Does it take a person to perform an activity or routine 21 times for it to become a new habit?
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.
What are the kinds of readers?
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
What are the ways of noting details?
Mentally, by association of ideas with either numbers, letters, or objects.
What can boost your intelligence?
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.
What value does lifelong learning refer to?
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).
Here are some things you can do:
- get a hobby - try different things to see what you like doing best
- try working puzzles - crossword, sudoku, whatever appeals to you
- get out of the house - go for a walk, or drive to the store and go shopping
- volunteer somewhere and make a difference in someone else's life
- change it up - find new and different ways to do things (brush your teeth with your opposite hand, drive home from work a different way, etc.)
- make something - find a way to be creative (art, writing, even cooking)
How can a listener resist distraction?
This question can go in a few different directions. If you are talking about listening to a speaker and resisting ordinary distractions that will inevitably be present, the trick is NOT to concentrate on resisting the distractions; this moves you to attend to the distractions, which is what you are trying not to do. Focus on attending to the speaker, and let the distractions pass. As you become aware that your focus has shifted, simply bring it back to where you want it, without punishing yourself. Try neither to attend to the distractions, nor to resist them. Becoming annoyed by an ordinary distraction is the same as focusing more on the distraction than to the thing of interest.
Some people deal with attention deficit disorders and these can show themselves in different ways. Practice and counseling can help. There are various biofeedback interventions with which many have success. Sometimes medications are useful.
There are methods of meditation where allowing any and every distraction of ambient sound to enter and then be gently released from the mind can actually be an effective method for entering a meditative state.
Some individuals have serious neuropsychological problems that affect the brain's ability to filter out irrelevant or distracting stimulation. In social settings, most of us can have a comfortable conversation with someone, even though many other conversations are going on nearby. People dealing with these disorders cannot filter out those other conversations, and their attention is drawn as much to each of them as to the conversation they are trying to have. This is an extremely painful and difficult condition to deal with, and professional help should be sought. Start with your PCP and then follow her/his leads with referrals.
How does the environment and access to resources affect the learning experience?
The better your environment and the more access to learning resources, the better the learning will be!
Why is it important to make learning fun?
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.
What is the secret to priority management?
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.

The best way to memorize your multiplication and division facts is to practice them! Do each division at least 20 times - that's the number of times most people need to repeat something before they remember it. Make a study deck - see the link below to learn how! - and repeat the facts over and over when you can't practice them.
Here are some reasons to study social studies:
- ANYTHING you study makes you smarter!
- We need to know what happened in the past so we don't keep making the same mistakes over and over
- We need to know what other cultures are like so that we are not so afraid and prejudiced against them
- We need to know how other people do things because sometimes their ways work better than ours
- We need to know about the really bad things that happened in our past, like the World Wars and the Holocaust, because we NEVER want those things to happen again!
You know what, that is a very good question. We dont NEED to learn about the past.
it cant help us for any thing in life. School is a terribal thing. they force kids to study
social studies. What ues is there for us to NEED TO learn about social studies?
i dont see no ues. whats the ues learning about the past? no ues.
Unfortunately, this person does not see the use of school in the first place. Proper grammar and spelling seem beyond him. Social studies teaches us not to make the same mistakes our forefathers made. It also teaches us that we have to learn to get along with each other or all of us die. When one group is discriminated against, we all lose. People like Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr, Hitler, Churchill, Roosevelt, and many others give us guides about what to do and what not to do in our social environment.
will because you have to know how we got molded into this country and how we became to know important dates of thegreat past to learn early civilizations and about how something even cease to exist not evolution I mean like Egypt the seven wonders of the world you ancestors so yes it can be a bore but keep in mind this is hoe we were built.
People study social studies to learn about their past and present times. You learn about mistakes and inventions made in history. You get to learn more about your own past, race, ethnicity, and more. History is great to learn because you learn of people who lived before you and your time period.
Unless a person is going to live in SOLITUDE; he'll NEED to "know & learn" HOW TO LIVE WITH OTHER PEOPLE; Society.
Social Studies helps you learn about a place, location, region, human/environmental interactions, and movements.
most universities do not accept students, if they do not have at least one humanities subject
You study social studies so you can learn the laws and past of your country.
But you shouldn't even ask this question because social studies is fun and it is just like listnening to a story.
Social studies is important because people think that we need to know how our ancestors screwed up the world and how other people tried to fix it but all they did was make it worse and people say that social studies is important because we need to know the amazing things people did before our time. Then why are people always saying live in the now not in the past, it makes no sense now does it.
There can be many reasons.
1. The material is boring.
2. They aren't being rewarded for learning.
3. They see it as a chore.
4. They have more interesting things to do.
5. They've had bad experiences.
Does smoking marijuana while studying lessen a student's ability to recall and to concentrate?
Marijuana does affect the short term memory and concentration -- so if you're studying, your concentration and recall will go down.
Also ... marijuana is illegal at the moment, and WikiAnswers would never condone illegal behaviour.
Do you remember things that you hear when you are sleeping?
You don't remember them consciously, but they will seem more familiar, and therefore easier to learn.

How do you pick out the main points you need from written information?

Why do you need to study drafting?
In order to have better final product , i.e document you need to study how to draft it, how to make a concept.
Passive listening is giving someone your full attention and not saying anything back to them. You do not use any body language when you are listening passively.
It is more of being in the mindset of accepting things what the other has to say because as long as you are ready to question what is being said, you cannot fully understand what the speaker is trying to convey( because half of your attention will be in deciding what and how to say back)
