The academic master development plan, master these three points and your child can become an academic master.

\”Cognitive Nature: Psychological Laws That Make Learning Easy\” Does the top student around you play every day and still learn well? And you study questions every day, but there is still a big gap between you and others? Don’t be discouraged. With the right methods, you can become a top student. The three authors of this book, American science writer Brown, and University of Washington psychology professors Henry and Mark, introduce in the book a set of cognitive laws summarized by eleven cognitive scientists after ten years of scientific research, revealing the principles of learning. The ultimate tip. Next, we will introduce the core content-retrieval exercises. ① \”Misunderstandings in Learning\” \”Students, we need to master pronouns this week and conduct a week-long training…\” A week later, everyone will do the questions, but the final exam results are still unbearable. Many people have similar experiences. Is failure in learning really due to lack of ability? In fact, we have all fallen into a cognitive misunderstanding – thinking that only through intensive practice can we master knowledge. What is the essence of concentrated practice? 001 Focus on practice. Before clarifying this concept, we need to know the true purpose of learning. Learning is divided into two steps: learning refers to learning new knowledge or new skills, and learning refers to being able to apply these knowledge and skills. Concentrated practice refers to the learning method of practicing one thing repeatedly over a period of time. For example, committing to memorize college level 4 vocabulary in 30 days, or completing a civil servant interview in 7 days, are all examples of this type of exercise. So, does concentrated practice achieve the goal of skillfully applying the knowledge and skills learned? The answer is obvious: not in most cases. You memorized 3,500 English words in 30 days. Can you speak fluently with foreigners? 002 The essence of concentrated practice is short-term memory. Researchers have found that focused practice blinds us to the effects we see. For a short period of time, it may allow us to acquire certain knowledge or skills, but when it comes time to put them into practice, we will be completely unable to recall them. As the saying goes, remember something quickly and forget it quickly. This is the truth. Concentrated practice can produce quick results, but its other side—quick forgetting—has been overlooked by us. This is why you feel that you are working very hard, but you are unable to use knowledge flexibly and integrate it. ②\”Three Key Steps\” How to transform knowledge into long-term memory to achieve the purpose of learning? Let’s first understand how learning happens. There are three key steps in learning: encoding – consolidation – retrieval. 001 code. You learn to dance in the practice room. The teacher explains the moves to you and demonstrates the dancing skills to you. At this time, the brain converts what you hear and see into meaningful mental representations. This process is called encoding. 002 Consolidation. The next day, you failed to keep up with the rhythm while dancing and your body was too stiff. When the teacher corrects the movements, you will have a clearer understanding of the key points of the skills and movements. At this time, you will enter the second stage of learning – consolidation. But consolidation does not mean that you can retain memory for a long time, because this is learning based on short-term memory and does not require too much mental effort. 003 Retrieval. The third step in learning is retrieval. For example, if you wantParticipate in a dance competition. After a day of training, before going to bed at night, you imagine yourself dancing on the stage and practice silently. This process is retrieval. Psychologists have found that the easier knowledge or skills are to retrieve, the less likely they are to be remembered. On the contrary, the more effort you expend on retrieval, the more profound your memory will be. For this reason, it is particularly important to use retrieval exercises in learning. ③\”Magic Weapon: Retrieval Practice\” There are three main methods of retrieval practice: interval practice, interspersed practice and diversified practice. When used in combination, the effect will be better. 001 Interval practice. Spaced out exercises are designed to make you forget and make you put in more effort to recall. Learning is more effective when you put more effort into it. How long is the appropriate interval? Under normal circumstances: There should be at least one day between two exercises to avoid meaningless repetition. For example, when practicing calligraphy, the effect of practicing one character a day will be much better than practicing 100 characters a day. Font training mainly involves practicing strokes and structure, one word a day. During the writing process the next day, you will unconsciously recall the steps you wrote yesterday. This recall process achieves the purpose of retrieval and strengthens memory. 002 interspersed exercises. In the exercise, insert two more topics or skills. For example, when learning English, you can intersperse word memorization, reading and listening. You will find that the words you memorize happen to appear in the reading questions, and the listening materials sometimes turn out to be articles you have already read. On the surface, in 30 days, you will memorize many fewer words than if you memorize them intensively, but these words are used repeatedly in reading and listening, and you have memorized them subconsciously. 003 Variety of exercises. It refers to applying knowledge to actual situations and performing corresponding exercises according to changing conditions. For example, you spend 30 days training how to write the beginning and end, but you still can\’t write an article well. If you are allowed to practice writing character drafts, morning reading drafts, or marketing copy, you will be more flexible in choosing words and sentences. To sum up, the connections between brain neurons are extremely plastic. We often say that \”the more you use your brain, the more flexible it becomes.\” How to use it specifically? Use three methods of retrieval practice: spaced practice, interspersed practice and diversified practice. If you use them in combination, you will learn better. That’s it for today’s sharing. “Learning that consumes hard work is deep and the effect is more lasting.” .\” I hope it can inspire you, please remember to give us a like and encourage us.
