37. Forget whatever you think about climate change. There are two doors. Behind Door A is a completely sealed room, with a regular, gasoline-fueled car. Behind Door B is an identical, completely sealed room, with an electric car. Both engines are running full blast. I want you to pick a door to open, and enter the room and shut the door behind you. You have to stay in the room you choose for one hour. You cannot turn off the engine. You do not get a gas mask. Iām guessing you chose Door B, with the electric car, right? Door A is a fatal choice ā who would ever want to breathe those fumes? But this is the choice the world is making right now.
- 39. #4 Analogy Describe, compare, contrast - how the ideas you are studying apply to your own experiences or memories.
- 41. The more ways to Kingās College I know, the better decision I can make about how to get there. The more mental representation I have of a concept, the easier it is for me to remember, retrieve, and apply.

- 46. #5 Multiple Coding Create more neural pathways, and also reinforce the pathways through spacing and retrieval techniques.
- 47. Think about the last time you learnt a new skill. What did you learn? Why did you learn it? How did you learn it? āØ (Did you make any mistakes? How did you take those mistakes? How did you feel?)
- 48. We do not learn from experience alone. We learn from reļ¬ecting on the experience.
- 49. #6 Reļ¬ection Reflect to make your concrete experiences āstored and retrievableā in your mental models more strongly.
