How to learn faster: 5 ways to tune

your brain for new things


Moving faster gives you an extraordinary edge for personal and expert
development. Learning assists in acquiring decisive reasoning abilities
and discovering various methods by which we can make connections
with individuals from different societies. It is the best way to manage
the constant change in our lives so that we can move forward with
ease. Also, as science shows, there are five different ways that help you
learn and remember new information faster

1. Teach others (or just pretend):

Washington College in St. Louis says that it can speed up your


learning if you imagine explaining the material you are learning to
another person. This strategy allows your brain to learn more
productively than when you only have to get through a test.

Thus, if you are trying to gain proficiency with clean language, try
teaching it to your friends who have a lower level of language
knowledge. It will help!

2. Make breaks. Refresh your brain:

Louisiana College analysts encourage the need for 30-50 minutes


to focus on new material. A more limited time-frame may not be
enough, nevertheless, more than 50 minutes is already too much.
Thus, enjoy 5-10 minutes of respite. Learning new material with a
busy mind is really unimaginable. Deal with yourself, student! :)

3. Take note by hands:

Taking notes on a computer is usually faster, but using pen and


paper helps you learn and understand the material better. Experts
at Princeton and UCLA have found that when students take
written notes, they listen better and grasp important ideas better.
Pam Mueller, a teacher at Princeton College, says taking notes on
a computer is worse because students will usually write down the
speech, repeating it word for word rather than handling the data
and organizing it in the way most comfortable for them. This is
bad for learning outcomes.

4. Don’t be afraid to take a nap:

To remember what you've learned, it's important to pause


sometimes. A study in the diary Mental Science shows that taking
a nap in between classes helps to remember the material better.
In a study conducted in France, members were taught to translate
16 French words into Swahili in two sessions. Members of one
group meditated in the first half of the day and then at night on
the same day, and members of the other group meditated at
night, then rested, and by morning they came to the second
instance. Those who rested were able to remember an average of
10 words out of 16, and those who didn't - only 7.5.
This shows that rest in the educational experience is doubly useful
- it reduces the time it takes you to understand the material.

5. Use different study methods:

Experts from Johns Hopkins College say that as you master new
abilities, it is useful to change the way you train them. In their
study, members had to successfully complete a task on a
computer. Students who used a different, changed technique
during the second session performed better than those who used
the same strategy the second time. According to Pablo Celnik, it is
better to slightly change the way of learning in unpredictable
classes than to practice the same method several times in a row.
