Become a SuperLearner® 2: Learn Speed Reading & Boost Memory

One of the major things that makes this course different is that we emphasize memory improvement first and foremost. This lecture will explain why.

This lecture gives a brief background on how the brain works using theories from cognitive neuroscience.

In this lecture we learn about a powerful mnemonic hack called "chunking."

In this lecture, we get to see chunking in action and look at some exercises and activities that will help us practice it.

The Chunking Worksheet will help you understand the importance of chunking before you begin playing some of the recommended games.

In this lecture, we learn about "dual coding" and "brute force learning" - two central parts of the SuperLearning methodology.

This quiz will evaluate whether or not you understand the core concepts surrounding memory and improved memorization. This is a critical step before we start practicing the actual techniques we’ll be using.

Visual memory will be the most impactful skill you'll learn in this course. In order to generate curiosity and get you thinking about the subject before we dive in, we've created this pre-quiz. You should go through it carefully and spend some time thinking about each and every question!

Visual memory will be the most impactful skill you'll learn in this course. In order to generate curiosity and get you thinking about the subject before we dive in, we've created this pre-quiz. You should go through it carefully and spend some time thinking about each and every question!

It turns out that creativity is a huge part of becoming a SuperLearner. This lecture explains why - and how to make sure you have enough of it!

In this lecture, we learn what types of images will work best for you going forward.

This quiz will ensure that you understand one of the most important steps towards becoming a SuperLearner: how to train yourself to harness the brain’s picture superiority effect and utilize visual memory effectively.

You may be wondering how visual memory will be related to reading. This lecture explains all that.

Ready for another demo? Let's see how visualization works in action.

This lecture explains how we can improve our markers and create better ones.

Logical and creative markers help us connect things together in our mind. This lecture teaches us how to use them.

It's time to step out of the lab and try your new skills in the real world!

Linking our markers together is an important aspect of remembering them. This lecture shows us how to do it right!

Let's see what it looks like to put everything together with random facts!

Now, let's see what it looks like to follow along with a text and go through the SuperLearning process.

Markers are a crucial component of SuperLearning. This quiz will evaluate how well you understand the theory and application of markers.

By now, you know a lot about speed-reading and SuperLearning. Now, it’s time to think seriously about how to maintain the new memories you’re creating over the long term. This quiz will test some of your misconceptions before we dive in.

One of the major misconceptions about super learning is that you don't have to review your new knowledge. On the contrary, super learners review their knowledge in a systematized and deliberate way. This lecture will share some great tips on how to do that effectively.

In this lecture, we learn about mind mapping, A powerful technique for creating, storing, and organizing new knowledge.

Memory Palaces are one of the single most powerful techniques you can use to improve your memory. In this lecture, we will learn what they are and how to use them.

In this lecture, we learn about two different powerful techniques for adopting our visual memory skills towards memorizing strings of numbers.

In this section, we’ve learned why and how we should maintain our memories using a number of sophisticated techniques and strategies. This quiz will make sure you are well equipped to use them in your own SuperLearning practice.

Pre-reading is a big part of the SuperLearner methodology, and so in this pre-quiz, we're going to assess some of your thoughts about it.

In this lecture we learn about the SQ3R system.

Pre-reading is a critical component of accelerated learning. In this lecture, you'll understand why.

In this lecture we start to understand some strategies for generating interest and maintaining focus.

This lecture will give you an opportunity to see what it actually looks like to pre-read, and what things you should be noticing in your pre-reading.

Effective pre-reading is one of the most under-rated skills in a SuperLearner’s toolkit. This quiz will make sure we understand how to effectively leverage it.

A lot of people trick themselves into thinking they understood what they read. Don't be one of those people!

We have yet to get into speed reading itself, but by now, your comprehension should have improved dramatically, and with the skill of pre-reading, you should be able to read a little bit faster. Let’s check your progress with this quick speed and comprehension test. If you don’t see a major improvement in your speed, don’t worry: that’s coming up in this chapter. You should, however, see a marked difference in your retention score.

We've finally arrived at Speed Reading. This pre-quiz will test some of your assumptions about it, and generate some curiosity and thinking on the matter.

In this lecture we learn about the biggest hurdle to reading faster and comprehending more: subvocalization.

In this lecture we'll learn about saccades, a key part of speed reading

Now it's time to learn how to make your saccades wider and more efficient.

"How do I use saccades on my _______ device?" This lecture tells you all about it!

Some closing thoughts on saccades and how to use them in the real world, as well as how to make them even more efficiently.

The core of our speed-reading skills involve sight-reading. Let’s make sure you understand what exactly that means before moving on!

It's time to start speed reading! First, we'll learn how to use a visual pacer for training purposes.

In this lecture we outline a specific training schedule for the coming weeks.

This clever little trick will help you manage the speed increases.

When we speed read, we don't actually create markers during the reading process. This lecture will clear that right up for you!

Here's a step-by-step walkthrough of how we do it!

Ideally, we want our markers and their links to coincide with the structure of the text. This lecture explains how.

From here on out, you'll be training largely on your own. This lecture explains how to manage that and what to do if you backslide.

Take this quiz only after you’ve been practicing your optimized, efficient saccades and broken the “sound barrier.” This should take a couple of weeks, so we recommend skipping the quiz for now if you intend to continue reading. Come back to it later to track your progress!

In the last week, we’ve worked hard to solidify and improve our speed reading skills. This quiz will make sure we’re still on the same page despite the rapid pace.

Now that you’re humming along as a SuperLearner, it’s important that you understand the key role that environmental factors and behaviors can play on your learning efficacy. This quiz will get you to start thinking and challenging some of your assumptions.

That sleep is one of the most important fundamentals for learning? In this lecture you'll learn how to optimize it.

In this lecture, you will learn how to set up your learning environment for optimal performance.

By now, you know a lot about speed-reading and SuperLearning - but have you made sure your lifestyle and environment are set up to maximize your success?

In the coming section, you’ll be learning how to tailor your skills to other facets and areas of your life. This chapter will get you thinking about how to best do that, before we dive into the actual skills and strategies themselves.

Not all of our learning comes in books in blog posts. We also do a lot of learning by audio or video. This lecture will help us accelerate and improve that learning using the same techniques and adapting them to different media.

One of the best and most impactful ways to apply your new skills is by learning a language. This lecture will tell you how to adapt your skills to do that in a much faster and more efficient way!

Remembering faces and names is one of the biggest frustrations for most people. This lecture will give you a simple system to avoid any future difficulty or embarassing mishaps.

In this lecture, you'll learn about our new subscription program.
