- New neuroscience research demonstrates specific steps you can take to learn new subjects, skills and tasks more quickly and retain more. Here are some tips from neuroscientists:
- Learn several new subjects simultaneously. Neuroscientists call this interleaving. Instead of focusing on one subject, task or skill during a study session, they suggest focusing on several related subjects in succession. They say the variety keeps your mind more engaged, active and enables you to learn more quickly.
- Frequently vary the way you study. According to experts at Johns Hopkins, constant repetition is not as effective as varying and modifying the subject or skill you're trying to learn.
- Rehearse your new skills out loud. Experts say that's a big re-enforcer.
- Wait 6 hours to allow your brain to consolidate your new knowledge. The experts add sleep on it.
- Rigorously test yourself on what you've learned. Neuroscientists say nothing is more effective to accelerate learning.
- Other neuroscience tips include 6 to 10 minutes of exercise a day, even walking, to improve your brain function. Continuous learning, meditation, enough sleep and a healthy diet are also cited as highly beneficial to increased learning.
- These tips are from top neuroscientists in recently completed research studies that have just been published.
