Course content

3 sections • 17 lectures • 1h 43m total length

Introduction1:40
Discover practical memory and study techniques from a neuroscientist, including 150+ strategies, differences between consolidation and reconsolidation, and how to reach the zone of approximate development for lifelong learning.
Images as memory prompts6:18
Images serve as memory prompts, leveraging visual processing and emotional imagery to boost memorization. Visualize vivid, abnormal pictures that capture the gist and support retrieval without notes.
Images as memory prompts
Deep and Shallow Processing3:59
Explore how depth of processing enhances memory by moving from shallow to deeper processing, building richer connections, elaborations, and lasting memory traces through meaningful engagement.
Deep and Shallow Processing
Active and Passive Learning5:22
Active and Passive Learning
Multi-sensory Learning8:06
Boost memory by practicing multisensory learning, encoding with at least three senses and textured imagery. Explore left-right brain engagement, tactile study techniques, and reading aloud to strengthen recall.
Multi-sensory Learning
Types of Memory4:04
Explore how action potentials enable memory, distinguish declarative (explicit) and non-declarative (implicit) memories, and examine episodic and relational memory as senses integrate.
Types of Memory

Working Memory and getting the most out of it.10:09
Master your working memory by chunking information, minimizing distractions, and linking new material to existing memories to strengthen long-term retention.
Working Memory
Forgetting5:02
Explore how forgetting arises from retroactive and proactive interference, as old memories are blocked by new ones, while mood and environment serve as cues that aid recall.
Forgetting and how not to do it ... the Quiz
Spaced Repetitions6:52
Practice spaced repetitions with flashcards to combat the forgetting curve, using timed intervals, tracking memory with five boxes, shuffling cards, and using anagrams to strengthen recall.
Spaced repetitions
Mechanism of Understanding9:45
Explore the mechanism of understanding and memory optimization through information compression, decompression, layers of thought, personalization, and applying information to reduce forgetting.
The Mechanisms of Understanding.
Fours stages of Learning6:30
Explore the four stages of learning: input to working memory, enrichment, consolidation, and reconsolidation, and how techniques, practice, and sleep strengthen long-term memory.
The four stages of learning
Zone of Approximate Development2:11
Explore the zone of approximate development, where tasks are just challenging enough with scaffolding. Use the Goldilocks zone and bite sized chunks guided by a more knowledgeable other to progress.
Zone of Approximate Development.
The Feynman Technique5:18
Explore the Feynman technique to deepen understanding by preparing with simple language, identifying gaps, teaching to others, and seeking expert feedback through an iterative four-stage cycle.
The Feynman Technique
The Linking System Part 13:36
Explore the linking system: create vivid, multisensory images to link a sequence of words, enabling memory of speeches and instructions, and recall keywords forwards or backwards through playful, absurd associations.
The Linking System Part 26:53
The linking system
The Method of Loci7:34
Use the method of loci, a memory palace technique, to link key study words to familiar environmental cues through visual and emotional associations for durable recall.

Requirements

A can do attitude
A high openness to new ideas
A love of learning

Description

Epistle to the student

Are you dedicated to studying but want to take it to the next level?

Do you need the necessary brain theory to reach your learning potential?

What if there was a resource that contains all the study skills techniques that you could ever require in just one place!

Wouldn’t you want to access that liberating information?

GUESS WHAT! IT IS RIGHT HERE!

Welcome to “ Study Skills for the Advanced Learner”, the most developed, well presented and comprehensive accelerated learning resource on the web.

By the end of this course, you should be able too:

Use your working memory more effectively.

Learn the processes that underlie understanding.

Make use of consolidation and reconsolidation.

Integrate the four stages of learning into your study session.

Comprehend why forgetting occurs and what you can do about it.

Practice getting into Vygotsky's zone of approximate development.

Blend selective study with spaced repetitions to maximize memory.

Create a personalised learning system that matches your memory preferences.

Learn the tricks for reducing the workload for that big upcoming exam without lose of marks.

Activate your latent visual potential by translating writing into images.
