Learning Tips and Study Habits

The word is on one side, and the definition is on the other side.

Einstein once said that he thought in a stream of pictures. He used mental imagry to help him think and create new ideas. He liked to play with what he called "thought experiments" where he would imagine all sorts of wild and unusual ideas. The idea of relativity came to him after he imagined what it would be like to ride on a beam of light. Einstein also set aside time every day to think. His brain was his greatest asset, and he used it as if he were going into a job, taking time out to do nothing but imagine and wonder and try to come up with new ideas. He also used what he called "hard thinking" and "soft thinking." Hard thinking was when he studied scientific information and worked on learning new facts and new scientific formulae. Soft thinking was when he stopped consciously working on things with his mind and instead did things he enjoyed, like playing the violin or sailing. When his body was relaxed, his mind often worked on the scientific problems subconsiously, and he could come up with very creative ideas that way. You can use Einstein's techniques yourself. First, study your schoolwork as hard as you can. Then, take an hour or so to do something you enjoy, and let your mind work on the problems while your body does something else. You can also use "thought experiments" to dream up new ideas for yourself.

Ask a friend or your parents to help you or say "I'm sorry, but I really don't understand this problem,"

Homework could be confusing for a number of reasons. You may not have listened well in class while the teacher was explaining it, you may not have taken notes to refer back to, or the teacher may not have explained something well.

Practise, practise and more practise, when you get bored from failing so much, buy a Whistle.

This is called "subliminal" learning - it doesn't make you memorize things, but it helps your brain get started learning by being familiar with the terms.

If you mean house addresses, the best way would be rote memorization. Keep reciting the addresses and have a mental image of who lives there. It takes a little effort, but for just nine things, it's the quickest way.

It does indeed take an average of 20 repetitions for most people to learn something new. This is why homework has you repeat a process so many times in different ways, and why people who are trying to learn a new language often have trouble unless they actually speak it with someone. When breaking one habit (like smoking) and substituting a new one (like exercising), you can pretty much consider it a success if you stick with it for three to four weeks.

The kinds of reader are the following:

a. Good Reader - easily comprehend what he reads

b. Regressive Reader - does not easily comprehend what he reads

c. Skillful Reader - not rely on dictionary for words due to large recognition of vocabulary

Mentally, by association of ideas with either numbers, letters, or objects.

Anything to shake things up -- cleaning your teeth with your 'wrong hand', chewing gum and taking a shower with your eyes closed can all boost your intelligence. Doing anything different makes the brain think harder.

But if that doesn't work just study!!

learning to read music and play an instrument exercises the brain to a point where your intelligence has a more advantage over other persons especially if you are at a school age.

Anyone can learn. Different people learn at different rates, and some people learn more easily than others do, but everyone can learn something.

Life long learning is simply the pursuit of knowledge over the course of one's lifetime. This does not need to be formalized, as in taking classes for the rest of your life -- not to mention that the tuition bills would be expensive! Rather, it is just pushing yourself to learn, grow and experience new things. Learning can happen throughout your life through reading, travel, and an inquisitiveness that one keeps through life (followed by actions to get the answer).

The better your environment and the more access to learning resources, the better the learning will be!

It's not really essential -- many people treat learning as work, and do fine. However, it's nice to be able to enjoy learning. You do remember what you've learned better if you've had fun learning it.

Priorities are hard for many people - you have to discipline yourself so that everything gets done on time, and that sometimes means putting off something you might like to do better in favor of something that is more important in the long run. Here are some tips to help out: * Make a written list - things are easier to decide if they are down in black and white - either on paper or on a computer. List all of your choices, including fun stuff and play (TV, video games, computer chatting) ... everything * Rate each item on the list in order of importance - be honest on this step. Importance should be things that will improve your school grades, help with your job, improve your mind or body, or improve your paycheck. Less important is entertainment and hobbies. * Make a calendar showing the time you think it will take to do each thing - this is another "black and white" way of seeing exactly what you have to do, which helps you to prioritize better. You can also have a check-box or chart so that you can mark off which parts you have completed and how far you have come on each item - that gives you a good sense of accomplishment and keeps you on top of the time limits. * Reward yourself for doing the right thing - you can either put money into a jar every time you succeed at a less-pleasant task and use the money to buy something nice, or keep track of your progress like they do in those charity fund raisers (a big poster or chart), or anything you can come up with to help encourage you! Think of priorities as a big jar - first you put the big rocks in your jar, then you put in the little rocks, then you put in the sand - and then you fill it up with soda! There is always more room if you put in the important things first instead of filling it up with little rocks and sand - and no matter what's inside your jar, there's always room for a soda! OK, you can fill up your jar with a healthy fruit juice if you want.
